Mark your calendars! The Black Friday Sale for my Spectator Tier Class start tomorrow for 1 week! This will be your last chance this year to purchase my pre-recorded class for its lowest price yet! Don’t miss out!

Had to hop on the #frieren art challenge! But wanted to also take the opportunity to answer the original question - “how to draw at different angles?” This is my breakdown on how I draw at different angles and how I simplify the process for myself to get the outcome I want. Hope this is useful!

In honor of #jentrychauvstheunderworld receiving 3 EMMY NOMINATIONS - I am posting 3 new pages of Jentry production art! Thank you for supporting and enjoying our show! It’s gone so so far and we were able to do so because we had the best crew you could hope for! Congrats team!

That’s 3 time Emmy nominated Jentry Chau to you! Congrats team!

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Some of my work from Bat-Fam! Streaming now on Amazing Prime! I was responsible for the mouth charts only here - the original design and turn for Mr.Singh was done by the incredible character design department before I joined to help out. Hope ya dig it!

Aye! Reminder to check out our criminally under-watched show - Carol & The End of The World!

Back again with some more Jentry work! This time to highlight how incredibly collaborative the animation pipeline is! Obvious Spoilers if you haven’t seen the show - stop now!

Whatever production time and cost was "saved" by using AI for one of the most human-dependent disciplines in game making was actively obliterated by the act itself, overshadowing the hard work of every single other developer on the project and making this situation impossible to right. WHO KNEW.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

Going back to some #jentryvstheunderworld art! Today I am dedicating some time to our injured heroes from Ep10. These were designed over the characters existing turns - Jentry’s Cheerleadibg Uniform and her broken arm, held up with Michael’s jersey. And Michael without his jersey and twisted ankle.

A Japanese organization representing Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Toei Animation and more has demanded OpenAI to halt unauthorized use of their IP

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models. OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so. A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

#happyhalloween🎃👻 Sharing another Key Art from #BloodGutsandTears - a book project I was developing last year! This time it’s with a #spooky very #halloween -coded look at the family of non-humans that are the big bad of the story! #visualdevelopment #characterdesign #art #keyart #comics #manga

HELL YEAH get em George

Thanks everyone who showed up to my demo at LBX yesterday! It was a blast! I hope my small talk can assist you on your artistic journey! 💙

I get to bring this out of storage again today.

I went into LBX expecting a lot of doom and gloom, and was instead greeted with a ton of enthusiasm and hope for the future. I met so many incredible people and heard so many kind things. I feel invigorated and excited for the future! There's so many creative people and opportunities out there! Wow!

Friends! Today is the day! I know you are spoiled for choice when it comes to panels and demos @lightboxexpo , but if you are interested in character design and picking up some extra tricks for your tool bag please drop by Hall C today @ 11:30am

Tomorrow! Catch my LBX demo/talk all about pushing your posing and acting. Hope to see you there!

If only everyone could have predicted this www.thegamer.com/ea-generativ...

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

This Sunday! I’m doing a demo/talk at Lighbox2025 ! Hope to see you there!

Next Sunday I’ll be doing a Demo/Talk @lightboxexpo all about how to push your acting and posing! Hope to see you there! #lightbox #lbx #lightbox2025 #lbx2025

Late #PortfolioDay post! I’m Kal, a character designer and art director working in animation and comics. You might know me from my work on Jentry Chau and Carol and The End of the World. I’m trying to grow my BlueSky presence more so any likes and shares are much appreciated:)

Hiya #PortfolioDay! I’m Kal! A character designer, art director, and comic artist based on LA. Happy to connect and appreciate all shares and likes! I’m available for freelance work! ✌️

It's amazing how Hollywood has so much access to resources that would simply tell them a good performance is more important than getting a big name attached. Why is a this a thing we must constantly relitigate (rhetorical, don't answer)

Every time a director says AI is here to stay I simply decide then and there that I won't watch their movies anymore. It's really that simple.

Always grateful when studios tell us exactly why to never watch their stuff again. We do care if we are looking at AI, Jason. We want to watch things made by people. Not machine slop. Put ai in your films and you’ll get even less people tuning in than Megan 2.0

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Jim Lee confirms DC Comics will not support AI-generated storytelling or art

Ridiculous and appalling that Open Ai, amongst other GenAi companies, think they can dictate how THEY use OUR works. No, Open Ai, it should not be authors and copyright holders opting out of your exploitative models. It should be you, Open Ai, asking authors and copyright holders to opt IN.

Welcome back to the #LollipopGang ! Today we are meeting Angel - the second in comman of the LG. Wisdom and experience are his currency, and most often Angel would rather use those than have to get his hands dirty. He values comfort and a measured approach - second only to a good nap.

Key Art for one of the book projects I’be been developing #BloodGuts&Tears - Artwork from last year. For the time being BGT has been pushed to the back of the que after #LollipopGang and one other project I’m really really excited about.

Welcome to #TheLolipopGang . Meet Kirin - the brawler of the group. Joined years ago after rich corporations took over her family’s business and left them with nothing. She joined up with the Lollipops to strike back against the rich and powerful who took everything from her.

Welcome back to #TheLollipopGang ! Jax and Baby Face have a father daughter relationship. Taking care of BF now and making sure he is by her side 24/7 is his way of atoning for his past life. Being with the Lolipop Gang is their way of sticking it to the corporations who made their lives hell.

Fucking stop.

I challenge all conventions to echo GalaxyCon's new policy. Each Artist Alley or booth spot granted to a genAI slop peddler is being being taken away from a working artist. And smart con-runners know it's artists who make them what they are.

Look at what Meta has to do to offset the power of organized labor and creatives! So want to continue fighting against Meta’s Super Pac? One thing you could do is send letters to Californian legislators to pass AB-412, a pivotal transparency bill! Do so here👇 actionnetwork.org/petitions/le...

1/7 This is Showrunner AI, a startup that just a few weeks ago got Amazon funding to become the “Netflix of AI” as reported by Forbes, Business Insider, NBC News and so on. Frustratingly, no news outlets asked or researched the data used by Showrunner. Well after some digging here’s it is👇

Oh the crocodile tears of thieves who might face legal consequences. “But our company might go down!” Well you shouldn’t have felt entitled to profit off works you do not own, and built your entire business off this racket 🤷🏻‍♀️ Also missing from this article- arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
