GenAI has no place in fanime.

The biggest charm fanime has is doing all the steps to make your own show, and AI steals from that as much as it takes everything around it already.

Fanime is freedom. Don't let AI take that from you! 💖

So, I almost forgot about the hurdle that was actually finishing the line boiling the Mariu frames in scene 1 but that's all good and now I'm currently line boiling her frames for her in scene 3.

I also wanna share very mad Mariu.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Hello, Bluesky! 👋

I'm Sanaku, an artist and animator from the Philippines! I like drawing warm, happy pieces, and the occasional dark and gritty. I also voice act sometimes and do commissions~!
➡️ vgen.co/sanaku

#art #artist #voiceacting #commission
Artwork of Alma (from Mellorism), and my @PandeeSweets's OC Florettah (from Mission Kaiju). Both are smiling warmly, holding up hand peace signs next to their faces, as if someone is taking a picture of them at a park. Character artwork of OC Veilos, a rogue warlock in the tabletop game Dungeons and Dragons. He has long flowing brown hair, wearing a hooded black & blue thief outfit. He is sitting on some barrels and crates, and grinning at the viewer. Beside him is an owl familiar that is staring at something off-camera, as if keeping watch. The atmosphere of this piece is dark and red, unsettlingly so, but Veilos's smile is disarmingly inviting. Watermark on the barrel says "@SANAKU_ART". Character artwork of Specter from Fanime Castle in a white background, looking over her shoulder, and at the viewer, with a blank and neutral expression. Character artwork (commission) of Esoteric and Ramses in a library. Ramses slams three newly ordered coffee onto the table. The coffee cups have: one black coffee with "Eso-" written on it, one sprinkled pink and blue coffee with the name "Stein", and the last cup, with rainbow liquid, has "Rams-". The cup with black coffee almost spills onto some papers next to it on the table. Esoteric is panicking, flinging some books and papers in the other direction to avoid the splash. The watermark on the bottom says "Commission. Twitter: @sanaku_art"

Okay, so, psudo-embarrassing update, posted in the Fanime Castle Discord
From me (Gissy the Mushroom Gremlin): "Okay so I tried to do the thing of working on TMoS ep 4 on the weekdays while I work on GtS ep 0 on the weekends. Now it's a good idea for a schedule. Problem: Starting this schedule on Thanksgiving week was a mistake because after Wednsday, it's a looog weekend-" With an emote describing how I am feelin'

Slowly working on TMoS Episode 4 (thankfully the pain I was having is subsiding) I am on Pennette's frames! (Yes, her scythe's lineart is red.
At the very least, I want some shots (plus a lil' thing I had prepare ahead of time) for the 16th.

MJBYY redraw! alt color in replies~

(26/31)

[ #art #fanart #mjbyy #artistsonbsky #fanime #draweveryday ]
2025 rendition of Fuu Fuu Furi Furi Pupi and Demonica Bishi dancing together. In this interation, Demonica is much more playful and pulling Furi around whereas Furi looks worried. In the background is wavy text that reads "Some Days Are Swinging Days" 2013 rendition of the previous art. Fuu Fuu Furi Furi Pupi and Demonica Bishi are more poised and elegant in their dancing stances and have mor "realistic" proportions. the same text as before reads behind them

I liked this version too much to not post
alt colors of previous art. instead of Fuu Fuu Furi Furi Pupi being in a green color gradietn and Demonica Bishi in a red one, their colors are as they are depicted in the fanime itself

Heya-ho!! Good news!!!

So I have made another type of streamline list for fanime series that have reached their finales, which despite it being a lil' smaller than the main list, it does show that creators are able to complete their fanime!

Okay so, I made the other streamline list not to long before this one but I was really motivated to make another one soooo, I made this one.

That and it'd be cool to showcase fanime series from different eras. :D (Tho this is very long.... ^^;;;)

Sooooo, I realized that tomorrow is Indie Animation Day.

This could be an opportunity to talk about The Mage of Silence since I got the scene visually done. ^^

I'd probably want to use music over the clips since I uh... still don't have VAs yet, and the deadline for the casting call is the 17th-
A very rough sketch of Mariu with the word "Oh." next to her.

It's been a long, long time since I've tried to come out with any sort of series. I think the last one I worked on was all the way back in 2018? Anyway. Here is the trailer to my current project. #Fanime #FanimeWorld #FanimeCastle #Art #Animation
