Here's my spicy one. People need to seriously shut the hell up about the beanmouth. It existed in slient cartoons and it existed a lot more in Japanese anime than American cartoons. Cartoon critics who keep bashing on it don't know jack shit how the industry works. CalArts had nothing to do with it.

I was fortunate enough to have interviewed Gerry Conway. youtu.be/ula2g89mE7Y A humble interview, and I'm not sure he was aware of the sheer impact he's had on the industry, based on this conversation.

Finished commission! #toontown #TTCC

UDPATE: I'm just $121.51 away from reaching my goal! Once I hit the goal, I'm closing commissions for a while and deleting the post. But for those that had reached me via Discord, I'll still work on them if I have you on my list.

there has been a MASSIVE wave of these channels dropping AI generated "cover albums" of video game OSTs and it fucking sucks because there are legitimate musicians who are painstakingly covering these songs and don't get nearly the views.

Every time it turns out someone did something racist in the past and they apologise for it you get a bunch of losers saying "it's not that big of a deal, why are you even apologising" even though the person in question understands that it was bad Why does racism get excused all the time

This entire website is so deeply Zionist man. The sheer amount of Anti-Palestinian bigotry that's normalized under 'woke' pretenses by both the devs and many users is sickening. There is no reason to go after a people already enduring a holocaust so viciously. Please go support them if you can.

So @shanembailey.com posted this Aparo Metal Men cover and as always that "male hero scowl" he drew is just so pure and in my blood. Look at Gold there. The eyebrows, the nose, the set of the mouth. Aparo had this one perfect scowl he used and adjusted a bit and I've never loved a scowl more.

No one did better at conveying just how much Arthur Curry fucking HATES this man than Jim Aparo

Punch-Out au stuff

LRT holy shit

Executives, The bane of a lot of artists!

Yeah, that’s something those really bad Spumco/John K hose suckers that toxically bash these cartoons really need to understand. There’s nothing wrong with disliking modern cartoons aesthetics, but either educate yourself, or understand why artist can’t say no to lamer designs.

If only those cartoon critics understand why the style is there. While I haven't worked on any animation production, I have a degree in animation and understand how things work in the industry.

The whole homogenized beanmouth look in cartoons is pretty much from executives. There's nothing wrong with the style itself. It just needs more variety.

One of the reasons this style is around is due to its quick turnaround rate for animation. It's easier to animate, thus more episodes can be pumped out. The unfortunate part is that studios see this as the "safe" option, hence why it looks homogenized nowadays.

great video about micro-expressions in acting and how botox and plastic surgery is so normalized that it's starting to effect the commonality of this level of acting... at least in american cinema. also how so many sheltered kids today have trouble with it www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWEH...

This quote from Anna Gomez is the way forward. The right has profited from preaching on the overzealotry of “woke leftists” and scapegoated them into being reactionary ninnies. The way we win is to turn that around on them, simply put. Reveal them for the thin-skinned babies they are. 🤷‍♀️

Oh no, look everyone, these well-beloved franchises have characters doing bean mouths, which makes them instantly bad. /s

Happy Earth Day! 🌎😊❤️

i've seen "it would really stick it to the devs if we left bsky" posts & no it wouldn't. they want this web site to be boring crypto idiots who cool their phones off in pools chatting with AI reply bots. instead they have to put up with us and that's deeply funny

It is very strange that people call me a fascist for saying generative AI is bad and I don't use it. My wife is a journalist in an industry where AI is replacing people. She's a BLACK TRANS INTERSEX journalist. Who do you think they'll replace with a robot first?

Hi, I have a Neocities prismaticbolt.neocities.org

It’s the reason we don’t have universal healthcare imo. Some white folks would rather die than see Black people get anything at all

Really sad uptick of minors intentionally hiding their age just to post suggestive content, please stop doing that. I get that the attention probably feels nice but it also opens up doors for danger. Please keep drawings of that nature to yourself and not publicly online.
