The xerox era of Disney made me fall in love with the craft of animation because my child brain could comprehend the dozens of penstrokes made by absolute masters. People dunk on the look cause you can pick out the artist's hand but I think it's fucking beautiful. We've sanded down art too much.

I blame Charles Dickens for leading us to believe that a rich man can be convinced to be a good person, take care of his workers, and pay for healthcare for the poor and dying.

This has gotta be one of the best improv cockblocks of all time. My girl Marie knows people who say "yes and" and they're all cowards.

Dragon Quest 1 (the Non-HD versions) is so funny when you realize it's a sequel to a mystery game and not an RPG. It's a game about questioning NPCs and solving puzzles Folks of my generation used to kvetch about "talking to every NPC" but that comes from this where the NPCs are the core gameplay

My professional artists peers! We got a survey request! Researchers at the University of Carnegie Mellon is doing a research to see how generative Al has (or has not) impacted your work and/or sentiments in the industry. Folks in creative fields only, please consider filling this out 👇

I picked up a physical copy earlier this year and was just smitten by the quality of the book, pages, etc. It feels like it reads, and it reads like Oregon Trail by way of Ghibli. Just a really pleasant TTRPG book to read through.

It's impressive that Charlie Brown Christmas has such a shoestring budget and such sparse animation but still works and is timelessly charming. It really doesn't need anything flashy (it would miss the point). Its just very economical in how it gets away with the bare minimum drawings.

Mega Man told people to pick up a pen that’s my fucking GOAT

Sometimes I think about the fact that 50 Shades of Grey was apparently someone's repurposed Twilight fan fiction that they made millions of dollars off of. As long as it ain't hurtin' nobody, put your stupid shit out in the world and if anybody tells you no do it anyway.

Dodo indeed.

I've done tons of technical illustrations for scientists and engineers and if they're too proud to bust out a napkin or dry erase, they'll diagram it out in PowerPoint. It's just faster than explaining it. Artists love doing redraws and if your foundational idea is good they'll elevate it.

"but what if they can't draw" here's hideo kojima making level blockouts for metal gear solid 1 and 2 with LEGO I am begging AI bros to use their brains for two seconds

My favorite truck in the citadel

Sometimes I think about how there will never be a more perfect game commercial youtu.be/AqVhhmb9CGE

WHAT DID THEY DO TO US

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

People speedran calling everything we upload "Content" and it left a void for slop to be labeled "Art".

Let go the D-pad.

What do you mean they made a Baroque shmup wtf this is made for like eight people and I'm two of them

Being the only artist on a team of engineers and and scientists is hard because ostensibly I like all the same nerdy shit as them but then we'll be talking about measuring snow and I'll say someone used a ruler and the table will stop and interrogate me because wtf a ruler you wouldn't use a ruler

Long John Baldry should get a posthumous Oscar for PINGAS

I'm not reading that WSJ article about parents whose kids won't come home for Christmas but credit for the photographer and editor for picking the most "Reason #1 not to go home" photo for the featured image

Blue checks carrying the mantle of still being the worst accounts.

"bullying big game companies for burning a gallon of water to generate lorem ipsum isn't a good use of time" no actually it's a great if not morally correct use of time you fucking idiot.

larians recruitment process features prominently in this:

Do you want to control how and where you post your comic? How about avoiding censorship on platforms? Consider backing Comix Cleric! The team is whipping up something webcomickers have been missing for many years- an accessible way to host your webomics!

Disney needs an ironic take on everything because a fairy tale played straight is dumb or cringe or whatever. Maleficent can't just be a mommy devil she has to be an SA victim. ✌️Lore✌️is best left in the margins or the underdrawing of a painting. You can vaguely see its form but it's intangible.

I went ahead and supported this because I used to have a website that ran on WordPress(ComicPress) and I hated it... This sounds like a good alternative. I hope that I can run my future website with this...

Years ago I remember watching a thing where movie composers were given temp tracks (usually tracks from other movies) and told just to emulate them, and how the practice has led to every movie kinda sounding the same GenAI can't invent the next trend or fanart obsession. It's too derivative

Audition tutorial: "do this to make the audio sound better!" [Three minutes of fiddling with knobs] [it sounds the same just louder] "huge difference!"

Morgan, waking up at midnight: I should empty this whole tube of diaper cream on my hands. And clothes. And hair. And books. And hair. And hair. This is a very good idea to have I am so smart.

As part of our project to preserve the history of Sega Channel, we have recovered OVER 100 new Sega Channel ROMs, including the legendary lost game Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels. Read more: gamehistory.org/segachannel/

Surprise, we preserved Sega Channel Like all of Sega Channel

If you send me a rejection letter after weeks of me following up over phone/email, and three months of radio silence, after three different interviews, I should be allowed to fire you.

At a bookstore yesterday for Christmas shopping and I really need Mo to hurry up and grow brain cells because there are so many good kid's comics right now. I never veered into the children's section before (I assumed all the stocked comics were grouped together) and I wish I had these growing up.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

Dad, over dinner: so I beat Resident Evil 5 Me: what'd you think? Dad: I liked RE4 better Me: why's that? Dad, stopping to gather his thoughts: it didn't have STRANGUH. Me: Yea Dad: HEY STRANGUH. WHAT'S UP STRANGUH. I liked STRANGUH. No STRANGUH in RE5. Mom: wtf is you two talking about

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

There's a throwaway shot in Home Alone when Kevin is running from the cop and the camera shows him running across an overpass as a train goes by, and every time I think he's going to hop the train to get away.

Remember when Sifu was nominated for best fighting game and the award went to the Multiversus beta, a game that went on to die an embarrassing death?

I really wanna see how they made Dragon Quest 1&2 into sequels to 3 but $60 seems steep...

What if the Street Fighter movie ends with a Nick Fury stinger
