The camera operator was overtaken by something #NJPW

Ladies, what’s stopping you from looking like this?

1984 readers when Big Brother ended up being a reality show format and not a totalitarian super government

I found it! The algorithm brought it back to me

Earlier today a non artist tried to kindly suggest I use AI in my upcoming animation. Of course I explained how I wouldn’t dare do that bc yknow the moral reasons and stuff, but my OCD brain also gave me a vision of the alt timeline where that does happen and you all burned me at the stake, so yeah

This next animation may just be my biggest endeavor yet. I feel something, but I don't think it's fear. I'm actually...confident. I'm confident this will come to fruition. And I don't think I've felt that way in a long time.

hey did you sign up for your library's summer reading program yet

my steak is too juicy. there's too many good voice actors to choose from 😖

For games especially, being anti-AI absolutists matters. Barks, "placeholder art," wherever they think they can get away with has to be treated like rat feces in food. Some coders will keep using it until the pricing adjusts and no one will disclose, but "slop doesn't sell" is the only way forward.

Sometimes when I pay $3 for the bus, I remember the time Mamdani pretty rapidly saved that Columbia student from ICE and I don't feel bad anymore

Calling it: He's going to have like 3 things left undone on his to-do list at the end of his term and the press is going absolutely crucify him for it while ignoring the hundreds of things he accomplished and billions of dollars saved 🤷‍♀️

Also the reason this 5 week tantrum has been going on is uhhhh fans not getting to watch something early, but 48 hour turnaround on full tilt scab AI turncoat shit? Nah dog. Fuckin log off and stop acting like this.

Hey, friends - if you're on IG, could you share/like this post? Just trying to beat the algo and get it seen over there! Thank you!!! www.instagram.com/p/DY8WiMukRD9/

genuinely terrified

Using AI to generate images IS NOT real art. Pass it on.

I'm a moron who buys and downloades brushes like a hoarder and then still only uses one brush for inking (that I made) and another for penciling lmao

New monthly newsletter, I can't believe I still like cartoons buttondown.com/marlenesanto...

How I make over six figures a month

New comic on Patreon. It’s an emotional one. No paywall, just follow the link below. #comic #comiccoop #artist

You have to wonder how many more mental gymnatics people will do to justify using the unethical tech. It's unbelievable. I will not forget any of this in the next years.

Please don’t take my post as a “so you must hate waffles.” Fully take this at face value without extra context: As a Dominican I find it pretty funny that specifically all the Rooster Fighter promotional posts have a Spanish translation

Good work again from @obviousplant.bsky.social

Okay so after figuring out a voice cast, I plan to start looking for someone to do music for my upcoming animation. In the meanwhile though, I'm writing down some songs to use as inspiration for certain beats. I'm unsure if I should tone it down on the Sonic soundtracks

I need to take a breather. This harassment training at work used the word “latinx”

So a lot of indie journalists bring their expertise, best practices and credibility over from the traditional media. What happens in a few years when theres no traditional credentials? I’ve come to trust some pure indies like Ed Zitron and a few others but is that good for the future?

Me when I'm going in Blender Edit mode and I have to recall information I haven't heard of since middle school geometry

On the tube

people who draw comics should be given a small stipend by the government. A modest 250,000 per year should do it

Okay I got rid of the demo reel requirement but at least some kind of example of your voice would be MUCH appreciated. Also I put the thing on Casting Call Club cuz a friend recommended I do that www.castingcall.club/projects/upc...

I also think though that being kind is overlooked. be kind to your (both prospective and current) colleagues. don't look at them as competition. support their wins and console their losses. those are the people who will lift you up and catch you if you fall

I was literally thinking yesterday that the only actual thing Nintendo does worse than everyone else is NOT release their games on PC….

some projects you gotta leave notes for your future self

Getting an indie game to 500 reviews is the funniest prank you can pull on a game dev, it gets them every time

⭐OPEN CALL FOR VOICE ACTORS | POC PREFERRED⭐ This is PAID but also I’m paying for this out of pocket so please be mindful DEMO REELS ARE REQUIRED. And don't fret if you don't get picked because I'll still hold onto your info for future reference forms.gle/MuawRXfTrKDg...

hey just got laid off, who needs a remote game designer

blender is so freaking easy

They get rid of VAs that don’t consent btw

Anyone know a good place to search for voice actor demo reels? Preferably a platform where I can search by stuff like accent and gender?

as a follow up: i had a lawyer talk with another lawyer and are getting these ads using my art taken down and damages paid. it ain’t a lot but i hope it’s enough to make a point. update the wiki!!!!!!

Have you seen these gorgeous pages from: @connormakescomics.bsky.social @soengery.bsky.social @planetsmudge.bsky.social w/ words by me and letters by @beccasee.bsky.social Ruffian Meat a horror comic anthology is funding right now on Kickstarter with just 9 days to go: kck.st/4voxGu4 👆☝️👆☝️

I think this is a great way to support working artists. My day job is in manga and my night job is in direct market comics, and I love reading indie comics. Full-spectrum comics. Cartoonists United is a vital effort, and sponsoring these awards puts money in the hands of cartoonists. Well worth it.

Why did Spirit Airlines have to die?

iOS Liquid Glass feels like it’s trying to be Frutiger Aero but keeps missing the point

Just randomly thinking: if someone ever dug through my internet posting history and found something controversial that I even forgot saying, I don’t think I would be scared of being cancelled; I would just be really confused. Cuz that’s not me! Every 5 years or so I’m basically a different person
