James Baxter's Masterclass video about walk cycles is necessary viewing for a lot of reasons (not the least of which being that he's one of the last living masters of 2D animation), especially in how it showcases the drawing habits in his process that I was told were "wrong." (1/5)

Mamdani is proving what we all suspected. The Democrats didn’t want him to win because they knew he’d succeed and show how it’s not just possible to fix things- it’s actually pretty fucking easy.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

remember back when we all doodled the current thing for warmups? we could bring that back, maybe, that was fun

also super important to note that it doesn't actually matter *in the slightest* if you switch over to something else individually, if your industry is still using the other thing. unless all the programs are *compatible with each other* (they aren't) this advice is functionally useless

As someone who lives in Washington state I made my objection known.

ok I will stop fiddling with this now

A bystander took a heart-wrenching picture of Liam Ramos in his hat and Spiderman backpack, and there was pressure, and he and his father are free. We must not forget all the prisoners still in the camps whose names and faces are known only to their loved ones. We must make miracles for them, too.

Gotta figure out what the production/sales pipelines for making artbooks is so that i can have a form in which to dump all of my hypothetical story visdev and "pilot episode" pitch packets, bc lord knows i have too many of these things to ever actually fully develop individually lmao

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Hey guys! Drawing extreme angle moufs is the bane of my existence so i made a mouth model for CSP ^_^ see reply for links!

I need to do some blood work. Im sorry. I have to cover transportation [$40 round trip] and the copay for the labs themselves. Sadly, im not entirely sure on cost but im kinda bracing myself for the worst at this point.

If you needed another reason to admire Ursula K. Le Guin, her work routine carved out time to deal with correspondence, cleaning, cooking and being stupid, as well as nearly 5 hours’ writing.

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

Please continue to contact your representatives and urge them to: -oppose age verification laws -rescind existing AV laws -protect peoples rights to use VPNs -protect section 230

Did u know that you pay more for everything if you have an iPhone? If u can, drop the IOS bs and stop being over-charged for everything on and offline especially with the new push for dynamic pricing, and the blatant theft of profits from small creators regardless of the app or platform used.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

New pins! I've got a cute tiny Jerboa (just $5) and two gold 3d floras :) triclopsrabbit.com/collections/...
