haha wheee comic update woo #oote #OutoftheEther www.newgrounds.com/art/view/out...

Reading a list of euphemisms for going to the bathroom and came across the phrase “brine a stink pickle” and I’m now a different person

I’ve long been fond of “eat my ass” as my genital neutral version of “suck my dick”, but I’ve recently discovered “blow my toe” which has the advantage of being child friendly and more suitable for use in family situations

Damn, yapping about how many animators don't practice their walks the other days and BAM, the legend posts a video on walk cycles. Learn to animate walks! They are so very important to character acting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vihI...

My bestie and I have a WhatsApp chat that consists of us just sending this video back and forth

I’ve posted this a million times, too many people forgot what social media was like before the algorithm spoon fed you you can have cool stuff on your timeline if you actually follow people posting cool stuff it’s that easy

never have, never will. Immediately think less of people who even use it "just to make fun of it"—don't feed the Lying Machine, dammit.

I know this is Porky Pig's debut film and all but

Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art" There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept. You're using ai for concept art.

Get'm girls!

Father activated my autism earlier

I don’t know why but my comfort video has become that one of that guy talking about 12 different kinds of eggs

They are treating Grok like a human, without giving it the accountability of a human. If a human apologised when asked by Person 1, then retracted the apology when asked by Person 2, then photoshopped Person 1 naked when asked by Person 3. I don't think the take away would be the apology.

I’m whistling a tune at work, My friend asks “are you whistling the Puddle Of Mudd cover of about a girl?” I’m like “how did you know I was specifically whistling that version?” And he’s like “CAUSE I KNOW YOU!”

THE NEW YEAR!!! Back to story-boarding. In like an hour or so! www.twitch.tv/wizardzwiz

*breaks down the wall of your house* hey, you. see that purple void behind me? i'm taking you there.

wild how we're simultaneously enacting what amounts to a creeping state-by-state porn ban and also telling everyone the whole future of the internet is robots that simulate CSAM and non-consensual sexualized images on demand

2025 sucked, I’m ready to wring greatness out of 2026 whether it likes it or not!!!

EVERYTHING I PAINTED THIS YEAR IN 60 SECONDS (and by everything I mean almost but not quite everything) ((And by 60 seconds I mean 100 seconds bc I like this song and wanted to fit it in))

One of my first studio gigs was illustrating decals for environmental design in animation and it was legit very fun and rewarding.

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

I have no boughs and I must deck

All I remember about last night was we were playing a bird-themed card game where you have to yell “calm your tits!” When you get the fat-balls card, but i couldn’t remember the phrase so I yelled “cock and balls!” And now it’s the name of the group chat

“I’d be down for that” and “I’d be up for that!” Mean the same thing, what is this bullshit

Like, I’m doing good at work and my gran is well taken care of, but it’s Christmas Eve Eve and I haven’t put decorations up yet, the house is a mess, I’m catching up on like a weeks worth of laundry and I’m so so behind on art it’s unreal, but I haven’t told him about any of that lol

One of my best friends said I was hyper-competent this morning and I’ve been thinking about it since, because I really, REALLY don’t feel that way. I feel like my entire adult life has just been spinning plates and doing everything JUST good enough to keep everything going smoothly.

Not every problem but probably 60-70% of the problems online could be mitigated by understanding that people you don't know/don't like are still capable of kidding around.

you know what else you miss out on when you farm out your foundational work to genAI? Unexpected twists in worldbuilding. Little on-the-spot quirks that are fun and engaging and add that much more life to your work. I was fleshing out more of my setting's main elf language and came to swears.

YES! this is what techbros who have let their creative selves wither call "procrastination" or "inefficiency" and try to technologise away, not understanding that it is the source of creativity and imagination and everything good

Like man, my career only exists in the way that it does now because a production designer was googling "realistic pokemon" and found me. If he could have just had a machine spit that out, I never would have gotten a job. This is a major issue hitting artist discoverability.

“AI is inevitable” yeah so is dying, bro. Go create something with the time you have left here

Things you can do as a non-artist to communicate your commission idea without using genAI: -Pen doodle on a sticky note -Writing !!! -Bad Photoshop -Moodboard -Magazine Clippings -Breathe onto a window and scribble on the glass with your index finger -Mouse doodle in MS Paint -Paper cutouts

Says more about me honestly

oh yeah, I updated this thing over the weekend. Hooray apocalyptic neighborhood! outoftheether.newgrounds.com #oote #OutoftheEther

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

"Our reality is being destroyed all around us." There it is.

There’s a fire at the pork scratching factory near me and when I told Mark he responded with the most heartbroken I’ve EVER heard him “all those piggies…lost…”

Soma is up there with Silent Hill 2 for me in terms of visual design, storytelling, and sheer horror. A top favorite always. It will send you spiraling into an existential dread, as real horror should.

Reminder: Pete Candeland + Robert Valley = all the old Gorillaz music videos. And in "Feel Good Inc" you could even see a lot of Rob's own character designs.

I don't believe it when anyone tries to say artists are gatekeeping creativity because every artist I know is so generous. Lots of us sharing tutorials, free brushes and assets, share our manus, etc! There's no shortage of info or free tools out there if you're willing to look and learn.

Many people keep trying to pass off genAI as actual artwork. Why? If genAI is so great, why do you need to convince us that you didn't use it? Why do you have to make us think that you actually drew it? Deep down they know the value is in the work, not the end product.

Anyone got that video with the guy playing guitar and his cat doing a long meow during the breaks - it’s not Badu the singing cat, it’s a different black cat. I have it saved to my favourites on Twitter but I refuse to go there.
