Another #IndieAnimationDay already? I'm pleased to report that I've completely finished my animatic for Act I of the #Minitaur pilot and am now making sets, props, and shots! If you're an animator or especially a voice actor please follow along as I may need help there soon!

Sleeping an extra hour kinda nice, we should slow the rotation of the Earth just enough that every day is 25 hours. I’m sure that would be fine and have no adverse side effects.

All this 3d modeling and rigging has been great but sometimes it's great to just get back to some good ol' sketchy 2D thumbnail boards while you're plotting things out.

Rigs are coming along nicely! I am definitely not used to tails and digitigrade legs but got some IK versions going that I'm happy with and think are going to be very easy to animate!

Simple hair rig! I don't want it to add secondary action dynamically but I still like having a little automatic gravity that I can adjust as I see fit.

Hey #indieanimationday. I’m making a goofy three minute short in Blender, and I hope to make more things like it.

Finished a script! Which means I'm out of excuses and have to start doing art for it now. Considering streaming some work for it this week, dunno if anybody still watches that sort of thing.

Why are the new crop of AI comics so *brown*? I appreciate that it's doing it so consistently as it makes it much easier to spot at a glance, but it's like they're intentionally adding an artificial filter to make everything look like an old scan.

Alright, nap time's over! I have officially rolled off of my retakes gig over at Shadowmachine which is very bittersweet. If anyone has leads on animation / retakes work, I would appreciate it! In the meantime, it's time to get back to workin' on my own stuff! Wake up, Fred, you've got a job to do!!

Was pulling out of my garage to head to work this morning when I saw something suspicious on our property. It seems we’ve been tagged by a vicious local gang; some of which may be killers.

Were I the richest man in the world and somehow concerned with corporate ownership and messaging in art and media, I would simply give out grants to independent artists.

Wow spotted my first AI grifter over here! Thought about leaving a snarky comment but just muted and went back to looking at cool art by artists instead.
