The Three Tomes | Opening Theme " A New Chapter" Storyboards by @breanimator.bsky.social and @kaeladraws.bsky.social Music by Tad Piecka www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBEP... #indieanimation #thethreetomes #ocsky #magicalgirl #vampire #witch #blacksky

My unasked advise for people looking to get into indie animation, is to figure out what you can and can't do, then base your production off of that. You just gotta work within your means and aim for what you can actually do!

Just a little update, I finished the animation for ep 4 a few days ago! (mostly). I know things have been quiet for Quartz Quest lately, but we've got some big stuff planned for this summer !! #indieanimation

The pig

Why have all these financial and accounting services following me???? Do I give off the vibe that I need them?

You ever look at Japanese production storyboards and wonder "what the fuck are we (in the USA) even doing" because all's I can say is damn. The level of detail is quick thumbnails at best and that's all you need. Fuck the USA production expectations for storyboards. Stop making us make comic books.

Quartz Quest ep 3 is OUT! finally… #indieanimation

Once I finish Quartz Quest episode 3, i’m gonna learn how to use a CNC wood router, and I’ll probably feel like this Pig I drew.

I'm an animation guy and I'll always be an animation guy, but the idea that any given comic is just trapped in a lesser medium until it's animated is so offensive to me

I think this every time I watch Belladonna of Sadness

Anne of Green Gables books are good

Bob’s World returns to the internet SEPTEMBER 20TH‼️ Get ready for a WILD adventure with Leo, Silvester, and MX (Michelle Xavier)🦁🦎🔮 SEE YOU SOON!!💖 #indieanimation #indieanime

One of my strongest opinions about “ indie animation “ and making things in general is that you should enjoy doing it to some extent.

I think when you get into indie-animation, you should be ready to pay people or barter then, not later. Volunteer labor shouldnt have deadlines. YOU SHOULD HAVE A JOB or do alot of shit yourself. The promise of merch stores, "royalties" and multiple projects? Good for clout. Bad for business.

Cool bug facts! Whenever you see “indie animation studios” announce multiple shows and series being made without any prior establishment, budget, or income to put into it (and i mean big income) odds are they wont see the light of day and is a scam for free labor and piggybacking off others work!

Hey Bluesky! I’m creating #AtlasandtheStars, an indie animated series that follows a human and an alien trying to make their way back home after getting tossed across universes WATCH EPISODES: youtube.com/playlist?lis... WEBSITE: mirandamations.com/atlas-and-th...

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.

Going to learn how to make little wooden toys

They’re only ok at playing music rn.

i’m not an artist, i’m not an illustrator, but a stupider third thing: i’m a cartoonist

Came across these Quartz Quest sketches from a little before I started on ep 1. Was kinda 3 years ago, crazy.

Reminder that you should make art in a way that works best for you. It doesn't have to look amazing or detailed, as long as you're having fun making it.

I would rather make something imperfect than nothing at all

Gonna be real, I kinda rushed through the Quartz Quest ep 3 animatic a year ago, and Im high key paying the price for it now. Always spend a little extra time polishing and checking that animatic, it will make everything smoother. (I have learned this before but sometimes u gotta haller it in.)

🚨 INDIE ANIMATED PILOT KICKSTARTER ALERT! 🚨 Now that I have your attention, go check out Zipped Up by BlipToons! It looks super promising, so you should definitely support it if you can! #zippedup #indieanimation www.kickstarter.com/projects/bli...

Just an update to say I finished animating Episode 3 last week. Now theres just some edits + post production to go! #indieanimation

I have chiikawa brain worms

Keep supporting indie artists! #artist #artistalley #tariffs

"Lyra, we've been turned into something Small and Cute"

a thing I love about indie production is never having to sell an executive on anything, or reassure them it'll come together by making each step 'presentable'. my storyboards can be scribbles. the colour keys can be blobs. I can trust the process.

Some silly Snobellys for your feed #indieanimation

Some times u animate so hard, but trust the process a little too much, and the shot kinda looks ass 😔

Quartz Quest episode 3 is currently wrapping up animation. Its been a long one, but I hope you look forward to this episode and more later this year. #indieanimation

Small rant, while It's awesome to see more support for indie animation these day, there seems to be this unrealistic expectation that all these projects must fit that polished TV budget animation look™️ in order to be deemed 'good.' (1/3)

I just got my little piggies from @alpalart.bsky.social and I’m actually obsessed with them thank you sm Al 😭💖
