a friend just messaged me on steam and hearing the bloo-bleep ping sent me careening 15 years back ratatouille food critic-style i can't believe how much of my everyday online socialization used to take place on there. there were breakups. steam dm breakups

forgot the word trinity for a moment and had to google "jesus triforce"

Also something that not many sais online but happens a lot: Being popular on Twitter attract you: Stalkers People who screen anything you post People stealing your work (artists) make money off in your back Easy target for hate And so on! A huge reach is not always positive. Just remember that.

I remember when someone mentioned how bad the like-to-reblog ratio on tumblr is, and ever since I haven't been able to look at notes the same way. holy shit

Why are all of them doing that one speed-laughing GIF? #dandy'sworld #dandysworld

Something can be beautifull when there is intent and an artistic aesthetic in mind. But when all you see is "let's just not animate this to save up cost" well, it ends up looking cheap.

I get your pain. When I watch anime on the tv my father always comments on how the animation is worse than western animation because the characters are sometimes not being animated (as in still shots, characters in crowd shots, etc).

Amateurs and fans don't understand how empty "smooth" is as a compliment, either. I also don't think animators, educators, and animation influencers do a good job of explaining timing and spacing in a way that doesn't sound like an advertisement for a GPU, so I'm not surprised by "smooth good"

Most people don't know the craft enough to make a proper judgement... Some animations are intended to work with lower fps... That's why is so uncanny when I see those "60 fps anime openings" reuploads... I don't know if we can do much about it other than just keep doing animations 😛💪

Satoshi Kon understood this

Wes Anderson has literally said he likes stop-motion because one is constantly aware that it is animated and eveyone calls him a genius.

It always bothered me when people said they didn’t watch Archer because “the animation was bad”. Here I’m thinking their seemingly limited approach actually punctuated the acting. People are missing out on a lot of great stories when the deciding factor is how “fluid the animation is”

Huuuuuuge agree. It irks me. Smooth animation is *difficult*; that doesn't mean it's the pinnacle of the form, let alone the mark for what's good. All rivers have different flows, different patterns, different creeks.

I really don't understand modern media's obsession with fidelity. There's no right or wrong way to do art, but chasing realistic feels like avoiding the whole reason we were after art in the first place

Animation fan standards are awful and have inconsistent goal posts.

It was an absolute treat to draw Silkshade for @louixie.bsky.social ⭐️ any fleshed out character just makes the poses come easy, happy with the attitude in this one!

Not gonna be as thorough when it comes to posting older art here on bluesky but I still at least want to post some of the ponysona stuff I like, here's an assortment of sketches of her<3 #mlp #ponysona #mylittlepony #mlpoc #ocsketch #sketchpage

actually talked with my therapist about this yesterday! especially for creatives, there's that constant pressure that you're not doing enough. You did x amount of thing today, well these 5 random people did way more than you, so now your hard work feels like not enough

Moderation, portion control. Comparison for realistic growth or inspiration, good. Appreciating others work and skills, good. Overwhelming oneself into inaction, bad.

That’s why I learned to stop comparing myself to others and instead find joy in our shared passions for creation. Envy is a sin, after all.

Same! Trying to make art “the right way” freaks me out and then I don’t draw anything Talking with friends, meeting people at cons, and spending time with longform art and nature recharge my batteries, then I do wonders! :)

I hate people who treat politics like it's black and white. Like bitch stfu it's never that simple

designs that Ive sorta warmed up to

Ive noticed a pattern with my posts recently

Rainy Night #polandball #art #polandballart #countryball

I posted this on a subreddit to criticise how I often see fanart of female robot characters being drawn with soft skin-like bodies when they canonically are mostly made out of hard metal and it got like 5k upvotes😭 Was I in the right place and time, or are people just horny?

its really just because I want to and because rounder body types come off as friendly, and my account is all about cute stuff.

I really like designing characters

they are a lovely pair of partners who work mostly from home focusing on taking care of their kids. They're sort of reliant on eachother to function...
