I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

Could make an absolute banger 2D movie with $10mil! I think that's what's really overlooked about going 2D these days!
Step 2: Paint the rest of the effing wizard 😅✨🎨
I'm constantly telling people in these studios that, if you're thoughtful, a 2D movie with a budget of 7-10 million can feel like a 50-70 million dollar movie. 3D? Not as likely. Cheap 3D tends to look like cheap 3D, no matter how hard you try to hide it. You can really do amazing things with 2D.
Just finished this and yeah it’s amazing. What’s even more impressive is the production. A guy who works as an interior designer had no experience and dream
Here is a direct link to pre order tickets, pay what you want: watch.eventive.org/wd/play/68b1... And a new teaser: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLWl... @djaxx.bsky.social has done something amazingly impressive here, #animation fans, especially indies, show all the support you can
2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...
very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
Witnessing the AI artist get kicked out of the DragonCon artist alley was satisfying.
"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power." New from @markhertling.bsky.social:
"Experts" or just literally anyone that's not a fucking psychopath.
Some of y'all didn't wish hard enough.

One year ago today. "Where the Stars are Strange."
probably the most seamless recast in anything I've ever seen
One year ago today. "Elven Kings Under the Sky."
Demanding accountability of the entire trans community for this single mass shooting but not demanding accountability from the cis community for the thousands and thousands of other mass shootings is monstrous beyond all belief.
In the mood for a science-fiction adventure; one set on a lush, forested planet with a toxic atmosphere? Explorers seeking exotic minerals? And where you don't have to witness a director lose touch with his VFX roots, ignore material realities for the crew and prop up AI? Prospect (2018)
I am once again asking for Tales of the Shire dlc.

He can make Avatar 4 with fucking sock puppets alone in his bedroom then.
Fuck James Cameron, I hope every vfx studio boycotts working with him.

The worst part of this is Disney and other companies are going to learn the wrong fucking lesson from Demon Hunters success. Prepare for bad imitators and desperate, gag-inducing jukebox musical wannabes for the next five years at least.
This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.

My favorite part of the episode.
semi related but this synth only album by silenius of summoning is a personal favorite of mine. so cute, mysterious, fun, melancholy, playful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qSD...
Incredibly excited to announce that we will be having a limited release of ‘the Worlds Divide’ from Sep 9-30! The first week will be open to kickstarter backers exclusively, then out to the public! So excited for everyone to finally see this animated feature film!!!
My homage variant cover for Starship Godzilla issue 2 has also dropped! Honestly I was so bloody happy drawing this. Catching random Neon Genesis Evangelion episodes on SBS in the 90s did something irreversible to my brain as a kid. @idwpublishing.com #godzilla #neongenesisevangelion #comics
Underrated puppet critters.
I think alot of hardcore republican conservatives are really surprised by the consequences of their own actions because usually people smarter then them are able to curb/soften the consequences of their bad actions, that's why government has oversight/safety-nets/experts. Not this time.

If you see this, quote post your cat art
sure would be cool to have a second season of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance right about now
Really quite disheartening and disappointing to see the Tolkien Society hosting a discussion on “AI in fantasy filmmaking” this year at Oxonmoot. It feels about as morally and philosophically opposed to Tolkien’s work as a talk on the benefits of deforestation.
Extra points to Tales of the Shire for having a garden gnome. Or "garden fellow" as the hobbits apparently call it.
"Papa Snoop, why the fuck were you at the second Trump inauguration and now making up a fake story about me to act like a bigot without facing consequence??

Today's movie: "The Green Knight (2021)" Absolutely love a gorgeously portrayed folkloric film. Had me totally captivated throughout. boxd.it/aPQZ63

It's already the highest grossing animated movie of all time. But I was very disappointed to see I was the only person there when I saw Ne Zha 2 in IMAX. Go see it.

Little helper. Digital. Been trying to paint in a way that feels closer to the way I work in gouache, I think this one is not too far off! And a perfect excuse to paint a goblinette 😊 #art #illustration #fantasy #goblin

i am like 5'3" and pretty flimsy and i swear every one of these new fashy characters obsessed with their manhood who pops up looks like i could flush their head down a toilet
I have a warm spot for Harvey Beaks, not just because it's from the guy who created Chowder and Jellystone, but rather because this actually was a pretty charming series and probably one of the last times I really sat down and watched Nickelodeon live. Nick did this show really dirty.
I've been playing lots and lots of Tales of the Shire. So here's lots and lots of hobbitses.
Why do we have to say goodbye to the original X-Men cast for the 12th time?

"OK, I used AI for the cover--because competing in this market is just so hard--but there's no AI used in the text itself, PROMISE!" Yeah... if I see an AI slop cover, I'm going to assume the insides are AI slop as well. Sorry.

Rewatching the fabulous 2019 prequel series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, which is packed with resonant messages about the importance (and apparent futility in the short-term) of standing up to authoritarianism and oligarchy
The Battle of Greenfields is right there waiting to be adapted.
