I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Iris but we can acknowledge her flaws (she has none) and we can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she has never done anything wrong in her life) and call her out on her actions (which are always correct)

Yeah, I could even understand that it's a commission they have to pay, but this kind of public support for a guy who clearly doesn't regret anything is a weird move.
But hey, they made X-ers very happy, so maybe they are their main target!

Apparently Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Tintin) quietly closed down months ago but didn't announce it. Another fallen soldier.

Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Blacksad: Under the Skin) aurait définitivement fermé en mars 2025.

Le studio espagnol avait licencié la moitié de ses effectifs en mars 2024 après la sortie compliquée du Tintin Reporter : Les Cigares du Pharaon pour Microids.
