But to artificially create that, whether through CG or A//I? Booooooo.

This is where I have to exercise my negotiation skills. Cuz he’s going for funding, big funding, and I want him to be true to this art, god dammit.

Who’s gonna model that in CG? Who’s gonna take a pass at a fingerprint look treatment? If you say A//I, I will spit on you. The very thing that makes stop motion so beautiful are the traces of actual humanity in it. Finger prints. Shifting hair and fur. Stuttering poses. How imperfect it is.

I’m a firm believer in stories being able to inform the type of animation you do, much like how if you’re gonna make an animated show, you make it ANIMATED.

And what this guy is pitching is great, it’ll be beautiful in stop motion. REAL stop motion. He said he loves seeing finger prints in clay.

Buhhhh I can’t stop staring at this! Like I can really feel the weight in Twi’s hips and the way he’s trying to pull her up and aaahhhhhhh

HEHEHEHHEHEEEEE I absolutely DARE you to try to play Hollow Knight.

Running right alongside you, lovely. 💖

WHO IS GONNA HAVE GIVEN MERCH AT AX I STG I WILL BUY IT ALL

If anyone has a show or manga similar… plz. Feed me.

Anyways, the long awaited SK8 the Infinity OVA is out (since April), and I narrowly managed to catch the last [given] movie premiering in theaters and I am completely re-obsessed and cried a little in my car listening to the music.

I have Etsy! I’d say it’s middle passive once you’re all set up. I don’t have the time to advertise on social media consistently so I like that it’s a marketplace. The fees can be pretty high for sure, but I like that Etsy collects and remits sales tax on my behalf, which is worth the fees (imo).

And part 2 cuz that’s just how much stuff I made!

Wish me luck on the tumblers and the ridiculously XXL tote bag; those I press by hand but I’m also the most excited for those!

And the Witch Hat sticker sheet, that makes me giggle.
