Loner Maxine sits on the bottom end of the high school food chain, yet is drawn into the orbit of her queen bee roommate Annalyn Park. Amid an ominous summer of omens and illnesses, a question persists: what is Maxine to Annalyn? A new friend, an amusing pet, a midnight snack, or...?

Just speaking for film & TV there isn't really a job loss due to AI. It's been mostly due to successive punches of pandemic, streaming collapse, union strikes, studio consolidation and interest rates. This trend was in place way before Midjourney was pumping out pictures with 14 fingers.

LRP after catching up w some friends who work outside of the arts, I can confirm that many ppl assume animation job struggles are bc of AI, and it’s really not that at all

being in animation, its not from AI. the streaming bubble bursting cuz everyone hopped on the grain cuz it undermined unions, less regulations and more mergers are what lead to the loss. AI is just what people think but it started way before that

badly done and very brief little guide about contrast when thinking about composition! this is really just the tip of the iceberg, but it is something i think about a lot! if you take one thing from this, its that composition is ALL about relationships between the elements. (1/2)

I usually haven't enjoyed a lot of the actual stories Clamp has written, but their skill at drawing a comic page still something to be studied. Check out this ambitious 8 panel comic page, which still manages to read easily. Leading the eye is an art in and of itself!

The umbrella academy driving meme. Chekhov is driving from right to left and making eye contact with Five as he drives left to right.
The captions read:
Top: diversifying into animation because the games industry is a binfire
Bottom: diversifying into games because the animation industry is a binfire.
