why does this look like a fucking funko pop im sobbing

This is definitely what a normal walk cycle looks like

Maybe he's so obsessed with Greenland because he thinks he's playing Plague Inc Evolved

Why is one entitled to cost money though and not the other? Both are extreme time and money investments, both promise quality, and both have massive audiences excited to watch/play them. Yet only one is able to recoup the cost to create it.

It’s really interesting noting how different the public views indie animation compared to indie games. With indie animation, there’s almost this expectation that it should be free. It’s released on YouTube, and it’s just free for everyone to watch. And honestly, it’s wonderful that it’s free.

coloured it because it's what Sof deserves 😘💞 #Futurama #Gundam0079

This is probably the only time I'll be sharing this - but this is why I have been looking into alternatives to drawing so much as of late. Stabilizers in digital programs help a LOT, but I have a feeling this is only going to get worse as time passes.

Episode 1 will resume uploading. Only about 20 pages left anyway. After that, it's over. The plans I had were simply too ambitious, especially with my current situation and ongoing health issues. I am working on something new, will post wips occasionally. Already have been. Keep your eyes peeled!

Episode 2's comic is halfway finished. It will remain unfinished and be posted in this state exclusively for Patrons (pledges are still on hold, basically at the moment it's a €3 one-time fee to access all previous content - no plans to turn monthly pledges back on for now).

I've finally made a decision in regards to the comic. It's finally being put to rest. I may return to it again in the future, but a one-year break was certainly too short, and turning 22-minute episodes into 100-page comics just isn't going to work.

Anyway folks open your eyes and look around there's SO MUCH MORE to indie animation than just Spindlehorse, Glitch and Lackadaisy, you just need to look for it ✨️❤️✨️

Free or cheaper equipment and programs are often just as good as "the industry standard", esp for portfolio and learning purposes. "Industry standard" usually only means said program or tool was one of the first to become widely used & this industry can be a dinosaur when it comes to adapting

I know I'm Swedish living in Sweden! It really sucks that it comes to this, but sadly I can understand how they feel.

In that case, not all indie animation's American! 💖 The creator of @ghostfriends.bsky.social is Mexican (living in Canada), @elementusseries.bsky.social is British, @swiftspark.bsky.social (me) is Dutch! There's many more non-US creators. Maybe they'd like to drop themselves in the comments ❤️

Next character model! Just gotta rig & animate him and then James has got a friend

Don't make something with the intention of getting rich and famous or having mass appeal. Create something that appeals to you specifically and you'll have a lot more fun with it. And if other people like it, that's a bonus.

Folks, a website is not the same thing as a town you live in or an ancestral piece of land you fight for because it's yours. A site is a service. You don't keep eating at a restaurant that gives you the runs or shop at a store who rung up false charges on your credit card. Same principal with X

I was hoping to get a Rayman 3 lenticular cover bc I grew up with that one (my brother's copy). Got the platinum version 😔. But at the same time I got this, which I didn't even know existed? It's shiny I love it ✨️✨️

Fun fact, the only Sonic game I never got past the first level of was Boom Shattered Crystal. I came in expecting Fast Boi Go Brrr, but mfs had me doing puzzles in the first minute of the game. It was the demo, never bothered to look at Fire & Ice because I disliked the SC demo so much.

At least bsky is still suspending internet trolls.

What is ghost friends? This should explain it youtu.be/TR6kLTmSNzg?...

Midnight Menagerie has updated! Romero isn't back yet. Well, that's odd. #webcomic #comics #horror #vampire #vampireenjoyers #lgbtq bwillettcomics.com/midnightmena...

Idc if they're still in NATO. The US government is no longer our ally. It's him against the world.

OH MY GOD the book I wrote and published with an epub publisher at age TWELVE sold a copy in 2025 😂 18 copies in 12.5 years... 🤣 Fun fact, it's about Bella and her dancing career

I had hopes of having a freelance gig for a real studio this year but then I read a post about how the latest grifter trend has been information farming I really hope I'm wrong bc this company has worked on multimillion dollar projects... but then again, why would they reach out to ME of all people
