Hello peoples of the internet!
I'm The Animation Analyst, lover of all things animated: stop-motion, CG, but MOSTLY 2D.
I'm aspiring to be able to work in the animation industry for a living (if it's still feasible within the next decade), more specifically by heading my own cartoon series.

I was given a small sketchpad at the age of five to do what I want. Started as a curiosity, then become a full-fledge passion when I realized the cause and effect. Creating art makes my family/friends happy. It makes me happy. Seeing my thoughts realized makes me happy.
I like being happy.

With all this awful news going on i wanna ask this question once again to fellow artists and general creatives. What got YOU into art? what sparked that motivation to start writing? what made you wanna pick up a camera and start taking pics? Like share with us your reasons.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

AI bones are inherently brittle, and anything built on them will rot.
“Oh I only used AI for placeholders or idea starters” does not make it better! If you are using it for any part of the creative process then you’re no longer doing the process!
"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

This is a firm demonstration for how harmful streaming can be for films and shows. They can disappear without a moments notice and they have nowhere else to be legally seen. This is why streaming needs to put more stuff out on physical media cause art shouldn't be lost to time.
‘She-Ra and the Princesses of Power’ is scheduled to leave Netflix on February 21, 2026.

You really can't minimize the use of genAI without shitting on the labor you are replacing with it.
"We only use it to ideate and explore references! Unimportant things that don't matter! Nobody cares about those things, right? We all agree this is unimportant garbage work, right???"

"I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art" just to make reference, get ideas from and outline composition lmao

... How? Bc they're more than happy to tell us when their shows and movies are leaving their platform, but they never tell us where they'll end up if anywhere at all. And the fact that they're doing it with one of their most popular shows is frightening.

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

How about everyone cancel their subscriptions like they did when Kimmel was removed from his late night show? It would probably make a difference like last time.
