The name is still Erk (Tootern M.) and the stuff I specialize in includes art of all kind (sketches, finished drawings, & paintings) alongside animation. I plan on working more on my own cartoons alongside helping others with their work

Make sure to help her please I know pass keys are necessary but any advice to secure her is appreciated
Sooooo a few nasty parasites posted my legal name and previous address in my chat.
Not really sure how to deal with this kind of thing, doing my best to clean up and secure as much as I can. Getting a VPN and specialty email to see if that helps for the future.
I was having fun too.. 😭

of all the episodes "squim returns" might just be the one with the strongest sense of energy and timing
it's the most the show has embodied its' "classic cartoon cartoon/nicktoon, but tv-ma" appeal to date

I honestly think that the thing I love most about "Smiling Friends" is how often it demonstrates that a change in animation techniques for a character or a scene or whatever can in and of itself be the best gag you can conceive - and proving you don't necessarily have to be in the know to 'get it'.
Production art I did in late-2024 of SQUIM on the Smiling Friends episode "Squim Returns"! I just adore this character and I had so much fun drawing him! Once again, huge thanks to Zach Hadel, Michael Cusack, and Aron Fromm for having me design this critter! 🤪
He holds a special place in my heart!

It's kinda a testament to how the principles that make up the medium and are constantly undervalued by the studio system, are so innate to human psychology that they are able to click with audiences even if you know next to nothing about the actual process.

He:
- Set the foundation for what’s known as the “rubber hose” style
- Invented looping backgrounds
- Redesigned Felix the Cat and integrated the rubber-hose style into his cartoons
- Formed the earliest known animators union
Coupled with a sick style, they should talk about him more in the books!

Youve just reminded me of something Ive been wanting to talk about for a while. I’m unsure if Grim Natwick redesigned Willie, but it’s part of a surprising trend where he drew plus-size characters as being very beautiful in their own right and/or in very strong relationships with their partners

Just found out that according to Tom Sito’s 2005 article for Animation World Network, “The Disney Strike of 1941: How It Changed Animation & Comics.”, Grim Natwick, Shamus Culhane, Al Eugster, and a couple other Iwerks staff secretly formed a brief Union around 1932 or so!

something i’ve noticed recently is that rightwingers have been ramping up trying to make furries a new front in their social culture war and i’m not sure that’s going to work especially because it’s purely a social hobby
