I'm still in awe at how great this shot works.

i think i’m definitely scared to ask for help when it comes to me art business stuff.. im just not sure what the best avenues are to grow plus day job kinda exhausts me but i should have more free time with the hours getting cut lol.. it’s tough that everyone has to be a self starter now

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

"¡Grita con el alma!", a new cinematic by CRCR & WIZZ (France) for Valorant (Masters Santiago 2026 tournament). Full video >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIvv...

As important as your passion project may be to you, don’t pull all nighters on it. Don’t hurt yourself in the long-term just to get your art out sooner.

shares greatly appreciated!! i really need the money since my hours have been cut 😭

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

More anime studios need do this. No more crunching out an episode hours before it airs.

While I work through my queue, I will rely solely on tips, so anything you can send will be super helpful since I already burnt through my savings ;w; Please don't feel obligated to tip! ko-fi.com/ralkaras

I believe Kpop:Demon Hunters won 10 Annies. Congrats to the whole team. Well deserved and hope this pushes out more original films💕

Everything. Shit society we got.

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

the video game industry is a mess

Some Zoeys I did last weekend Cuz like...valentines or something

I'm going to try to finance the tablet this weekend while it's still on sale (I think for LNY) so any contributions will help that a lot!! Then I'll reset the goal just for a micro PC, and after that hopefully I'll have a "move out of the US fast and still work" kit good to go!

Maybe I’m saying it too early, but Demon Tides is already my favorite game of the year so far, might even be GOTY worthy. Go play this game!!

My part-time job cut down my already-short hours even more (I worked only 11 hours this week!!!) so any support is always appreciated!! ❤️

Yes. Good.

Can I speak on something? I understand with the current state of animation people are looking to get things up and running, I get that but what I don’t like is you sending me emails asking me if I want to work on something for free or for exposure. That shit is a slap in the face.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Hey, friends! @ziibiing.com and the awesome folks at StandWithMinnesota have launched #keepMNhoused! Check out keepMNhoused.com and kick in to help folks affected by ICE stay in their homes! ALSO, artists, please join the call for art to help spread the word! (art here by the great @trungles.com)

I'm doing covers for this series :)
