Throwback to this Bionicle PS1 Soulslike boss intro cutscene I animated for fun a couple years ago! Voice provided by the very generous and talented @kitharrison.com.

This looks so wickedly sick! (Also love the Rango mention, glad to know it’s officially (if it hasn’t already) part of Verbinski’s most famous work!)

Awesome to see AO exploring and sharing other niche artists and communities within the online art/animation sphere. The stickman community are so well fed this year. 🔥

He's just so cool!

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.

if you are actually concerned with devs getting paid what they're worth you could probably say more useful things than "games should be $100". you could condemn excessive exec pay. you could fight for unionization and better labor protections. you could display, like, any interest in ending poverty

When my world is feeling heavy or I’m feeling on the verge of overwhelm, my go to is to put something good out in the world. Hoping I can brighten someone else’s day in return brightens mine. Closest thing I can provide to a hug via the internet.

Shout out to furries for giving me the opportunity, honor and privilege to be able to support myself and my family in one of the worst times in our country, just by drawing art and being myself and happy on here.

now that it's october im legally allowed to post this

an obligatory sparky 😶‍🌫️ #knightsofguinevere #artpost

Hard truth: Just because you don't like a piece of media? That doesn't mean it's bad. Sometimes, you just aren't the right audience. Sometimes, it really is just a matter of taste. Technical skill does exist in sexual adult content. I can't stress enough that skilled artists work on stupid shit.

The homogenisation and consolidation of buisinesses and brands has led to the erosion of the midlist, the indie movie or band or comic. There's a real sense of "I'll only try media that's already popular / famous," and I'm begging you to look for the weird shit, the experimental, the niche.

Gore Verbinski is BACK??!? 🔥

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Really wish people learned to deal with the weird little thoughts in their heads and built trust that the things their brain conjures up and chooses to respond to does not reflect their morality. Your actions do. That's all this puritanical shit is. People scared of their own thoughts and feelings.

I strongly recommend you do the same and post about it to inspire others. We are a bigger group of people than you might think. The effects of the growing boycott are already visible and if we can make an example of DISNEY of all companies there is some hope.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

While I don’t and shouldn’t expect it but it’s nice to see artist friends and the online community take interest in and draw my OC while supporting me to push forward in my art/anim, be it on good or bad days. Couldn’t be more grateful! 💕🙏🏼

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

Classic Polish animation is wild, one-of-a-kind stuff. And hundreds of these films are streaming for free in restored quality. We've taken a brief tour of the work available, with links to watch some of our favorites: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/polish-ani...

#ReviveBen10? Hella yes.

Now that’s a DVD cover.

Remember if your a artist you don’t make “content” that’s the word of the enemy we don’t use that word to talk about something that requires effort and has artistic intent. That word is used too devalue effort to being something made purely for consumption and tossed aside and your better then that.

That TF story you commissioned? Account banned. That vore comic? Banned. That custom puphood? Banned. That latex catsuit? Banned. That fursuit? Furries are called deviants and sexual so... Banned. You went to a con? A furry one? Banned. CALL YOUR PAYMENT PROVIDERS!

I think Superman is more relevant as a character right now than he has been in a long time. After all, we’ve had a long period where the default cultural teaching was that most people are trying their best to be good people. And suddenly we’re in a world where the opposite is openly encouraged.

Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

Your perfect image is not going to stay that way forever. We know you look at our work, build your audiences and platforms off our backs. If you draw nudity you are affected. If you draw queer people you are affected. If you draw horror art you are affected. Say something, fucking anything.

There's always been a divide between SFW and NSFW artists. You see it in the way people joke about drawing porn to make money, or when SFW artists use their already giant platform to open NSFW comms with huge success and then shit on NSFW artists simultaneously for not doing well.

‘Weapons’ was such a fun and great watch, probably would have enjoyed it a lot more if I wasn’t such a pussy during some of the scenes lol. But hey, I survived! The story was well written and tight, no scene was wasted and man the sound design and score is just sooo damn good. 💋👌🏻

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

*Why is so much censorship bullshit happening all at once?" Because this is The-Push. They've been tightening the screws for years now to the point the internet is now passively more censored than daytime tv from 30 years ago, and now they're trying to do one last push to snuff out free speech

We have always existed

Hey, buddy. Are you tired? Are you allowing the state of the world to steal some of your light and your peace? Have you strayed and become insanely bitter even towards those who love you? Hey. Please rest and don't give up on everything just yet. There's still goodness here.

To everyone who wants Visa and Mastercard to stop screwing with our platforms: This thread contains everything you need to fight back! - A script - Form links - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Petitions - and more! Let's flood these fuckers with complaints until they get the message!

The push to censor what kind of art can be purchased online and the supposed promise of Generative AI to revolutionize our relationship to art, to turn art into a funko-pop assembly line that is controlled by corporations and not artists: I think both of these are connected imo.
