Cosmos Cadets

Adventures In: Stand-up

This is the beginning of a comic that I made the past three weeks from a summer intensive class. This is my favorite project I've made from school so far and made me really fall in love with my art again

Strip one of Cosmos Cadets "Adventures In: Stand-up." Cosmos the alien standing on a stage with a spotlight beaming on his. His hands are splayed out. "So, uh, I was in this tree, and I uh, I fell out of a tree, ya see, and I uh..." Cosmos rambles. He perks up a little as he continues. "I landed on my feet in front of this real nice dame, and I says to her--." He stops speaking suddenly and hunches over while slapping a paw to his head. "Wait, crap that's not how that joke goes."

some see this as claiming that sexism motivated the elimination of inkers. to be clear, sexism wasn’t the driving factor, but the gendered construction of creative/uncreative labor had the effect of making women’s jobs more expendable than men’s. it’s not conspiratorial to call the firing sexist

the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you
A post from twitter with a screenshot from 101 Dalmatians. The caption says, “A lot of animation snobs will say that the sketchy linework of Disney movies in the 60s and 70s was sloppy and cheap, but man I adore it. The shifting outlines do just enough to remind you that every single frame of the movie was made by a human being.”

Watching a skateboard video where the answer to "how do I get over the fear aspect?" is answered with "Be playful," and it's so cool to see advice that I've given in art and animation having commonality with this very different skillset

I think we all deserve to be a bit more playful with our life!

Rodolpho leans back, flashes a peace sign, and smirks with his tongue sticking out Amber leans on a table with one arm as she squints at a piece of amethyst held between the fingers of her free hand. A light dramatically shines down upon her.

I keep forgetting to post my #artfight stuff from this year. This year was pretty fun for me, I'm pretty proud of myself for being able to do 6 pieces this time!
Leina stands in front of a brick wall. She scowls at the camera Orion has his wings splayed out, but his overall demeanor still seems closed off. His arms are crossed over his chest and he looks down at the ground. Raven floats in an abstract void, one of her eyes glows red as her mouth is agape and her arms are raised at her sides Sparkle floats in the darkness, illuminated by a single ball of light that she caresses in her hands and gazes at with a warm smile

#comics #ocsky #comicstrip #ocs
Cosmos looks offscreen with a flirty smile on his face. Cas watches on as Cosmos opens his mouth "Hahahaha, well it was nice seeing ya cutie," Cosmos says. "You know where to find me babe." Cas leans down towards Cosmos and scowls. "Can you please not flirt with the prison guards?" Cas hisses. Cosmos yells back, "STEP OFF MY GAME, INFANT!"

Sometimes I worry about trying to make it as an artist, especially now. I feel like I don’t make enough polished art for the internet bc of how much effort it takes, and even then, I rarely think to post it. I want to make it a goal to put myself out there more
