Don't be so sure. Guaranteed if Uncle Chud can whip out a "lived experience" in his healthcare rant over xmas dinner in 2024, "asymmetric privilege" won't be far behind.

Getting carried away with reflection in the shadows. I could play with these colours all day... Time to put it down!

Wtf. Turning Red is all about universally relatable experiences that NEVER get addressed in any other kids' content out of Hollywood. The East Asian perspective of the experience elevates it to a shining example of how to use identity as a contextual bridge instead of just storytelling "flavour".

I haven't used Affinity for a while, but since 2.0 came out, it's been acquired by Canva. Hopefully their new marketing people will do a better job of putting pro workflows in their promotional material.

Have you seen any efficient workflows for Affinity? Are you lettering over the flattened panels?

You are a highly responsible, organized and diligent individual. Well done.

Many, many thanks for sharing the development story behind the art. It's personal and inspiring.

Creativity question: in your art journey, how long was it before you found your groove with a concept like this? Was there a point where you felt like focusing on plant creatures exclusively?
