China really is looking more and more like the future of animation. I wish it spurred health competition here in the US. But American companies would rather outsource and acquire rather than develop talent and products of their own. Its unsustainable. I really don't know what to do some times.

If anyone ever tells you it’s the union’s fault that studios have increased outsourcing, think about what is actually happening as far as the unions asking for living wages and protections and how far studios have decided to go to avoid adhering to that

A few of my favorite of our environment shots from Sword of the Sea Reminder that I'm looking for work as an Environment Artist or 3D Artist 🙂

Why are US animated movies so fucking expensive: -other countries offer grants, tax exemptions and public subsidies for artists + financial incentives to hire local. We dont. -Marketing budgets. Test screenings. A SHIT ton of money goes to this. -Hiring big name actors/writers -Executive BULLSHIT

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Hey portland mutuals! I have an extra RCCC ticket that I'd trade for occasional water bottle refills and maybe a bathroom break if I'm dying. I kinda forgot it's this weekend.

Hi everyone! We're Spry Fox. 🦊 As some of you may have heard, we've been working on our newest project: Spirit Crossing, a cooperative life-sim focused on friendship & community. Let's take a look at the world we've been crafting: 🌲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEKb... ☀️ playspiritcrossing.com

If anyone is curious what we’ve been up to, here’s a great video covering some of the new stuff :) I believe you can still sign up if you want to help test a pro social community sim (aka nonviolent MMO)

hot take but something like 80% of every stylized 3d game out there could stand to lower the saturation on their grass. Sure there's a time and place for having saturation cranked at 99%, and that place is a few frames of UI or VFX and basically nowhere else. Colorful =/= high saturation

Old piece I did for a landscape zine called “Streets of” - I did Morocco. I love the quality of light and temperature play on these old walls.

With how many layoffs we’ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that we’re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

“Females are too emotional to be in leadership” they say as the richest man in the world and the president of the United States cry tweet in an online beef

I would also recommend using the 5 calls app if you want an easy step by step script. So many reasons to oppose this fuckery, AI legislation is just one of them

You can't be pro-unions and also pro-AI. AI is the ULTIMATE scab.

Once again I remind people that laws should not be your guiding heuristic on how you view or treat others. Laws are built on the biased and often bigoted sensibilities of the powerful. Empathy and basic decency (as defined in a way not dependent on anyone's legal status) are a better foundation.

there’s also actually a lot *more* control over one’s self and circumstances if one embraces the inevitability of change trans people *could* be a powerful reminder that we have near-infinite power to change ourselves, and imo it’s a detriment to one’s own wellbeing to be transphobic and miss this
