Saw ‘Supergirl’ today. Moviegoers, and film critics, need to be reminded that it’s okay to depict villains as villains—This film accomplishes that.

I hadn’t even see the Werwulf trailer, but I called it right. Werwulf makes spotting a shitty creative decision super easy. I hope users a call a spade a spade with this film.

Wait til you see Lily-Rose Depp in the film! It’s problematic and that’s a severe understatement. Moviegoers have an opportunity to call this film out for beyond shitty representation. I truly hope they do.

Reminder: “Manhunter” fundamentally misrepresents and fails to understand what the experience is for anyone who has a cleft condition. It’s a film that never gets called out on the shitty representation it leans so heavily on.

If you want an immersive experience, watch the film with someone who was born with a cleft condition. The film contains shitty representation—Its like it was made by a team of filmmakers who never met someone with a cleft condition. Yikes!

The Daredevil finale was phenomenal. You really feel for Matt Murdock and Karen Paige after what they both have went through. This episode is a really beautiful way to tie up this season and open up the story possibilities for the next season.

The new Star Fox designs are unsettling. Like…not enough to be straight-up creepy…but they’re weird as hell.

The Adobe Illustrator iPad app is wonderful—I’m pleasantly surprised. I have a love/hate relationship with the desktop version, but this mobile version is streamlined in a way that makes it enjoyable to use.

I’ve been using Adobe Fresco a lot lately. For me, an iPad and Apple Pencil won’t replace a Cintiq and stylus… …BUT, Fresco is really growing on me. Great interface. I love using the Kyle Webster brushes I’m used to. Working on art on-the-go has made my line choices looser and more spontaneous.

AI-crafted art is officially ineligible for copyright protection because it doesn’t have a human creator. That is great news.

Adobe says Animate is now “in maintenance mode” meaning it won’t be discontinued or have access to it removed. Details below. That’s a relief because Adobe Animate allows me to do some really fun stuff in the comic I’m working on. It’s a great, truly helpful tool. helpx.adobe.com/animate/kb/m...

So disappointed that Adobe Animate is being discontinued. It was an amazing software not just for animators but for background designers and children’s book illustrators, for example. Adobe is going to shit but I didn’t expect them to do something this stupid. Blech.

Starfleet Academy’s premiere episode really started working for me once Robert Picardo & the cadets appeared. It’s a good pilot episode, but the opening scenes were tough to get through. I’m sure it’s all necessary to set up what’s coming up in the season, but it just wasn’t clicking for me.

I will be releasing my debut self-published comic in 2026. I am so excited for the New Year and to share this comic with readers. I’ve had a blast writing and illustrating it. This opening chapter features characters I am psyched about—Can’t wait for readers to meet them. :)

If you watch The Chair Company, be ready to descend into madness. You won’t be able to stop watching this show. The day players make this show great. They are hysterical and some are legit scene stealers. Can’t wait for season two!

“Yuki’s Revenge,” the Fortnite x Kill Bill short, is a singular experience. I can’t think of another property that’s done a similar thing. The Fortnite elements didn’t take me out of the story per se. It’s hard to imagine David Carradine gelling with all that. Fortnite aside, it was a fun short!

Patrick Weibel @prweibel.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

I like the premiere of Pluribus. I’m really intrigued to see how season one plays out given its premise. It has an X-Files vibe in a refreshing way—In terms of the show’s humor esp. toward the end…not so much the sci-fi angle. The actor Seehorn’s character talks to at the end absolutely kills it!

Here’s a timeline cleanse—An example of good SFX makeup. If Mike Marino designed this makeup, he’d sure as fuck have an inexplicable cleft scar. The SFX makeup designers gave Frankenstein’s monster a lip scar but they do it in the right way & they don’t punch down at a particular group. How nice!

Patrick Weibel @prweibel.bsky.social · 23/11/2025

I have a sneaking suspicion that SFX makeup artist Mike Marino is doing the makeup for Robert Eggers’s Werwulf. I bet I’m right about it. Take a look at the set photos of Lily-Rose Depp. It reinforces what I’ve said about The Penguin’s problematic design on The Batman.

Friendship needs to be celebrated because it lets beautifully dumb moments happen. If you like improv, you’ll appreciate how this movie lets its performers just go for it.

In case you’re considering switching to Email Octopus like I am: EO integrates with Shopify and BookFunnel. Good deal! I think they’ll be my new newsletter provider. I’ve been testing out EO today—So far it seems like a solid alternative to Mailerlite!

I’m disappointed with Mailerlite. They dropped their free email subscriber capacity from 1000 to 500. Lame. I’m looking into Email Octopus. Probably gonna switch to them.

More inspiration: “We're Kinda Different,” a fantastic short by Ben Meinhardt. So funny and charming. Great storyboarding that keeps the scale of the character in mind. Watch it here: vimeo.com/1066401656?s...

If you’re looking for some inspiration, go watch this episode of Love Death + Robots: “How Zeke Got Religion” It’s about the crew of a WWII bomber fighting off an unholy monster. The design work is stellar. The 2D animation is legit amazing—It’s some of the best animation I’ve seen this year.

I really enjoyed the Fantastic Four film. Genuinely my favorite part was seeing Jack Kirby’s appearance in the movie. It was so nice to finally see him get a nod like that in the MCU.

Process Post: Here’s a screenshot from last night’s stream. See the numbers next to the characters? Those are brush sizes. I try to find the thickest line to ink the outline of each character. I’ll do a brush size or two smaller to ink the rest of the character.

Can’t wait to release the prologue for my graphic novel. It’s twenty panels. Panel five is my favorite panel. The rest of the story couldn’t happen if not for what happens in that panel. Someone makes a selfless decision and changes my main character’s life forever. :)

I’ve been having fun with OBS. Streamlined my process a bit for when I do art streams. Last time I had the camera pointed at my Wacom screen while I inked and colored my comic. I’m gonna switch to sharing my screen instead. Cleaner that way—Viewers will get a better look while I draw.

I’m looking forward to art streaming on YouTube. I will be inking and coloring the next panel from my creator-owned comic. Discoverability on Twitch is like it is on Bluesky—Not good. I’m hoping YouTube will be better.

I can finally go live on YouTube starting tomorrow. I’ve been doing art streams on Twitch and those have been a lot of fun. Excited to give YouTube a try and nerd out using OBS some more.
