This fucking sucks. Not playing that. 🙏

Some heartbreaking animation news today from people who have been some of my animation heroes. It’s up to us to hold the line and build a better future for animation.

Ahahahahahah. Well done, Subnautica devs. (get rekt Krafton) www.ign.com/articles/sub...

‘Amphibia’ creator Matt Braly speaks out against the use of AI in animation: “If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain’t worth it.”

Backrooms movie was really well done but holy shit there was absolutely no cinema etiquette. People had their dogs out, phones recording/texting, talking, pretty sure someone was vaping at the back. I have never experienced this bad a group before. Youre paying 25 bucks for an experience wtf man

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

people say this guy is trolling, and that might well be an option, but also have you considered that this is basically the audience of all the animation to life action remakes, and it is not small-

PSA for YouTube Creators! Just wanna share this in case you don't want Google to have access to remix your YouTube shorts with GenAI using Gemini! YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED. Here is what it's doing and how to opt out of said option if you don't want your shorts to be remixed with AI.

Writing a show with an archaeopteryx as the main character really opened my eyes to the fact that its an obscure creature that not many people know. I thought more people would at least have heard the name ToT Guess thats what beinf a dino nerd entails lol

Im sad now

TODAY I googled a storyboard pro question, and the hideous Google AI made up an answer by sourcing reddit/youtube/toonboom links speaking about HARMONY, but the AI replaced all mentions of "harmony" from the sources with "storyboard pro" I hate it here!! I want direct access to do my OWN research!

Here’s a cleaner Wildwood promo pic, without all the text on it. It really gives you a sense of what the Landscapes department did. We hand made every asset you see here.

Mama and baby dragon

So close to being free...

This team's ready to save the world! ... They ARE gonna save it, right?

This is a feel good image for me. These two adorable young Australian superb fairywren staying close to each other.

Istg these food delivery ebike users need to start using their bells to warn pedestrians theyre coming from behind. Ive nearly been taken out ao many times by them. Theyre not even allowed on footpaths but they still do!! Least they could do is give a warning >.>

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: https://scim.ag/42dMPBg

Haha hey you should give money to the Monkey Wrench Patreon haha imagine more Monkey Wrench that would be cool haha hoohoo hehe :)

Late night at the art studio

This, but for education, too!

if you're a gamedev and you stumble upon a project that's very close to what you're doing, don't think "oh no, a rival", think "oh yes, a sister project" both have a lot to gain from being friends, helping each other and sharing the followers you gathered individually

I added a new shader to my portal asset. Now you can use a texture combined with a mask texture to create more cool portals! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #godotengine #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

Art will make your big brain big big bigger

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

The Digital Circus finale was made with TheAmazingAthiest fans in mind as the target audience.

Why use placeholder AI when you can use your own concept arts as loading screens? Looks a billion times better. 🎨: @winty.art #GameDev #3D #UnrealEngine

Hard same

Its crazy how you can get motivation spontaneously but its at work and by the time you finish you just want to sleep ToT

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️💚✨ I'm Mire, or Rav, trans non-binary who's slowly still figuring it all out! I draw lots of creatures, and I dream of seeing them in lots of games one day. #TransDayOfVisibility #TVOD

Aww man yesterday was international ace day. Had no idea that existed Anywho yay to us! Wish i knew more ace people in my everyday life :') 💜🖤🩶🤍

Lackadaisy - "Last Call" won an Ursa Major award for dramatic short! ursamajorawards.org/UMA_2025.htm Credit to @thequeencryptid.bsky.social and @bryanteohmusic.bsky.social for the music, @fablepaint.bsky.social and the team of artists who worked on it, and @glitchprod.com of course. Thank you!!

Look forward to this vid every year.

In the current gamedev environment where teams and project scope need to be smaller, I hope they don't do the toxic overoptimistic thing again where they ask for generalists. I've been a one person art department before and it sucked not getting the support I needed while someone blew 60k on FONTS.

seeing more and more movie reviews saying "this film is worse than AI" making me have to tap the sign again:

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

Hoppers was really fun and wholesome! I liked that it was a hopeful and optimistic film

Comm for @chalur.com

to all my blueskiers who DONT use twitter anymore, the games lead engineer since 2017 got officially laid off as of this. this is such bullshittery from epic, especially since theyre pouring their money into UEFN, 3x creator payouts at the start of the season, and WAY too many collab rights.

New #digitalcircus reel incoming!

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.
