Truly this company just keeps showing how little it cares about it's user-base. I dropped Adobe when the AI stuff was coming out but I always hoped they'd get it together. Seems they still do not care for the creators who pay to use their programs. It's just hit after hit of untrustworthiness
Adobe appears to have reversed course on this. Animate is safe, at least for the immediate future.

Hi again, #portfolioday!
I'm a storyboard and comic artist based in Brooklyn, NY with 10+ years in animation. Previously at Titmouse as a storyboard rev, now looking for work in animation, comics, or illustration. I'm also done a lot of commercial work and produced an original comic for Webtoon!

A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org
This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

Second pass of thumbnails aka actually drawing them digitally instead of just in a sketchbook is going well. I forgot how much I love this loosey goosey stage

A very "first pass" design for characters for my personal project comic. Think "southwest Route 66 fantasy". They just need a lot of cleaning up and probably some simplification in their style so I don't die finishing this project

Sometimes you start drawing no problem, and other times you have to force yourself over the hump to realise for upteenth time that you do in fact love drawing

(1/2) I've been illustrating the girls from House (1977) with limited palettes because the iconography in that film is very fun and it is spooky season after all. Enjoy some doomed teens!
