In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

Gold just arrived in the mail! GOLD I say! This was one of my favorite games growing up, and my gf has never experienced it. I can NOT wait to show it to her!

As an artist, I say we must use our power to create to help take down the anti-woke fascists. Freely express your opposition to them and solidarity with communities threatened by them most. We will not be controlled by them, and we need to openly say it out loud and all together.

Drew @chuggaaconroy.bsky.social’s team so far, with the recently evolved Nettle and the newly caught Agate! I’m still curious what the rest of the team will be like. #Pokemon #sketch #art #2dart #2d #PokemonHeartGoldSoulSilver

If anything, my new year's resolution is to be a much stronger animator and creative by 2026's end. I'll build the new channel and make it something I'll be proud of, something with the potential to become something great. Whether or not it happens is up to me. I won’t give up.

Magnus just gliding along in his ghost-tail form. ~👻 Also, this is the first 2D "walk" cycle I've animated! One small step towards my ambition! 😤 #art #animation #2dart #2danimation #digitalart

Our government’s priorities are entirely backward. And purposefully so.

A rough full-body walk cycle for Magnus! Don't mind that the tail is a little detached, I had to scale it up from the last test I did. Methinks I'm about ready for clean-up! 😄 #art #animation #2dart #2danimation

Since I'm delving into 2D animation, I've just thought of doing an action shot based on this moment from Skellington's Revenge. Naturally I need more practice first, but it's something I can look forward to. (I also needed to bring up this YTP for its anniversary, of course 😉)

I was really happy that @chuggaaconroy.bsky.social chose Chikorita for his starter, so I drew little Nettle for the occasion! I can’t wait to see who the other members of the team will be! #Pokemon #2dart #art #2d

The gf's got a new chapter of her #GartenOfBanban rewrite narrated and premiering! 😄 youtu.be/LcPBNn4adGg

Fröhliche Weihnachten, alle! May this day be a peaceful and happy one! 🎄❣️

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?” For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid. Because I care about people. You dipshit.

It's a bit late, but I wanted to share this quick birthday vine I made! I also tried some new techniques, like making new layers with just faces and mouths and such without having to draw the whole body! I'd day it works well! #2danimatic #2dart #2danimation #2d #art #animatic #animation

AI is a cancer.

Here's an early Christmas gift! 12/25 9 A.M. #GartenofBanban #BanbansGarden youtu.be/LcPBNn4adGg

Mega Man told people to pick up a pen that’s my fucking GOAT

So not only do they think handing the creative world over to AI is "common sense," but they say we'll need to be "fully proficient in AI" to be the best. Instead of, you know, using real skills and our actual brains. Interesting that it's always CEOs pushing bullshit like this.

Way too many blue wave liberals on here sharing AI images making fun of Trump or whatever. Please stop.

Next year, I’m doing something I like to call, The Year Of #PoppyPlaytime! I’m going mainly focusing on a lot of Poppy Playtime animatics, as well as hopefully, the long awaited DogSay animatic! Here’s some other promos of future Poppy Playtime animatics!

"Rowling will undoubtedly receive substantial royalties from the Fortnite skins… That money will likely be funneled into her hate campaign against trans people. "… over a third of… funding for the [U.K.] case came directly from Rowling…" www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/12/fort...

The Harbinger of Slop

Rough test for Magnus's "walk" cycle! I focused on his ghost tail to make sure it would come out right, given I've never animated waves like this before. You can also see a couple diagrams I drew for reference. Now to add a rough test for his body!

Over the past few days I have entered animation mode! My first mission is making walk cycles for each character on my roster, and I'm currently working on my avatar. I'm actually working on him in his ghost form first, which means he has a wavy tail instead of legs. Regardless, it's fun challenge!

We can do even more.

Bro had his feefees hurt because he got called out for pushing genAI on his studio, threw a Twitter tantrum about it, and now he's dropping off the grid to "explore the dark side." Someone this immature with skin thinner than paper has no business being the head of a studio.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

I really want to emphasize that this is a winnable fight, but everyone has to chip in in order to do so! Please dont sit it out expecting others to stand in your place! And dont ignore local/state level stuff! As these state laws get overturned, the narrative behind the Fed ones lose steam!

Cartoon characters are just cartoon characters. We take from them what we need and want, but characters are who they are. They have their own journeys. I think sometimes people forget the point of fiction. I’ve seen people let characters dictate their life, as have I. It’s not worth it.

The gang's all here! 😄 New channel banner is done! (Serafina and A.R.T. are crouching to fit into YouTube's logo-safe area, lol)

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

nothing can put a bigger smile on my face than reading that Microsoft has to scale back its AI ambitions because NOBODY uses copilot.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Another WIP of my new banner! (it's all just linework with no fills rn) I've been trying my best to keep everyone on model. Only 2 characters are left to be sketched, after which I'll be making a few touch-ups before drawing the clean lines. Wish I could just do it now (stupid day job 😩)

Drop some anime

Drop some anime

Began working on an updated banner this morning, with roughs of Magnus and Eva down so far. Once this is done, I'll be making small animation tests and other assets for each character on the roster. Need plenty of practice if I'm to move forward.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

There's a new animated adaptation of Animal Farm coming next year, and it does NOT bode well. First impression: they've dumbed Orwell's classic down to a painful degree. As someone familiar with the novel and first animated version, I couldn't believe this trailer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8wL...

the disney and openai partnership is a bleak look into a potential future where all of these creative arts companies and media industry of every type is entirely owned and operated by big tech

Here's JRR Tolkien on today's Time Magazine People of the Year and Disney's deal with OpenAI

We really need to double down on outwardly stating our work does not contain AI. We're seeing it in movie credits and books, we have to start putting it on things we make and pressuring others to label their work as human made, and normalize that as much as we can, I think. stuff like this maybe

Coming this month. #BanbansGarden #GartenofBanban

"For the question of "can city council block merger", the answer is: "They [city council] can refer the case to a federal court for review, basically overriding the Trump administration's authority over it. The City has standing because it's our jobs that will be lost in the inevitable downsizing""

Apparently they've now done more than turn off the comments. 🤣 They're as pathetic as their "film."

it's like a house of cards situation where when AI pops, the dependence will be so baked in that everything that adopted it will crumble. Only the people who held out against the "it's the future, idiot" propaganda will emerge (I hope lol) I'm so thankful every day that I can read, write, and think
