Hollywood was better when execs were just doing a lot of cocaine and greenlighting everything that sounded cool

One of my favorite fun facts about Angel’s Egg is that the anime has had such a messy history with US distribution that at one point Roger Corman got his hands on the rights to do so, but realized the average person wouldn’t get any of it, so he filmed a live action movie and spliced in the footage.

Production art I did in late-2024 of SQUIM on the Smiling Friends episode "Squim Returns"! I just adore this character and I had so much fun drawing him! Once again, huge thanks to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for having me design this critter! 🤪
He holds a special place in my heart!

Just a random rough animation I did the other day of my design of Allan from Smiling Friends! 🧀
I've done animation off and on just for fun as a hobby within the last 20 years! (I made my first flipbook in 2004!) I like to practice with doing these short clips to try and improve more at it! :D

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

Its usually around this time of the year in its anniversary that I replay Skyrim, but if I do I think I got to make art based on my play sessions to spice things up.
Or find out how I install mods.

Here’s my controversial take:
If you’re storyboard reads more like a flip-book and less like a comic, it’s NOT a storyboard. It’s an animatic. They’re two completely different things that require two different skills and mindsets

Please, PLEASE be more accurate to the comic and don't chicken out on the pro-anarchy themes in the comic.
A live-action ‘V FOR VENDETTA’ TV series is in the works at HBO.
James Gunn will exec produce the series.

Watching Over the Gardenwall while it’s on Hulu and I couldn’t help thinking to myself “man, I wish we could get more cartoons that had this kind of atmosphere, or just any cartoons in more recent time.”

I just found out my younger brother, who’s unemployed, has been selling prints and Christmas ornaments featuring AI art, and even after scolding him on why that’s bad, he gave such shitty excuses on why he thinks that’s okay.
I’ve never been so disappointed in one of my family members man.
