what fucks me up about the Bluesky TOS update is fucking every adult creator i know wants MORE labels and filter options. we WANT more granular control over the labels and spoilers we can put on our work so people who want to curate their timeline to avoid us CAN DO SO

HOW TO LET BSKY KNOW THEIR POLICY CHANGES HARM ARTISTS: A GUIDE FOR MOBILE USERS! 🧵 Sending feedback is SUPER easy, and takes just a few clicks! 1. Open the left tab menu, and click that "feedback" button 2. Put your concern in the box. I'll copy paste a script to use! (CONT.)

There is an aspect of animation that I haven't heard folks talk about, and that is bidding. Bidding is when clients have an idea they want animated so they shop around various studios and get their asking prices before making a decision. Here's the problem with that (a thread): (1/14)

If you're a fan of classic hand-drawn animation, Disney's Robin Hood, Don Bluth, or Redwall, we think you'll enjoy what we've got cooking! Want to try it for yourself? Now you can! War of the Western Deep now has a playable demo on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2976440/...

I've been fiddling with a drawing on the side and having to deal with such a height difference between characters is something. I'm having to give one of them a box to stand on to help the composition. 6'9" vs 5'0"...(though the taller one can be most heights she pleases, and the shorter is leaning)

Uh hey, a heads up: This is probably a good time to make sure that you go into settings on your profiles and make sure that "autoplay video" is turned off. Setting labels like 'violence' to "hide" or "don't show" is likewise a good idea if you don't want to see the TPUSA shooting by accident.

Comic creators: Don't use the Atlantic search tool, find a LibGen mirror. They are sketchy AF with popups so I won't link here, but I found the entirety of Paper Girls in multiple editions/languages.

Well that was top tier exhausting

Whoa, look at how beautiful these nudibranchs are! @schmidtocean.bsky.social 834 #uruguaysub200 #MarineLife

Huh, it's sure a busy day in the animation/art sphere. HELL YEAH!

UPDATE TIME!! dm voice are you sure you wanna do that? mnemosynexpowerhouse.thecomicseries.com/comics/37/

being gay and/or trans is so fucking cool and fun and yes, it is also difficult and challenging but primarily, it is so fucking awesome and they’ll do whatever they can to stop other people self-actualizing enough to figure out how sick it is

Hello everyone! I'm opening 2 commission slots to help me cover some recent bills, if interested please dm me or comment here. Thank you for your support!

I feel sick to my stomach making this post, but at this point I don't have a choice docs.google.com/document/d/1...

And some Sunday life drawing figures. It’s been a while since I last got some timed practice in

New sona drop

...

Pretty amused by the phone sketches I made for these. Looking back there’s a bunch of things I’d change or refine on the cleaned up drawings

it is my due diligence to once again remind you of my work hunt. i'm quite good at what i do and i have such anime figures to show you 📩 [email protected] 🌐 www.joshmckenzieart.com/storyboardin...

Whoa, fantastic snail! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 820 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife

Silly fridge doodles

This surprisingly relaxing footage is from SIX MILES under the ocean – and it’s the deepest ecosystem yet discovered

Dropped a little animation preview on YouTube, alongside some news-about-news. A big change. We'll fill in the details this fall! #Lackadaisy youtu.be/A84ert0cHwg

Next sewing project started. Just something small that follows a slightly altered pattern for shorts this time. I’m trying to myself clothes I know I’ll wear day-to-day. Also the fabric is really cute and feels really nice 🌸 (it was my first time ordering stuff offline and it was a good experience)

Carmen in pjs doodle. I would like to draw her yawn tighter at some point, it’s a good way to show off her boon

In the discussion of what is acceptable in art and writing, it's always interesting to me that there are a million sexuality-based restrictions, but they never mention regular degular violence. Can't have a boner, but I can cut the head off anyone with a sword and drink their blood

Also your support of indie animation NEEDS to go beyond Glitch and Spindle Horse. I love those guys but trust me, just search "animated pilot" on youtube and you'll see SO MUCH indie animation that has flown under the radar

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

Flying back from a family thing and red eye flights sure are something…

It a Carmen with her wonky tongue from a few days ago

I don't give a shit about the final product, I give a shit about the people making it. If you don't care about the people working next to you and under you, it shows, and you don't belong in my industry.

Toon Boom’s node view my beloved

Finally watched Sinners and oh gosh I get the hype. Everything was so solid

Somehow got laid off today for a part time job that I had for less than a month (apparently they had no work for me to do). So I'm pushing my commissions again, I'm usually always available to draw something for y'all 💚 Please spread the word and share with your friends: vgen.co/neuronari #vgen

Been a few years since my friend @bobokitty.bsky.social drew this of my ocs Todd and Janus, and their designs have changed here and there since then, but I still love this drawing

Prices will return to normal next Monday (June 30th)

Saw this post on tumblr and #makeaterriblecomicday2025 gave me an excuse to draw it out with my ocs

Visiting family and ya’ll look at this score of morels!!! (yes I know how to tell the difference between these and false morels. Obviously don’t pick mushrooms unless you know how to identify what you’re picking)

Finally opened up a kofi account so I'm doing discounted #chibi #commissions for the next week. Starting at 5 open slots, I may open more depending on how the week goes. I'm also doing blinking gif versions as an add-on. ko-fi.com/hobnobmoth/c...

No better day than today to discuss this, how our industry's treated black folks over the last decade is fucking shameful. Co-opted the image of their social movements, rug-pulled them with false promises of stability, exploited their vulnerabilities, then abandoned them. We gotta do better.

Fed up with Idaho, well I’ve been fed up for a while it’s just bubbling into a public post now. I no longer live in the state, but still visit family occasionally. It’s a place that, given little care or oversight and is always considered the butt of the joke, has been allowed to become a festering-
