Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

the Barbara Kruger mural the chase is happening in front of reads: "WHO IS BEYOND THE LAW? WHO IS BOUGHT AND SOLD? WHO IS FREE TO CHOOSE? WHO DOES THE TIME? WHO FOLLOWS ORDERS? WHO SALUTES LONGEST? WHO PRAYS LOUDEST? WHO DIES FIRST? WHO LAUGHS LAST?"

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

When you've been on social media for much of your life but are only just now reading Pratchett

get spun, doofus

They’re absolutely paid to lie, they’re paid to distribute free shirts and keychains and jackets, and they target low income areas specifically because there’s no other option there. It’s either military or burden your family or yourself with student loan debt because you what, want a career?

These things keep knocking me off edges in Dracula's castle.

holy fuck

My advice for having a nice bluesky experience: - follow *and boost* anybody who posts weird/interesting stuff. If your paths diverge you can mute them - interact with people in good faith and you'll often be met with the same (and gain followers) - post the kinds of things you want to see more of!

I was told by an ex Lucasarts designer I worked with at Telltale that Dash Rendar, the main character of Shadows of the Empire, got his name from the command the engineers used to update the scene: -render

well goddamn, this week's the week: Namco's chaotic gimmick-heavy versus action The Outfoxies is getting its first-ever home reissue via Arcade Archives tomorrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxTaxcJpD50 this is a massive get & one of the biggest requests by both fans & Hamster themselves

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Are you even an artist if you don't take reference photos of every gross thing you find in the woods?

I will die before I let these avaricious fuckers deskill me for profit.

Also, here's a glimpse at my rotoscoping process... #LUNARK #pixelart

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved. Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

Comics have been around a long time…

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

Got that Day 1 Demonschool! Been looking forward to this one.

LLMs destroy context. You used to be able to tell a crank website from a good source partly by its style. But now we have a tool that puts careful research, incoherent garbage, and intentional shitposting through a kind of grammatical instagram filter, presenting them all with the same credibility

Well shooooot this is nice. Maxico Mistico "Licor del Sobador". What a cool drawing! Tastes like a pleasant tea.

holy shit the pope was a blues brother

Mamdani! Neat! Good job NYC.

Fucking bring it. THIS IS WHY WE SAY RUN ACTUAL, HONEST SOCIALISTS. It's not fucking complicated. You can just walk over the billionaire machine if everyone just stops punching left for like five seconds.

Turns out you can just make stuff! Homemade airbrush cleaning solution. I had some glycerin on hand from making giant bubbles a couple weeks ago, I guess I need to just make sure I’ve got that in the kit going forward! #airbrush #artist

There's a line in the book the expanse where Bobbie draper looks at this intense like reed paneling on Jules Pierre Mao's spaceship and idly thinks about how hard it would be to clean and then realized that's the point.
