last thing i'll say about this for now is that you're absolutely allowed to dislike the direction a show is headed, or feel that a character you like was snubbed by the narrative. you're allowed to have those feelings, and criticism isn't bad - it's how you go about giving it that counts

It’s #IndieAnimationDay! Staving off the animation industry crash, I’m focusing my creative energies in 2026 into making a new short film. It’s called “The Twig Gatherer” about a little bird just trying to make a home. Ramping up a crowdfund early next year to hire folks to help me make it.

If indie animation is gonna have any viability, I must stress that it is important to have a good producer to figure out the money and manage the production team. I will keep banging this drum because it isnt enough to have skilled artists or writers without someone who can manage resources.

Empathy is an act of both intelligence and imagination, so I've found those that reject any nudging toward it have neither

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

I'm not a historian but my analysis is it's "Not good" when a government constantly commits crimes and tells the legislature, courts, and general public "What are you gonna do about it"

Good reminder to do this again because I just found hundreds of folks I followed on twitter that have gotten bsky accounts in the time since I last did this. Also folks please, please update your bio to say who you are and what you do here.

The way Jess immediately zeroed in on this guy’s body language and personality off nothing but a single generic image of him when it dropped

I drew PENDLETON hehehe he's so cute 🐍 #hazbinhotel #artpost

This trend might be the funniest thing BlueSky could have done to counter the lacking whimsy accusations

If you switch to bsky it will be vitally important to not use the Discover feed and instead pin this one

More background sinners and winners I designed for Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Ep 7 - 8.

Not only did I storyboard Vox Populi, I animated this fun shot, too! Everything is hand drawn from scratch, no 3D elements were used. Lots and lots of arcs (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) #hazbinhotel

Playing Little Nightmares 3. I had the feeling the opening section was going on for ages and was wondering why they needed me to experience the same open vent/push button/pull open boarded up door mechanics so many times. Turns out I’m actually 25% of the way through the game 😕

Knights of Guinevere is beautiful, scary, thought-provoking and has something to say, which is something all great animation can and should be, especially now. A great watch! The team should be proud, and I hope there's more coming.

The careful drip feed promotion around the release of KoG has been so brilliant. There’s something beautiful about how effective setting up a mysterious new website with a context-free countdown clock unannounced still is

"I need to be good at art to make art therefore I require the image generator" you fool. you utter embarrassment. go make something out of paper clips coward

Happy Birthday @littlemisschii.bsky.social 💖💫

just watched this morning and it was super informative about not only the current issue, but what has been going on for years

I am a mostly 100% SFW creator and I keep my socials that way too, but I will happily stand by NSFW artists, sex workers, adult creators, and general Horny Freaks (pos) before I ever respect a word out of any puritanical, pro-censorship, "think of the children" ass ghouls mouth.

I may be a SFW artist, but I support the freedom of artist expression among my peers who create otherwise. And I know full well the purging of adult content is the canary in the coal mine.

this character was made in a fucking lab scientifically to destroy me holy shit lmao, what the hell is going on I am about to be FUCKING INSUFFERABLE. prepare for it #hazbinhotel www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nYc...

SO EXCITED FOR THE HELLAVERSE NEWS!! CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO SEE ALL THE THINGS WE'RE BEEN WORKING ON!! 💙💙💙

Some of my favorite storyboard panels from @vivziepop.bsky.social ‘s Helluva Boss “Mission: Chupacabras” short! Watch it on youtube and live deliciously 🐐😈🔥

it would be easier to take seriously the posts about how "fandom is just getting worse these days what happened to fandom etiquette" if they would talk about the increasingly rampant and violent racism instead of pretending that ship wars are brand new lmao

ねこのあくび #huskerdust

Completed Outer Wilds yesterday. I bought it last year, approached with a totally wrong mindset, got frustrated and left, before returning to it again last month But looping back might have been the most poignant way to finally GET it & wow I might be thinking about this game for the rest of my life

Something of an 'oldie' at this point, but here's an illustration of Barbie checking into rehab that I did for the Unhappy Campers ep of #HelluvaBoss It ended up pretty tiny on Blitz's phone screen, so enjoy the close up (Barbie probably didn't!)

animation is expensive and takes a long time. a lot of fans have no idea why-- why it takes so long, what happens in it, why it needs SO much money to do, and these shorts are going to explain all of that, so people have a better idea of how the sausage is made

Sending love to trans brits today. It's a difficult day but try not to loose hope. Trans rights ARE human rights and a bunch of ignorant people in a dimly lit room are never going to change that💗

These antagonist designs for Donkey Kong Bananza are so good damn good. Also, who is this DIVA?! She’s taking it!

The Ghibli thing is particularly egregious because the reason you love Miyazaki movies is that they’re unabashedly human. He admits to not even knowing what it all means, he is just putting thoughts and feelings of the human experience on the screen and letting people relate.

Kids hand wringing over age gap relationships between fully adult fictional characters is so funny at the best of times but applying it to a fictional afterlife setting is even funnier. I really need to need to know what they’re suggesting these arbitrary rules for Dating When Dead are

I love that there’s no algorithm making tons of posts from the people I actually follow disappear here, I just wish the discover tab had a better one. It’s the only thing I’m still occasionally going back to twitter for. BlueSky needs to get better at sending more specific relevant things our way

Spring coming always makes me think of Animal Crossing so here's some opossum and capybara villagers I designed a ways back. Just felt like they were species that would fit right in with that cosy crossing life

Please don't call her girlfriend the Anti-Christ 👿 #hazbinhotel #hazbinhotelfanart

Huge congrats to Kiana for the success of Pretty Pretty Please I Don’t Want To Be A Magical Girl. So fun and subversive! Looking forward to what comes next (seriously I need more of Lady DeVoid 🙏🏼)

Shrek 5 unironically turning out to be a great vibe barometer for bluesky against twitter because I have seen exactly zero posts on bluesky suggesting we could all harass the creative team into changing the designs a la Sonic

It’s ok if people hate overly hated female characters because I love them more than they could ever hate them even with all of their hatred combined

I finished #DragonAge Veilguard! 100%ed that mf. My very spicy opinion on it is that it was extremely fun and I liked all the characters a lot. I may have fallen a bit in love with my own Rook along the way, I mean please LOOK at her

A Rosie print I did for the lovely Leslie Kritzer last year. Available signed in her Streamily store! 🥩♥️ #HazbinHotel

Whitewashing in fandom spaces is a discussion that doesn’t happen anywhere near enough in gen, but the very specific resistance there is towards acknowledging and depicting characters as black is its own particularly ugly thing and people in fandoms still love refusing to look directly at that one

He wants you to pick one 🪄 #HazbinHotel

Very close to giving up twitter altogether. Feels like every week the landscape gets more post apocalyptic there. Just overrun by vulgar engagement farming and bot accounts and the few actual people still left in this wasteland quote retweeting and arguing with them. It’s fucking bleak

I think its fine to have art content you dont enjoy, approve of or want to see, and establishing a personal boundary is healthy But as anti-porn and anti-art fascism continues to ramp up i think you need to weigh how publicly calling people freaks, degens, weirdos etc is feeding these attitudes

My reward for making it through 2024 was to be struck down with a mysterious not-covid flu thing, so I slept through the New Year’s countdown. Thanks to everyone who sent midnight well wishes anyways, and happy new year right back at all my best gremlins 💜

so they released some teaser art for the upcoming #hazbinhotel season and I kinda went a bit crazy, sorry they kinda came for my throat directly with this new one, I'm not strong enough. I had to drop everything. I'll just post them all, I have no shame #artpost

A little something I scribbled after ep6 of Helluva Boss dropped. Don't worry, Fizz did get all of his puppies back... eventually! #HelluvaBoss

Wish I had time to draw more #Arcane fanart but here's an oldie that feels poignant having finished season 2

Thinking how resilient creatives are these days. been really tough staying focused and inspired to create, when it feels like everyone thinks our jobs are going obsolete. How many times has art endured centuries of struggle yet here we are. Cheers to us who still paint on Sundays, despite it all 💖🥂
