Fanexpo Saturday-Monday!!! 💕💕💕

Extremely good episode,

Ah I see:

📰TOPH BEIFONG GAMEPLAY TRAILER FOR AVATAR LEGENDS! The game will be releasing in Summer 2026!

How it feels applying for non-animation jobs right now 1/2

AI art looks like ass and you would be better off using stick figures. Seriously. I know you think it looks professional or whatever, but using AI for your game makes it look horrible.

ferris wheels are gentle and motherly eldritch beasts, roller coasters though.... while still benevolent entities they're more like trickster gods, if they had arms they will pretend to grab your nose off your face and eat it

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???????

I'm too tired to make a map, please remember A243...A243...

Fanexpo Saturday-Monday!!! 💕💕💕

Feeling like designing cartooney queens and princess. Here's a Pipe Princess. No that sounds bad, a Sewer Queen. Still not right, oh well.

well thats disappointing, but I'm not surprised. :\

It has just come to my attention from a lovely mutual, tysm for keeping us updated! the creator did an interview defending all the VAs essentially, even problematic ones and not understanding who would be upset by “problematic meows” and wanted people who have conflicting ideologies essentially 💀

Seven disastrous spirits bound together, with various variations on their origin. Doubtlessly, their roster would shift with changing times and many years to hunt.

Gotokuneko - [yokai] - a forgetful Nekomata which bellows fire into a hearth: it dances about with a stoves iron trivet on its head, forgetting that it lit the flame, and so, its tail's ignite... accidental pyromaniac putty-tat …where IS my pipe anyway? - samkalensky.com/products/got...

Tesso - [Yokai|Onryo] - The vengeful spirit of a priest which manifested as a gigantic Rat with iron sharp teeth and claws! he commanded a plague of 84,000 rats to tear up all the books and sutras in temples across Kyoto! - Full post: samkalensky.com/products/tesso

Umibōzu - 海坊主 - [Yokai] - mysterious ocean giants that vary in size from human size to titanous. They are often said to resemble a balding monk. Usually appearing on calm nights, right before a storm, they ask for a barrel… an easy ward is said to be a lit cigarette. samkalensky.com/products/umi...

Yama-Oroshi - [yokai] - A worn-out Daikon grater used to make garnish. It was left abandoned in the mountains, after decades of neglect, it came to life and ran about wildly scratching its porcupine like head on whatever it could! but alas, its spines had grown dull: samkalensky.com/products/yam...

Namazu Benkei - [Yokai|Charm] - Dressed up and proudly posed like the famous monk-turned-warrior who stole 1000 weapons from samurai whom he deemed unworthy; This catfish instead wields tools that would be useful in repairs after an earthquake! samkalensky.com/products/nam...

Kids, you'd better eat your veggies or else. MOTTAINAI!!! 👻🥕- full story: samkalensky.com/products/oba...

Kurayaro - [Yokai] - An old wooden saddle which turned into a dirge singing Tsukumogami; It wanders about the battleground where it was left. Acting like a warrior with a stick in hand in place of a wooden sword; it bitterly laments the betrayal of his masters. samkalensky.com/products/kur...

Muku-mukabaki - [Yokai] - Riding Chaps made from a deers pelt, worn by a nobleman who was assassinated during a hunting trip on Mount Akazawa.

Hyōtan-kozō - [yokai] - Once a hollow drinking gourd; used like a bottle or flask, but instead of holding “spirits" it was used superstitiously as a vessel to trap bad luck. it became a sickly Tsukumogami. It pops out of thickets, causing monks to riot in prayer! - samkalensky.com/products/hyo...

Lumber Rats - [Fearsome Critter] - Ordinary Pack rats (& mice) which grew to the size of bears from eating pancake crumbs at Ol'Pauls cook shanties. Paul decided to train & breed 'em to help the lesser Axe Men haul redwoods by "twisting their tails." 🐀 samkalensky.com/products/lum...

Who up posting they fish #sardine #fish #digitalart #painting

See pic - but for real though. People need to stop and ask themselves why they are letting some white supremacist and eugenicist techbro dweebs dictate their futures. You don't have to use their stuff, give them money, or act like they have any credibility (they don't). This ain't a Black Mirror ep

3 sleeps left til @fanexpovancouver.bsky.social !! Woo wheee
