Chloe Gendron just put out a vid showing some fantastic technical exercises for inks. I know people ask me about inking a lot so I absolutely recommend all these exercises

I said this the other day, and I have no idea why I think this, but I strongly feel that Henry is anti-fascist
Stop anthropomorphising the AI chat bots already!

In this household, we only anthropomorphise ONE piece of technology, his name's Henry and he's a valued member of this family, don't sully his good name by putting him on the same level as some chat bot!

Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

Near Dark

Speaking of Lance Henriksen, want to watch one of the most incredible vampire movies ever made? Katheryn Bigelow's Near Dark is a god damn masterpiece. Why not make it a double feature? It's also one of Bill Paxton's best performances by far, he just needs a moment of your time.

Thirst

Did you know that the director of Oldboy made a movie about a catholic priest who gets infected by vampirism, feeds off of comatose hospital patients, falls in love with his childhood friend's wife, and it all goes completely off the rails from there? Well, now you do, so you gotta see it!

Everyone should read Expiry Date. It has not left my head since I got it in the Shortbox last year and is genuinely the new rule I measure body horror against. An impeccable comic
hey hey, have no fear if you missed it last month, my horny, cronenbergian, lesbian, sci-fi, body horror comic, Expiry Date, is now available on my itch dot io! ✨🫁💃🏻🫁✨

She halted before the sphinx issued a challenge and set up camp. She hung a sign from her tent:

"The answer to the riddle - 2 silver"

After a dozen travellers had passed safely, the sphinx called out. "Do you also sell riddles?"

"I have one no man had solved."

"Will you sell it?"

"For a kiss."

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social Just watched the de-aging video on Nebula! No mention of JGL as young Bruce Willis as a selling feature of Looper? I'm curious why that practical make-up halfway point wasn't used really since. I dont recall that being jarring in 2012

A remarkable 1987 article about “Q5”, a consultancy that, i’ve now learned, seems singularly responsible for the mass bland-izing of cartoons when i was a kid. I remember the sudden and mysterious Jeanine swap-out in The Real Ghostbusters! this explains so much.

Hey for real, South Park contributed more to transphobia being normalized in the pre-Rowling era more than any other media I can think. Garrison alone.

Them doing a Trump video where he has a tiny dick and is sleeping with Satan is not something you gotta applaud them over. They're assholes.

This is so key. A real problem of writing genre is you can get tricked into thinking genre-normal is actual-normal and unmoor your characters' responses to it, which renders everything weightless nonsense.
This is, as it happens, a lot like the storytelling advice Jack Kirby once gave me. He said that as long as your characters react like real people with real feelings, then no matter how far out you get, the audience will follow you.
On the other hand, if you believe the people on the street as real-seeming people on a real-seeming street, when they say "Look, up in the sky!" and see something weird, you're more likely to buy into the weird thing as real, because the people and place and their reactions make sense.

In terms of character design:

Invincible is someone who knows only superhero stuff.

MHA is someone who knows only anime.

MHA:V is someone who knows anime and superhero stuff.

Venture Bros is someone who knows culture.

"I am actually a princess," the frog said.

"Oh no!" said the prince.

"My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me."

"Of course," said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.

"What are you doing?!"

"Kissing you, like you asked!"

"No!"

The frog hopped away, muttering.
