Iain McCaig is charismatic enough and wholesome enough to run a Bob Ross-esque show about life drawing and concept art.

Avatar Aang is out! Go watch! These are some sketches and studies I did while on it as I was trying to get the hang of the style. A lot of it referencing Kihyun Ryu's work.

I'm proud of this but I often think about the insane hyperfixation I must have been experiencing to actually finish this because combining the 2d and 3d, and compositing it all was such an enormous pain in the ass. I don't know what came over me.

Loved the first episode! I think people completely overstate the serious tone / Major's stoic personality in other adaptations. Applies to the movie but she's legit funny in SAC. This show leaning into some of the sillier expressions and really expressive animation is S++ though

Hey, I hate to ask, but if you read my game writing guide and found it helpful in any way, I'd appreciate a review. Someone decided to give me 2 stars because it was too "woke" for them and it hurt my rating 🫠 www.amazon.com/Game-Writing...

Howdy I'm the sheriff of #makeaterriblecomicday
comic of a rascal picking a book out of the library and wanting to make one of their own. The other books yell to also be read, and the rascal is panicked by this mass of unread stories, saying "this library is a graveyard! How will my comic avoid this fate!" The sheriff of makeaterriblecomicday enters and points his gun at the rascal, saying "An unread book is no tragedy! An unwritten book is! create for your own soul, or don't create at all!" the rascal, is still worried about their place in infinity, but the sheriff assures them that inifinity is a scam, the only truth is in the moment, and being forgotten is a blessing. waves saying "read me!" crash on a beach, apreciated for a moment, and forgotten. These comic panels create a sheriff body.

Microsoft keeps reinstalling Copilot, so I found a way to rip it out of Windows for good

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31. This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC. You decide who Congress answers to.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator.

In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search.

I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work.

Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. 

If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.

Limb asset destruction and replacement working. Lucky uses her threads to adapt equipment for Clover's body. So I used her FX theme'ing for the animation. Fun touches: The limbs go ragdoll when broken. Clothing remains ruined even after replacing a limb. #CherubDev #UE5 #Bunny #Mecha
