Godzooky. (The West should just.... never be allowed near this IP for the rest of time) Doodle request from my fine patrons - patreon.com/collectedcur...

Sinclaire Sunday.

Oh, why are all images on Bluesky "WebP", now? I f**king hate that format.

Feline Friday.

The Iran situation, the lack of US planning and direction, is insane. Monday: "we want the people to rise up" Friday: "we want the unconditional surrender of the country" That is a leap from "here's the chance to determine your future" to "we want to own you".

2003: Iraq invaded for BS reason. 2004 - 2013: Destabilisation of Middle East as a result of Iraq invasion. 2013 onward: Mass migration from Middle East to Europe as people flee instability. USA: "Wow, you guys sure have a migrant problem." 2026: Iran attacked for BS reason.

Happy Threadsday. ...... duck.

Watching Zucky fail to bring about the "Metaverse", while Microslop were too stupid to realise they had both the tools AND an IP with a built-in user-base to make it a reality, has been the funniest thing to happen in the age of social media.

How I arrived on Bluesky

Hey, Spain? 🇪🇸 You making Trump unhappy, too? 🇬🇧

The US's reason for attacking Iran has changed ALREADY? The 2003 "they have WMDs!" bullsh*t held up for longer than 72 hours. How can people who do illegal stuff so often be so bad at it?

I love the banter in SG1. XD

RIP Rob Grant, writer and co-creator of Red Dwarf. I f**king LOVE those first few series.

Started making my own chocolate a while back. Thought I'd take a shot at other confectionery. Behold; the Mark 2 Gummies. (The Mark 1s were..... unstable) I WILL be free of the over-priced brands!!

Ursula, from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". Doodle request from my fine patrons - patreon.com/collectedcur...

There's an anime about an illustrator who travels back to the distant past (1992) and has to work for a company making 16bit video games? ..... well that's something I think I need to see!

Werewolf Wednesday.

Eeeey! Didn't know SG1 was on Netflix! That's my background noise set for the next few weeks.

Just finished "Pennyworth". That was.... GOOD (as long as you quit after the first two seasons). It has f**k all to do with Batman and the crazy alternate timeline in which it's set is fascinating. It was like watching "Doctor Who" with swearing, violence and fascist-punching.

April O'Neil, from "Ninja Turtles", that time she became a cat. ..... it happens. Doodle request from my fine patrons - patreon.com/collectedcur...

Sinclaire Sunday.

"Trump sends hospital ship to Greenland.... and no one knows why" is my fave headline of the day. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Feline Friday.

When did "-core" become a suffix?

"Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace" I love the bad grammar. It fits so perfectly. Has it been renamed "The Donald J. Trump The White House", yet?

Werewolf Wednesday.

Watched "Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters" (2022). Purcell, Adams and Mignola, living in the same building.... throwing beer cans at each other. That's a crazy image.

Hornet, from "Silksong". Doodle request from my fine patrons - patreon.com/collectedcur...

Parents give their children unsupervised access to the internet with smart phones, but it's the FREEDOMS OF THE INTERNET they attack. This is about CONTROLLING INFORMATION, what you see and what you say. It's nothing to do with "protecting" anyone. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hate lore-dumps at the start of an RPG. It's a big no-no when it comes to storytelling in general, but games are there to be PLAYED; if there's information to impart, it needs to be done through gameplay.

Feline Friday (the 13th)

Rouge the Bat..... who I still want to call "Rogue". Doodle request from my fine patrons - patreon.com/collectedcur...

Might not have time for a new wuff this week, so here are a few from the archive :)

Disney can't "save" Star Wars, but they can still profit from it. All they have to do is make a direct adaptation of the "Heir To The Empire" trilogy, BUT, they must approach it as Lucas approached "New Hope"; treat it as though it's everyone's FIRST Star Wars movie.

I know there's a few short-form-content junkies out there that reeeeally need to watch this: youtu.be/uDkyP37JgY0

Caturday.

Werewolf Wednesday.

AI concept art is a bad idea. The concept phase of a project isn't just about farting out images and pointing to what looks pretty; it informs direction and avenues of further research. It is where the overarching style of a project is hammered out. Where MEANING is defined.

"'member Deathclaws?" "'member the NCR?" "'member stimpacks an' Pipboys an' powerarmour?" You guys put any actual STORY in your story? "'MEMBER THE FALLOUT THEME TUNE?!"

The delight of stumbling upon a piece of solid media that you were never looking for, but which completely changes you. You'll never get that from an algorithm. (From a recent drawing jam with @crispduck.bsky.social)

The Adobe Animate situation is an example of why (where possible) you should never ONLY save work as a proprietary format, especially in this "own nothing and be happy" age. Completed an image? Save two high res versions; the proprietary AND a universal for backup.
