We were ROBBED!!!
‘Megas XLR’ ended 21 years ago today.
The show’s co-creator Jody Schaeffer says a reboot was greenlit at Cartoon Network but was cancelled due to the Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

HELL YEAH!!
Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

When people say “don’t draw anime” they really mean learn the basics. Learning to draw forms, figures, gestures, perspective and more will help you draw any style even anime. I wish my art teachers drove that into me growing up

Draw them everyday to get your fixation going, even if it takes YEARS

The UK, Canada & Australia are reportedly in talks about potentially banning Twitter/X over Grok’s AI image generation, per The Telegraph.
Ministers believe a joint move would send a “powerful message” to Elon Musk.

Numbers does not equal talent. Luck equals numbers and not all of us have luck. Y'all are so talented and always deserve more recognition. But the biggest recognition that you should be seeking is from yourself. Draw your favorite OCs, change your art style, don't be afraid to try something new.
