Fun tip. If you pay your artists they keep letting you be their customer.
I want artist friends because my intentions are to pay them for their skills because I love art and I like hyping them up. Nerds.
Since this is being talked about on the other site it needs to be talked about here because everyone needs to hear this.

You do not deserve artists as your friends if your intentions of being their friends are to get free art out of them.

Day 328!
Zoom at cursor works ~sometimes~ this is the closest I've been able to get it after like 3 days of screaming into the void. Which means it's time for a few 0 days because my brain is cinnamon toast crunch right now.

People love fantasy weapons and the fun part a lot of them are just ideas that didn't work out but where very much tried or simply done cos they could and looked cool to have and plenty of real world examples to learn from. #reference

Just ordered this print and another one from @davidmarquez.bsky.social website.

Between that and all the commissions im getting from my regulars this is an awesome month for art.
I LOVE THE OUTLIERS!!!!!

These new weirdos @gailsimone.bsky.social, @davidmarquez.bsky.social, Matthew Wilson have introduced in Uncanny X-Men vol 6 are all such captivating characters!

No way could I resist buying a print of them from David Marquez's website!!

Its been a few years since I did any keyframe creature animation, so my most recent personal project has been exactly that :)

I referenced Daniel Fotheringham’s quadruped blog quite a bit while learning his workflow, it was a lot of fun :)

If I had 600k there would be signs because I'd be making Hella progress everyday instead of just little progress everyday. Mermaid fashion game supremacy.
February 17, 2026 at 5:43 PM
Utterly devoid of all creative passion.

For 30k I know exactly what I'd be asking all the artists to work on.

Because I already wrote it all down and gave them the lists.
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

Day 327!
Only had an hour tonight. Seems like I've almost got the map zoom on cursor working, except it seems I've inverted the vector i suppose.
I'll probably have to run a print on my desired location compared to my clamped values to see what's going on. But im lazy now.

I didn't expect @nyamakop.co.za's RELOOTED to be so educational, love it!

There's such rich history in this game that I have never known about, some of it leaning into some very dark (but important) historical territory. My Twitch chat and I were having some heavy conversations about this today.
