In 1957, a stray dog from the streets of Moscow became the first living creature to go into orbit. Sadly, her mission was a one-way trip, as there was no way to bring her home at the time. This is her story re-imagined. 🚫No AI🚫

every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

I'm gonna try working on multiple scenes at once to see if that can bring me closer to getting back on schedule. When I made the big scene with the WWII flashback, it really felt like that's what I was doing, so I might as well lean into that this time and see what happens

I've decided to start a new version of the project's main thread on here. Now that Bluesky lets you post 10 minute videos, I don't have to keep splitting my scenes into parts and making the thread so much longer than it needs to be. Should have the revamped one ready soon in the next day or two

DreamWorks Animation’s remote workers have overwhelmingly ratified their first union contract with The Animation Guild. 97% voted in favor of the agreement, securing equal wage standards, healthcare, pension benefits and workplace protections as on-campus workers.

Now that Bluesky allows 10 minute videos, should I restart this project's official thread from scratch? I never liked splitting up so many scenes into separate parts before, it feels impractical to watch the whole thing that way

The next scene features another flashback to Laika's childhood, this time from before WWII started. I'm about halfway through drawing it, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of her puppy design. Stay tuned!
A 7 year old Laika sits on a foldable chair on the rooftop of her childhood home, holding a small telescope. Her mother, Natasha, stands at an open door with folded arms

In case I don't get the colored version ready in time, here's a rough sketch for those who celebrate
Laika in a 90s hip hop outfit holding a microphone, wearing a "Thursday the 20th" medallion. It's a reference to an old Simpsons gag

This is the kind of thing I see that directly demonstrates WHY so many are against AI. The people pushing this cannot help but start with "THIS WILL DESTROY YOUR JOBS" while talking about tech built on theft that's also making everything unaffordable. Gee, how exciting.

The ONLY decent side effect of AI is that it made me consider my own artistic intent more. Why did I frame this shot a certain way? What did I mean by that line of dialogue? What was I going for with plot point X or Y? AI can never really work through questions like these

I'm already in the home stretch with drawing the next scene. It'll be a much shorter, simpler one this time, so thankfully I caught a break after how elaborate the Stalingrad sequence got for me

The rough edit for scene 15 is done! I still have to start the music in FL Studio, plus another round or two of sound mixing, but it's absolutely in the home stretch now. Soon I'll finally get to show this damn thing off in all its glory 🤞

Editing has begun on the next scene. It's still anyone's guess how long it might be, but I thiiiiiiink the runtime might be somewhere in the 8-10 minute range. It's also gonna be the first scene with a content warning at the start. Stay tuned y'all

Sometimes I forget just how drastic my style drift has been since I started this project

Finished drawing the last frame in the Stalingrad flashback today (barring any extra bits I might still add later). It's been hard, but I'm finally in the home stretch for this next scene altogether, and I'm confident I'll have it out before the end of the month. Stay tuned!

Peter Jackson didn’t use forced perspective, scale models, adjustable and ‘“split-scale-sets,” where set pieces, such as tables, chairs, doors, and even some other props, were built in multiple sizes’ and children to double as Hobbits in LOTR, just for sloppy losers to tell us ‘AI is inevitable’.

We've gotten too comfortable just consuming media and content without question and demanding more and more instead of just being happy with the content itself. Every time something happens that could be used to help artists create, it's used to screw them over. I'm sick of it.

Five nights at Freddys guy can continuously donate to republicans, jk Rowling can ruin entire branches of politics with a hatred legal defense fund, but the digital circus and Steven universe creators were queer and made choices fans didn't like and for that they get hate campaigns to ruin them.

I watched a video about the inaccuracies of Enemy At the Gates, specifically to see what to avoid, but probably like 2/3rds of it was specifically hyperfocused on the guns and weapons alone. Which was NOT super helpful for my purposes

Can't believe I'm saying this, but the next scene is already fully drawn. Thanks to my new EasyPose rough drafts, plus not a ton of movement to worry about in this one (minus one shot that felt like it was gonna kill me for a bit 😭), I'm already onto the editing

No AI bro can understand why they like what they like. They will gorge themselves on untold hours of key jingling and quirky one-liners, and they will also wonder why movies just aren't that good these days. They will generate an impossible woman who says their name in order to fall asleep at night.
