Why have all these financial and accounting services following me???? Do I give off the vibe that I need them?

You ever look at Japanese production storyboards and wonder "what the fuck are we (in the USA) even doing" because all's I can say is damn. The level of detail is quick thumbnails at best and that's all you need. Fuck the USA production expectations for storyboards. Stop making us make comic books.

Once I finish Quartz Quest episode 3, i’m gonna learn how to use a CNC wood router, and I’ll probably feel like this Pig I drew.

I'm an animation guy and I'll always be an animation guy, but the idea that any given comic is just trapped in a lesser medium until it's animated is so offensive to me

Every Junji Ito anime adaptation showcases how comics aren't some throwaway stepping stone to animation and cinema, and that we should stop treating them as such. Comics, like prose novels, are their own medium that can convey things animation and video cannot.

I think this every time I watch Belladonna of Sadness

Sonic meme of him laying and saying "I want more animation to utilize still images and sparingly save the animated scenes for artistic focal points and I'm not kidding"

Not all the time, but in general you should enjoy making your stuff. You’d be surprised how many people want to make things but hate every single aspect that comes with making things.

One of my strongest opinions about “ indie animation “ and making things in general is that you should enjoy doing it to some extent.

I think when you get into indie-animation, you should be ready to pay people or barter then, not later. Volunteer labor shouldnt have deadlines. YOU SHOULD HAVE A JOB or do alot of shit yourself.

The promise of merch stores, "royalties" and multiple projects? Good for clout. Bad for business.

Cool bug facts! Whenever you see “indie animation studios” announce multiple shows and series being made without any prior establishment, budget, or income to put into it (and i mean big income) odds are they wont see the light of day and is a scam for free labor and piggybacking off others work!

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
