Ahh, with a bunch of new people following me recently, lemme introduce myself:
Hi, I'm Aaron, technical animator at @unseentokyo.bsky.social !

I also have a little hobby project, which is to create unofficial docs for UEs AnimNodes:

Technical Animation is a tricky, but maybe I can be of help.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

Finally wrapped up the rest of the squad.
Stripped the 5 I had painted a year ago and re-did them alongside the new models to have the full squad on the same level of quality

"once upon a time, there was a princess"

fanart of the android Guinevere, from the Knights of Guinevere animated serie
she's sitting, left arm resting on her right knee, parts of her body showing the metal underneath, half of her face ripped off while the other is just the face of a gorgeous woman
lots of cables and wires coming out of her - also blue intestines falling off her belly

Happy one year anniversary to this banger tweet that got so ridiculously blown out of proportion that it got us 70k wishlists in like a day

screenshot of a twitter exchange, dated Sept 23 2024:

@MaliceDaFirenze: We're making a game where you play a courier rier in 13th century Mongolia. No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness. Would you play this? (10k replies, 11k reposts, 131k likes)

@doodlewhale: I would love to, as long as it can avoid woke DEI nonsense which appears unlikely as you have pronouns in your bio (shrug emoji) (337 replies, 124 reposts, 10k likes)

@MaliceDaFirenze: For every comment like this, I will add one extra pronoun to the game. (2k replies, 700 reposts, 19k likes)

Almost ago 1 year ago I started getting into #Warhammer40k and painted my first Infernus Marine.
And now, one year later, I have finished painting a new Sergeant for my Infernus Squad.
Really proud of the jump in quality

My first ever Infernus Marine Mini I painted in September 2024

My newest Infernus Marine mini I just finished painting; September 2025

I’m noticing the rate of alt text has gone down as this site grows. Alt text being expected is one way this site is better than Twitter was, because this community wants everyone to be able to groan at the screen cap from a piece by the awful pundit and appreciate our cat photos. Include everyone.
