Contrast is actually really important for appeal. Not just contrast between your characters and their timing, but also within the scenes, sequences and overall season. If you pump everything up to 12/10 right out of the gate you have to stay there and people expect you to keep going.

Drew a Thundercat. He should be so much thiccer… #thundercats #liono #art

So much good insight in this thread into all the ways animation can be really magical beyond how “smooth” it is. Seeing it quiets a part of me that is rather tyrannical about how smooth my own animation needs to be for it to be “acceptable”.

Okay, so many thoughts... I think we need to start by saying that framing the popularity of Chainsawman as incel literature is dangerously out of touch. Denji is a traumatized teenage boy seeking normalcy and a found family, I'm suspicious that the person quoted has not read it. Why start there?

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

Playing with shapes and brushes! I started a new job this week and it’s been real busy so it’s nice spending time on something cozy and familiar :) #rkgk

Started a rewatch of Mob Psycho 100 and had to sketch the man himself. This show is such a strong contender for my #1. #art #mobpsycho100

Been doing so much storyboarding on a big project that it’s nice to do a little loop for my new EP. I’d love to do one for each of the songs, but this one came so easily I had to see it through! #animation #ambient #music

Joe is legitimately a FIEND for eye trace. Working on boards together is always a treat because he can so quickly identify how stuff reads between cuts.

I'm going to be giving an online workshop on what I think is the most underrated topic in film: Eye-Trace! I've found it so helpful in both my personal and professional work and I can't wait to share what I've learnt! verycreativecompany.com/workshops 👀 👀 👀 (P.S. for 65% off use code WORKSHOP65)

Woke up on the other side of our gnarly winter storm to find a gorgeous cardinal perched in the back yard. The sun followed not too far behind and the ice melted much faster than anticipated. An omen for the times, I think.

Rep. Bennie Thompson demands the Senate vote against CBP and ICE funding and for the House to immediately take up the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I released a small EP with my good buddies over at Artiverse Records and it's available today! Got a cool little interview and everything: artiverserecords.com/blogs/news/c... You can check out Mana Loop anywhere you stream music RIGHT NOW! #indie #music #electronic #ambient

So much of doodling Anzu is getting stuck at the ‘you have to decide on one outfit now’ stage 🙃 #ffxiv | #kaedoodles

here is my defiant and delusional resolution. feel free to follow along for the ride and see if I succeed or fail. either way, you'll be seeing a lot more of me! happy 2026! (1/5)

Seeing this getting rightly dragged all over for all the obvious reasons. But I cannot stress enough that the way to have more good ideas is to fund people for frivolous exploration and discovery. When every idea must have a straight line to profit, it is the death of creativity, full stop.

Jon Gaines (Gainsec), the offensive security researcher who was featured in my recent video, lost employment today. Jon discovered the vast majority of the vulnerabilities with Flock Safety (among many other things) on his own time, which I believe will ultimately result in Americans being safer. 🧵

I MAY BE BEHIND, BUT I’M NOT OUT! I’m catching up after getting a little stuck. Got too in my head, artists, you know how it goes. 😭 DAY 03- #Fairy #Monsterweendraws

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

It’s only “political” violence when the rich and powerful are not safe from it.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in U.S. history. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is robbery, plain and simple. And it’s being committed by the billionaire class and the politicians they put into office.

I miss when Dems had to wait for someone witty enough to actually illustrate and publish a political cartoon before they could dunk on evil plutocrats. Now these shills generate images with the wit of a dull spoon and have to pay an evil plutocrat for the privilege.

Playing a bit of DnD for the first time in a while. Whipped up an aging rocker bard to quest around with!

AI is exacerbating the problem, but this mindset has been plaguing tech for much longer. If you think the biggest problem to solve is “doing more faster” and not “cratering quality and trust” then you shouldn’t have a job, much less a fucking company. www.techrepublic.com/article/news...

I know this isn’t the main point here, but like, people have been disrespecting teachers as glorified babysitters for decades now. His visionary future is built on the most room temperature insult to a profession he doesn’t remotely understand. CEOs are shills and marks, not geniuses.

There are few things more gratifying than seeing a cast of characters become real, finally matching what you've imagined, as you painstakingly grind to improve your design and draftsmanship over years. I am so amped to finally have these goobers alive on screen for others to see!

Mark your calendars, Milwaukee stationery lovers! Bay View Gallery Night, on May 30th, 5-9pm at The Bindery, will be the Paper Pals Stationery Pop Up!

Defending champions is a concept I started developing as I got back into drawing in college, before I had anywhere near the skill to realize it how I imagined it. I revisited it years ago now, only to find that I didn’t feel ready AGAIN!

A couple of months ago I put out a public casting call for voices on a project I've been developing on and off for... a long time. I was BLOWN AWAY at the interest and the quality of the auditions. It is such a gift to hear these characters come to life in the hands of incredible talent!

Show me your style! Currently playing around with different methods for coloring - but I love lineart the most. 💜

Hi Bluesky, could really use your help 🙏🙏 We just launched our latest game Starless Abyss - the exact week that Oblivion was shadow-dropped. Which has been *not fantastic* for our launch If anyone can spare a RT, that would be so, so helpful ❤️❤️ Find it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3167970/...
