Howl's Moving Castle Book vs. Movie - Compare and Contrast Part 1

Oh hey! I completely forgot this went up yesterday. September's video was later than I'd hoped it would be but we're in the middle of moving and work got crazy busy. But the video is up and it's all about Howl's Moving Castle! Check it out if you have the chance 😁

Before I forget, here's the art for my most recent video. It's several of the characters from the book version of Howl's Moving Castle as they're described in the book.

September's video is so close to being finally done. I had hoped to already have it posted but it will definitely be up before the month is over. I also have the art started for October's video and I'm pretty excited to make that one too.
One of these days I will figure out my productivity issues 🤣

I swear, every time I get a good roll going working on art stuff, my "real" job can sense it and calls me in for a random shift.
Tomorrow's shift could have been already on my schedule at the start of the week, but they really don't like planning ahead it seems.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Hey!
Did you know it's the best day of the year? International Vulture Day is here!!
It's a day to celebrate, share & support vultures, the most endangered (and misunderstood) family of birds in the world.
Take a moment to share a vulture with someone just how cool and important they are!

Scrolling through my feed and I saw this post that I forgot about. Fun fact, I would eventually delete this whole drawing and start over 🤣
These are probably the best legs I've ever drawn. Turns out taking my own advice of going slow and taking your time really does work 😂

I know I keep posting about this... I do have art to post but I keep forgetting to, but this one video is quickly becoming a series. I knew it was going to be a lot but I genuinely thought I could keep it at 20 minutes... Yeah that's not gonna happen 🤷

Been working on this video script and I've realized it's gonna have to be split into 2 videos which is a little extra work, but on the bright side, I've got video ideas to get me through to December now 😂

I'm finally getting the script written for my September video and I'm so excited about this video. I'm probably going to have to be careful not to end up with an hours long vid... I can talk about the topic for it for endless amounts of time 🤣

Finished recording the time lapse of art for another video I'm working on and near had a panic attack when exporting and Krita decided it couldn't find my ffmpeg... I had to go searching for it to make sure it did still exist on my laptop. Found it and exported the video but that was scary lol

I got one of the long form videos I was working on done and fully edited and it's always such a great feeling, too bad getting started always takes so long 😭😂

Working on figuring out the composition for art for a future video. I'm getting mildly concerned with how many characters I want to include. This is either gonna look really cool or it's gonna be way too much... We'll see how it goes 😂

Good news!! I remembered how to draw my characters again! And they're looking way better now.
Doing things that are way out of your comfort zone is a fantastic way to learn new skills and improve the ones you already have.
I highly recommend it 😁

Unintentional side-effect of drawing only one thing for a while: I can no longer remember what my own characters look like 💀
It's all good though, I could never forget what Jamie looks like and she's a great practice character lol

I finished a commission last night and now I almost feel lost. Like what do I do with myself now? Lol
Realistically I'll be taking July to create a backlog of videos for my YouTube, working on my poor neglected webcomic 😆

I've been working on this one commission for a while and I'm getting close to finishing it which is awesome. Currently waiting on feedback before I move on to the next stage which is a weird feeling to me lol.
This is good though, I can put some work into a video in the meantime 😁

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second:
one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable
that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

Every single time I get to the inking stage of any art piece, I'm reminded how important it is to trust the process. Sketches never look great but the cleaning up that comes with line art brings me life 😂

Saying to be against gen ai “is ableist” is actual ableism! You’re not only dismissing thousands of years of art and work done by disabled people, who have always been creating, but by supporting ai you also cutting off a big source of income for many disabled artists on top of stealing their work
