Perhaps Fortnite has lost a bit of its cultural foothold considering my timeline isn’t 90% people talking about their public server stress test that just finished that drops you into one of their Unreal Engine example maps with a broken level transition that soft-locks you inside the starting room.

I'm thinkin' nothing until I actually play the game.
@somecallmejohnny.com So, what have you been thinking about the new footage involving the Galactic Federation troops that are on the same planet as Samus in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond?

I’ve got a movie Rosalina voice actress I’d like to see in mind, but I need to find a good clip of her speaking in the right voice for me to not come off as crazy.

Here's one of the two scenes I made for the recently premiered "Chicken Little: Rehatched." Tried some different styles than what I'm used to, even did some light voice acting!
If you're interested, the full collab is out on YouTube, though these two are my only scenes. Viewer discretion advised.

I'm off the internet for about an hour and Halo 1 (Remake #3) is coming to PS5. My bad or you're welcome. You choose.

Alright, another singular scene all blocked out for project 3. Here's the timeline of my keyframes. Not all of the scenes are this long but... Uh... Still painful!

Continuing my work on an Avatar: The Last Airbender collaboration project currently in development. For this scene, I'm evoking the style of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Animation and icebergs are intended to still need work and I need to add the wake, but I think it's coming together!

Little animation I made the other day with my space crew all together. I've animated Coriander and Umlaut before, but I think this is the first time I've animated Teigh and I can already tell I'll have fun animating her in unique ways in the future.

Grease Pencil is a powerful tool that can be used in Blender to add 2D drawings to 3D environments.

I don’t have the data on it, but surely KPop Demon Hunters has the fastest turnaround time from introduction to Fortnite inclusion now. Maybe some viral TikTok dance has them beat but getting a full set of skins and emotes as well as in game weapons, items, and mode, surely the effort offsets that.

About as perfect casting as you can get for a very specific and underrated Spider-Man villain. Loved his work on Black Lightning, I know he’ll crush it here.

Got a bingo. Was an alright Direct. Felt like it was either the best Direct ever or the worst one ever depending on your franchise preferences. Nice that Galaxy 2 has finally made it over, still super excited for Tomodachi Life and Prime 4, and the Virtual Boy is wild. But also where was Splatoon?

Last-minute Nintendo Direct predictions. I know there are rumors and leaks out and about, but I'm keeping my board relatively uninfluenced.
Also, a good amount of carryover from my April Direct predictions. Feel like they'll happen here too.

Annoyed that others beat me to point out that this will be the first non-system showcase Nintendo Direct to go over an hour. Why am I keeping a spreadsheet on Nintendo Direct stats if not to deliver this trivia?
(The answer is for a future project, but social media clout should also be part of it.)

So was all that “Not really a Superman sequel, but he plays a big role” just messing with people, an early idea he scrapped, somehow there’s a non-Superman-sequel in between now and “Man of Tomorrow,” or if Lex is the focus does that count as “not really a sequel?”

Blender's 2D drawing Grease Pencil objects are normally unaffected by translucent objects in front. I previously manually tinted mine, but today I found a compositing setup to do it!

Coming up with more concepts for aliens for Coriander's universe. Still tying to mix and match elements to make them feel like living characters, but also more alien than you'd find elsewhere.
