Everyone in the world comes to get married at the NYC Marriage Bureau. Last week, the Mayor stopped by to officiate a few of those ceremonies.
Thank you to all the couples who shared their joy with us. Happy Valentine's Day, New York.

Martinez: "[I] sat in federal court and watched from 20 feet away as the border patrol agent who attempted to kill me testified at a hearing. Agent Charles Exum—Charles Exum, my attempted executioner was Charles Exum—I hope the government does not consider my use of his name here to be...doxxing."

These three movies have been my biggest sources of inspiration lately and I strongly recommend checking them out. French animation has been crushing it for years.

Jfc this is so targeted. Recruiting emails. A nice website & game sample on Steam. Interview focusing on storyboarding skills. Portfolio review. Official employment letter. Onboarding emails across two days. Then they hit me with wanting me to cash a check. 😫

No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.
Capcom is another studio embracing gen-ai sadly. Popular titles include: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Okami, Street Fighter, Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man. -y

Limb asset destruction and replacement working. Lucky uses her threads to adapt equipment for Clover's body. So I used her FX theme'ing for the animation.
Fun touches: The limbs go ragdoll when broken. Clothing remains ruined even after replacing a limb.
