Happy 10 years to one of my favorite Steven Universe songs (that also helped launch my creative career and connections)

Compositing anime scenes in DaVinci Resolve entirely, including line smoothing and color corrections. I’m having fun learning, plus this means I found a solution to not having After Effects/OLM plugins 👀 #indie_anime

Been on vacation the last 10 days. Pre-scheduled posts and YouTube videos, enjoying time with my family and fiancée, and ignoring the various DM’s/tweets I’ve been getting from certain animators. Unbothered, unashamed, refreshed and ready to continue doing my thing.

One of the biggest joys in life I have is seeing that so many people are finding my videos helpful in learning the anime studio pipeline on a beginner level. So many people are confused by the intimidating terminology, so explaining things simpler helps them learn it better

To all my mutuals/ associates that were expecting messages from me months ago...sorry Big sad times + lots of work really ate up a lot of my energy this year. Slowly getting there but please be patient with me

I swear 50% of the posts on the Indie Animation subreddit is “I have a cool idea for a show, does anyone wanna work with me for free?” And the other 50% is just pure vitriol and hatred for popular indie content.

I don’t calibrate my drawing tablets for color accuracy. I just have a pre-set list of colors that I just pin to the top and only use that. The colors remain accurate no matter what the screen calibration is. Man, I love using anime-specific colors, lol.

Nothing depresses me more than people close to me that actively shit on, mock and spread misinformation about a medical disorder that *they know I have*. My AuDHD diagnosis gave me a lot of peace. To have people in the same room talk negative about it just sucks

I have not seen a lot of reactors mention this, but in PPPIDWtbaMG when random “cosmic cash” fell from the sky I immediately thought “this reminds me of Bee and Puppycat!!” Idk if that’s a direct reference, but love it all the same! #PPPIDWtbaMG @kianamai.bsky.social

To the a-hole who commented that my “coloring is what makes my animations mid”… F*ck you, I color-picked my colors directly off official anime character ref sheets, so suck it. #anime #digitalartists

My fiancée constantly likes to bring up the fact that she once insisted to me that grey is just “pastel black”, & she never understands why people feel uncomfortable hearing that.

Someone recently messaged me repeatedly asking if they can join my animation team. Email, DMs, they even joined my Discord server and tried to DM/friend me there despite my server rules. Said they had experience running their own studio, and sent over a demo reel 🧵

Finally biting the bullet and creating character ref sheets that i am most likely going to keep for my series moving forward. This will be the default design for Dreamer: comfy, casual, pretty much what I would love to nap in every day. They will still keep the lab coat design too✨☁️ ~ Spywi

Just watched FNAF2 at my local theater. 10/10 movie, no notes, but I was annoyed most of the time cuz some teens up front were yelling stuff like “IS THAT THE BITE OF 6-7?!?” or some degenerate thing about Toy Chica every 15 minutes or so. #fnaf2 #fnaf

Guys…when I say I’m an indie animator, it means I’m an INDEPENDENT ANIMATOR. IT DOES NOT MEAN IM FROM INDIA

You can spend 40+ hours on an animation and get 2 likes or you can be an asshole for free and go viral. Make it make sense.

Testing out the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 V2 with some doodles and I gotta say, as much as I love and promote the iPad and the portability of it all, there’s just something about having a large screen and slim form factor that makes this such an appealing desk alternative for me 👀✨ More to come soon

So many people ask me about a bunch of different features, tools and other parts of Clip Studio Paint that I thought were common sense or obvious. Turns out, I actually was just really good at Googling what I needed. Anyways, new CSP video! youtu.be/CvZXWk70R4w
