Did you know. That the meme-explosion that was the wooden model of Sacabambaspis (an Ordovician jawless fish) held at a Museum in Helsinki, was created by a pioneering Estonian fish paleontologist and palaeoartist, Elga Mark-Kurik. 🧵

~Art vs Artist 2025~
Drew a lot this year, but not satisfied with where I'm at. I'm particulary proud of 100 Line, but everyone always looks at the Sonic shirts 🤣 Thank you all who have been cheering me on & supporting me at shows. Plan to level up next year~

It’s my birthday and I got some pretty bad news about my eldest dog today so I’m going to turn my attention to self promo! I’m trying to get to 2k by the new year so if anyone wants to bump me along with a reblog, I’d be grateful!! 🥲
Happy #porfolioday ! I'm Sam, a queer Philly based cartoonist making comics and character design/visual development with a focus on sci-fi and environmentalism. I love drawing girls, robots and messy, detailed worlds.

I'm especially looking to line up some short comics!

Trans Awareness Week ends on Wednesday, and I’m one of many people who could use support to continue accessing the care they need. Consider supporting me, or the many trans cultural curators you follow, so that we can keep existing as who we are
Tipping and supporting me allows me to not only have support while I work with the state to get health care but also means I can continue to care for mixed as a disabled trans person. That includes being able to set aside time to write queer and trans articles.

Sahar’s accounts are deleted so she asked me to share her campaign page. She says that rain is coming and she needs $200 to buy a tent and nylon coverings for it

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops
Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.
Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.
