Hey y'all! #MonkeyWrench just released Episode 6! Spliced together a little reel of my roughs I did for the episode. Thanks again to @zeurel.bsky.social and the rest of the crew in making such a fantastic work environment, one of my fav things I've worked on so far! #indieanimation #animation

Wanna know what else is animated in 'flash' (now called Adobe Animate)? Star Trek Lower Decks. An amazing animation team putting all the stops on that production. (I didn't work on either MLP or Star Trek: LD. Just mad respect when I see the software used.)

Flash/ CS2-CS6/Adobe Animate all ran under the same style and functioned best on its simplicity. Symbols, and having builds set-up with reuse, using scripts/plug-ins that swap identically sized models made MLP financially easier to animate in Flash. The liscenses were WAY cheaper for studios, too.

I’ve noticed there seems to be a disconnect between what people understand Carney to be doing and what his policies actually do in practice. And I think I know why. Rather than telling you, I’m going to show you:

*sigh*. Another talented artist that sold their soul to AI. This really hurts because Jessica Borutski is one of my inspirations and this is heartbreaking. I hope she reconsiders this and listens to other artists about this.
A screenshot on Instagram showing Jessica Borutski's AI generated image of her "Toaster Head" idea. Sigh.

The post she made is as follows:

"COMING SOON! 2027~TOASTER HEAD
I transformed my style into 3D using my drawing that I prompted in Nano Banana Pro to have a 3d style transfer, then further manipulated in Photoshop to look exactly like my drawing. Im really happy with the result and love using new tools to achieve looks I could never before while balancing 2 gigs .🤖 Thank you robots!"

Taps sign: "Being unable to idenify religious nationalism of other faiths makes you a fool and complicit when govs use that extremism to commit genocycle." This applies to all faiths, not just the majority. And I'm tired we can't even mention them without a plague of bots reporting it.

My most popular piece on blusky seems to be this, which, fair. It's pretty good
Darkwing Duck, Gosalyn, Launchpad, and Morgana stand in a circular stone room, with an open, empty coffin. Darkwing holds a mallet and a carrot. Dangermouse and Penfold stand by. There is a staircase rising above them, and Count Duckula is descending it, grinning. His shadow rises up on the wall in the shape of a bat.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two friends sit at a table in a cafe. One of the women is reading a magazine. Her friend says teasingly, “you read that horoscope baloney? Lemme see.” Panel 2: the friend looks at her horoscope page, which reads, “LIBRA: You will be eaten by a large carnivorous plant.” Panel 3: the friend looks amused and befuddled. She chuckles, “heh…” Behind her, an enormous alien-looking carnivorous plant the size of a large bathtub is being wagoned into the cafe by a straining workman.

Would a woodie coaster breathe fire if it could?
A cartoon illustration of a long dragon made up of a wooden rollercoaster on a sky blue gradient background. Visible support beams make up its body, which gradually narrows until just the track, which comes to a jagged and broken end, makes up the tail. At the opposite end of the body, a six car-long train makes up the head. The front car has angry yellow eyes printed on the front, and the track is bent downward into long fangs. A pair of wings made up of darker planks of wood and queue line awning webbing makes sprouts from its back.
