Comic I made when I was in grade school

Just some random painting of queer Joy and tenderness for no reason other than visibility.

The Discord "teen by default" shit is insane. It feels so much like corporations want everyone to be in a state of arrested development. That we should all be children they can control. That we have to be sanitized and childlike. Hating this shit so bad. Please call your reps.

Greetings new Bluesky world!

A quiet day in my studio with few visitors. That leaves plenty of time to create. Monk visited. This is on handmade paper from Bhutan, coated in yellow ochre (a traditional Bhutanese colour). It’s ink. Roughly 45cm x 33cm #ink #handmade #art #ink #specialitypaper

Tried drawing him in the type of style in the 40s onwards Gottfredson strips and in the Disney Masters collections #mickeymouse

Commissioned work 🙇‍♀️

Some animation practice again, building on a warm-up drawing I liked

First marks of the month - 15/30 second gestures sketches:

Leona won't let her body get shamed.

Art by Gene Hazelton

A lot of the 2D animation purist stuff I've often seen online over the years, decades even, basically boils down to: "I want a 2D animated movie that's specifically like Disney/Bluth/early DreamWorks, so I can feel like I'm 8 years old in 2002 all over again."

Leona's like the Fat Slags from Viz, only more scaley and metal

Still forever jealous over whoever won the auction on the original storyboards for Catnapped! because I'd give anything to see them. So beautiful

URINE TROUBLE!

Four designs from a recently aired episode of Primal. Many more drawings from this episode are going up now on my Patreon page (StephenDeStefano911) for subscribers only.

Little question

I knew I had to sketch something real quick when I saw this reference photo.

Basima tells us how she copes at work.

Animation twitter is nothing but 15 year olds trying to one-up each other in how obnoxious and "ironic" they can be

Trying to get the hang of Toon Boom

Sketches from 2023 that I lined and colored just now of Madotsuki if she was a metroidvania protagonist (even though a fanmade Yume Nikki metroidvania already exists, it's called Houchou Shoujo Gensoukyoku, sometimes incorrectly called Yume Nikki Gensou, and it has a sequel) #yumenikki #madotsuki

I used to feel bad about staying up till 2am working on comics but now that I know about this jpeg of pissed cartoonist asuka I feel a lot better

Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

i need you to promise me something: never stop being kind. never stop pursuing the things that bring you joy. never stop being yourself. protect that light inside of you, even if it's only a flickering little flame right now. the world is cold and cruel and scary. we need you.

a little birdie told me betty boop is actually built like this

Head is finished! @danvariano.bsky.social

WIP; rude-ass catboys

I tend to draw a lot of shifty-eyed dudes when warming up for some reason.
