Seeing what a real piece of shit Marty is was one of the most sad things I've experienced in my life regarding art. Often, the people tooting their own horn the loudest, are the ones that keep quiet that their success came from collaboration.

Ah, man. I constantly get those scenarios in my head for things I would love to animate, though it's always the voices that, funnily enough, rarely fit in in those scenarios for me.
For hobbyist animation stuff, also realized drawing a storyboard helps miles in visualizing motion and stuff.

I love your comics. One moment is off-the-wall, absurd insanity. Others, it's beautiful philosophy.

I think... as a kid, my experience was learning by drawing what I wanted to draw. Experience and skill only came after, when I slowly wanted to improve my technique. As Kili said, observation also goes a long way. Before you do something right, you need to know where it fails.

Ah! I knew this one looked familiar.
This one appears on Terry Jones' Medieval Lives series, when explaining the feudal farm system, a nobleman echoes he thinks it's a good system. And a peasant farts in reply.
"Oh, bloody peasant."

Honestly, I think this is why I've enjoyed Helldivers so much. Even Halo would be the most fun to me when played in coop. Xbox Live Multiplayer would be nasty, but even when compared with online games nowadays, most Helldivers 2 players I meet are polite.

I used to read a lot of Namir Deiter and its related webcomics back in the day, it was one of my comfort reads. I kind of miss it. I hope you and Isabel are well.

I wholeheartedly recommend the mod Halo: Combat Revolved. That Elite's story ends up appearing from the start per the book, and it ends per the book. It's also an amazing lore+gameplay mod.
Either way, his story is him dying a more humiliating death than Cpt. Ahab...

If they really do try that, I hope they sue the pants off Microsoft.

As a matter of fact, from what I heard, they are FORCING employees to use AI. The people working there hate it, don't see much use to it, and feel it as a hindrance...
...but executives want to hear Microsoft is not being left behind, and using the thing nobody finds that useful.

Even Laura Fryer, a veteran at Xbox that keeps a level head, is just as pissed by what is happening to the brand right now.

Technically they do, they're Utahraptors, or Deinonychus. They just changed the names for the movie to make them threatening.
That said, I've gained a love for the actual feathery, pretty killing machines that were turkey velociraptors.

My favorite are the Sangheili for the knightly motifs, but I genuinely find Unggoy fascinating due to them being fascinated by our culture. Sometimes I think that, had it not been for the Covenant, they would've been hyped to do cultural exchange.

At this rate, I'm optimistic that we'll get Blackadder Back & Forth 2 earlier by a few millenniums.

"AI should be taking the boring jobs and let humans make the art."
This has been my thought all along.
Likewise, Steve Downes and Jen Taylor are core parts of Halo. They deserve proper protection and compensation for all they've given us, just like programmers and videogame makers.

Cripes, finally. Stuntmen are unironically the unsung heroes of the industry, and it's a crime they are brushed over and ignored in favor of some spoiled rich idiot.

Yeah... this is the reason I'm scared of watching One Piece. I only followed DragonBall mythos because I was a little kid when I saw the very first episode, and they had a lot of episodes to go daily.

I saw the short a while ago. I really loved it! This art style really fits the vibes of comedic fantasy it has.
