I think it’s funny to be labeled a “Luddite” for not supporting a very specific use of ai. I see benefits to responsible ai, such as denoising, upscaling, NST (neural style transfer) for fx, smart editing tools (ie PS content aware fill), better cataloguing of repositories….

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

So, Sam Altman is Syndrome, right? Someone without abilities, angry at the world for it, training machines on the those with abilities, then getting rid of them, with the goal to make tech that makes him huge profits.

I recently came back from a vacation to Japan. While the jet lag has been tough, the biggest challenge has been readjusting to the shit we call food in the US. Theres absolutely no correlation between our food and for profit healthcare, right?

We need more $50-$30 million animated features. The right team can make it look like $100 million. More room to experiment, more variety for the audience.

At one point Nibbles’ car had a much more prominent role… for a shot. It’s also one of the first pieces I did in procreate. Even though it got cut, it was still really fun to figure out all the little details and set dressing. #zootopia2 #Disney #animation #conceptart #visdev #art

Zootopia easter egg 2. The Pandalorian. Some of the most fun I had on the show. Where is it? This bootleg dvd cover “weasels” its way in for a quick sec. #zootpia #zootopia2 #easteregg #Disney #starwars #mandalorian #animation #visdev #art #conceptart

The first assignment I did on Zootopia 2. It was a very different story at that point, and Gary’s intro involved a hospital visit, where reptiles were an unknown species (hence the notes on the X-rays and the mash up traction set up). #zootopia2 #animation #disney #conceptart #visdev #art

Easter egg. Even the smallest details have to be made. Original concept by @amithompson.bsky.social . I basically redrew her drawing, poorly, then tried to cover it up with color😓 Go see #zootopia2 and see if you can spot “THORSE”. #Disney #animation #art #procreate

I may be alone on this, but one of the biggest pet peeves I have is when superheroes have long arcs where they lose their powers. Superman 2 and Spider-Man 2 are exceptions for me, because it’s quick , story drive, and doesn’t feel like filler

If only there was an Image comics type revolution, but for animation.

One of my favorite drawings of Noboru in the book. I shot reference to get the folds looking right.
