Also, here's the photo I was referencing. I was all excited because it shows less of his arm tattoo... until I realized it had been flopped. I had to flip my drawing, which always looks weird if you haven't been flipping it the whole time.

Sorry for the re-post, but after looking on my phone, I wasn't happy with the dead colors on this and so I'm re-posting with the vibrance a team like The Outrunners deserves. #AEW

I drew @truthmagnum.bsky.social from my favorite Newport-flavored tag team in #AEW, The Outrunners! I wanted to go cartoonier with it, but I was working from photo ref and it just kept getting more realistic as I went.

A drawing of Truth Magnum of The Outrunners staring at the camera as he flexes his bicep and sticks his tongue out. He's wearing pants that look exactly like a pack of Newport cigarettes. He's the youngest man alive.

Since getting into AEW, I’ve been wanting to make a pixel art roguelike where you’re a new wrestler working your way up, and your game is really inspiring. I’d say the chances of me actually making it just went up like 2%!

Hmm. Does the same thing happen if you try to add a new scene through other methods, like hitting "add new scene" from the storyboard menu? This is a screenshot from v20.1 on PC, but is this box unchecked for you?

How are you adding a new scene? Clicking on the icon, or using a keybind? If it's the latter, the best idea I've got is that your keybind for adding a new scene is somehow shared by "Add New Sequence"?

I tried playing with French audio at first for maximum Frenchness but switched when I realized the animation had been done to the English track, and I’m really glad I didn’t miss it. Some truly excellent voice acting hitting some very tricky notes.

My daughter and I have been getting into #AEW lately. Here’s a sketch of Hangman Adam Page - fake back musculature brought to you by my lack of actual art instruction

Pencil sketch of Hangman Adam Page. He’s facing away from camera so you can see a lot of vague back muscles, and he looks menacingly at the camera over his left shoulder.
