I love how they act as if kids are incapable of comprehending the concept of someone getting beaten up. It's the same with those idiots who keep saying things like "I can't believe Avatar The Last Airbender was made for kids"

Tubi being an ASVOD service actually benefits not only them but also the consumer seeing that the ads actually help Tubi pay their fees to the studios, and that way they don't have to pass the cost down to the consumer, meaning Tubi is basically cable TV without the monthly cable TV price

Sketch for Skaigai

on this day 99 years ago, harry belafonte was born, then he gave us this (among several other accomplishments in the arts and civil rights movement) silly 1988 music video for Beetlejuice which includes takes which are not in the final film 🪲

Want to see some very good people lose their minds over the first(and only) bad film that Pixar put out and the delusional, creepy director that... ...helmed it? Here we go. And it's great.

Who’s my good boy? 🐕

You don’t really need a budget to do indie animation, the problem is “indie animation” has been reduced to bigger budget/studio works with insane frame-by-frame animation, a big crew/voice cast and a merch line instead of scrappy shit you make in a week by yourself or with some friends in Flash.

Animation "fans" will keep screaming "go indie" at animators and creators, but then will harass, bully, and smear them and become the most toxic MFers on social media.

I spent more on food than I earned from comms in the last two months. This is after cutting my food budget back in December. So I set myself a goal called "Food Money" this month (though I'm not sure how that'll make any difference). I'll keep public track of it. Links: Patreon SubscribeStar Ko-Fi

i would not describe earlier re games as scientifically accurate but this is definitely exclusively a 7 and 8 thing

I have the workprint of the Iron Giant and it's really funny hearing The Giant's voice without the filter

I really hate how so much of gaming "discourse" nowadays just boils down to "this game/series wasn't made specifically for me, therefore it's trash and should not be allowed to exist"

The Narrator - now with a face!

I'm serious when I say this. If any of y'all feel like your dreams of working the animation industry are crushed, give comics a try. It's the best way you bring your vision to life in a tangible form. If you can't draw comics, give it a shot. There's no right or wrong way of doing comics.

I kinda wanna go off of this and point out that many multi-media franchises we have today started out as independent works with budgets of less than $500K (not counting inflation that is). Granted, these are all live-action works but the point still stands.

Finally, someone who gets it. The thin outline aesthetic CAN result in a good cartoon; the issue is that it got overused to the point where the average American animation studio executive didn’t understand what could make it appealing.

I got @uhohcrumble.bsky.social to design a sona to fit my Space Pirate Taco vibe so she can join my streams. This is my art of Space Princess Crumble, but the design was all her. I genuinely adore it, and can't wait for her to join my streams in the future!!!!!

I'm not sure if she plans on posting her art herself, so here's her original design. She also gave herself a little black hole friend!

2026 marks two major anniversaries: the 30th anniversary of Pokémon and the tenth anniversary of Kung Fu Panda 3. So to celebrate, I finally decided to finish this piece I started back in 2023. Wish I had more time to work on it, but I'm happy with the final product. #art #myart #fanart #pokemon

The very fact they actually used real animation cels for this short film in 2026 is absolutely insane and awesome. Probably the best music video I’ve seen in a LONG as time. Pure artistic eye candy. youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ

They used Cels?! Cel animation in the big year 2026

i feel so many people would be less scared to discuss films they enjoyed if people didnt act all high and mighty and dismissing anything they have to say because they personally didnt like a movie

normalise letting people see value in movies that are hated or are divisive instead of dismissing them because there praising a movie u personally deem to be bad #filmsky

Bruce Timm has a known folder of erotic Batman villain drawings. Curt Swan, the premiere Superman artist, drew for Hustler. Steve Ditko drew bondage erotica. Dr Suess has lots of famous nudes. Carl Barks (creator of Scrooge McDuck) had LOTS of erotica. Puriteens are in need of a slap.

UPA solved this without sacrificing quality by focusing on simplicity. Stuff like Tom Terrific and Mr. Magoo did a whole lot with very little and while I, animation hipster, wouldn't mind a return to that style it's basically swept aside by other, uglier cheapass ways of making cartoons...

Cheapass ways to make a cartoon - Lots of talking - Reused animation - Quick cuts to distract from lack of action - Panning on stills for no reason - Lots of walking - Animated mouths on stock faces - Leaning on telling, rather than showing

I love this fluffy fire dog. He made this Pokémon Day very blessed.

MY JOB IS GOING UNDER! They didn't specify why - although if I were to guess, it's cause the store hasn't been doing great the past year - but FUCK! They also said they were gonna try and transfer us into new stores, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. This year has NOT been off to a good start 😓

Reminder - DO NOT harass any animators, actors, writers, or employees at Paramount and Warner Bros. Direct your anger to the shitty executives, shareholders, and the politicians who have the power to stop it. Not the little people who probably hate this as much as we do.

I don't care if this causes a stir, but us Christians need be more vocal about supporting our trans friends. And more importantly, let them know that we're here for them and we love them no matter what.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water. He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him. www.advocate.com/news/lio-cun...

dude i couldn’t focus on what you are saying with that thing on your face #PokemonDay #PokemonWindsWaves

here we go again

Akira Toriyama's philosophy was "Less is more" he was able to tell great stories thanks to his minimalism and ensuring his dialogue for the comedy hit while the scenes of the manga conveyed the action he wanted to tell. sometimes simplicity can help innovate

Accounts I'd recommend people follow if they want a nicer timeline: @goodnewsnetwork.org.web.brid.gy @goodable.bsky.social @upliftingnews.bsky.social @progressntwrk.bsky.social @reasonstobecheerful.world That's all, back to your regularly scheduled furry softcore xD

No way shit's ever gonna get better if the immediate response from all of you whenever you hear any bad news is to just lay down in despair and wait to die.

Happy Pokemon Day, here's the art I drew of my ZA Trainer.

Made some Sly Cooper inspired logos/symbol's of the Gun Kitty trio for @girlywolfpup.bsky.social for fun!

I assure you, making an animatic or storyboard that isn't animated on-par with a Looney Tunes short doesn't hamper the quality of your work, you can still make great things without trying to be the next Disney or Don Bluth.

If you live near a Dollar Tree and have like $5, art is accessible to you

So yeah, now that some time has passed. I think two things are true. This impending Paramount-Skydance takeover of Warner Bros. is BAD-BAD-BAD and should not happen... And that Bluesky is dooming as usual. Criticize and yell, yes, that's good, but stop w/ the "it's over" crap.

For anyone who needs to hear it; you do not need expensive sketchbooks and pencils and paints or a scanner. Most dollar stores have art and office supply sections. You probably have a camera on some device you own. Get to it
