messing around with lights, camera, and action #blender #3danimation #2danimation

Just finished this, keeping it reeeeeeaaaallll sketchy so that I can just focus on the process thing I was trying to test. These past 3 were really helpful though, I think I've got some useful stuff

used another prospective character to test color and lighting processes, as well as animation folders (hard to see from the finished product, I should do some sort of BTS thing)

Made this to test 2d-3d interactions in #blender using #greasepencil iykyk

Right I should be posting art here huh

Oh maybe I should post my #animation stuff here huh?

Apropos.

This is genuinely great from Gessen if only because it takes something pretty basic about anti-trans politics (it's part of a broader reproductive regime akin to the eugenics of fascist cults) and explains it to an audience still convinced this has anything to do with fairness in women's sports

Gonna start posting more of my own thoughts and #animation work on here - starting, appropriately, with my reaction to recent goddamned developments:

Good stuff in here www.patheos.com/blogs/slackt...

"Perhaps out of fear of insulting their audiences, the pundits, journalists, and political consultants engaged in the lengthy post-mortem about Donald Trump's horrific victory Tuesday are avoiding the most obvious cause: ignorance." www.salon.com/2024/11/08/a...

Check on your New Yorker friends this evening. We’re doing fantastic. We are actually having a ball and everything is great

How do 1 million people evacuate anywhere in 24 hours? Especially when they have nowhere specifically to evacuate to?

The image of George Santos charging down the Capitol, followed by a swarm of journalists, while screaming "human scum" about a protestor who invaded his private space after Santos had swiped some unnamed baby really reflects the chaos energy on the GOP side of the aisle right now

a pair of baby shoes with a ton of wear and tear on em tells a pretty sad story too. what could this baby have been running from

Just remembered this classic headline

Right, I should be posting work in progress and not just keeping my head down until long-term projects drop... here's a set of thumbnails for a storyboard project I'm looking forward to

I know that this image is supposed to be Apple giving an example of how developers can integrate the upcoming watchOS into things like analyzing golf swing... ...but this just looks like it's an app that helps you work on your jerk off technique.

My child and I were supposed to go to Nashville this weekend and film part of a documentary about all the bills attacking trans rights this year, and then I found out it was backed by this far right psycho and it was actually an anti-trans film and I have to say that was a major lesson learned. 

Republicans are mostly closing ranks behind Trump. Again. Are they choosing “partisanship over country”? This framing actually underestimates how deep the rift is that defines the political conflict: Rightwingers have decided that they *are* the country, everyone else is an enemy. 1/

I first tweeted this out almost a year ago and it’s unreal how often I’ve been able to reuse it #trumpindictment #lfg

from shouting down school board meetings to harassing Target employees, an essential competent of the modern conservative movement is making themselves completely intolerable to be around

I am not branding myself as a Neil C animator but I HAVE made two music videos of his songs and I AM planning on at least two more: https://youtu.be/ZdOanp99yZA

Oh right, I might as well put up things I've done that people seemed to like. So here's an animated music video for the opening to Neil Cicierega's incredible Mouth Dreams album: https://youtu.be/kIlzPDvTvzA
