every so often i reappear on here to complain about how [redacted industry standard animation software] took away perpetual licenses and locks you into a subscription for customer support even as an individual user with a standalone license and iirc included gen AI in their latest version :I

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

And the character concepts for Midge Munster's special! I had to scale these for Instagram so the scale looks a bit wack now but it's the designs that matter 🤌
The actual characters are so well designed and feature some stunning costume and makeup work, it was so fun getting to stylize them all!

It's finally live! I'm happy to share that I animated the intro for Midge Munster's fabulous Halloween special - it's always such a joy getting to work with her, and animating this whole cast of fantastic characters has been a treat! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmBP...

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

So this is a very, very desperate move - a very silly app of generative AI slop that will be incredibly expensive for OpenAI to run, and on top of it, they're requiring rights holders to *opt out* once they see violations. You can't do it in advance. They're washed, and trying everything to survive.

OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator that creates videos featuring copyright material unless copyright holders opt out. When a business is based on theft of others' work, it is not a legal business.

No clue what's going on with the moderarion discouree on here bur my own stuff gets censored for any highly stylised, non-sexual drawing of a butt cheek or boob and I have to appeal each time.

I love a monthly challenge but the one year I did a full one from start to finish (Outfit August in like... 2019, woof it's been a while), I happened to have exactly a month in between jobs so I had no job to go to but also didn't have the pressure of securing my next job.
Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.
Didn't we agreed to stop romanticing Inktober a couple of years ago bc the guy running It was terrible and the trend glorifies art as content, or what happened
