In Heth for Dima, I took idea of lightning bugs and a terrarium and made Light Mites. In exchange for food/housing they'll live there and provide infinite light as long as the colony can thrive. They only need some dry sand and minor foliage.

More animation practice, of course. Obsessed right now.

How do you get that crisp ring around the edge? My Nanny used to make hers like that, albeit smaller, and I've not been able to replicate. Are they cooked in oil?

It will! Especially if you allow yourself to sway and flex. Might get a squishy mat for your feet though!

I had one at my previous job, and I stood half the work day without conscious effort. It became a natural preference!

The hard part is not leaning on one leg a lot tho 🤔

I watched 3000 Years of Longing last night, a gem I stumbled upon (I don't pay attention to recent movies). Some of the CGI was weird, but I'd much rather a few bits be haphazardly done by real people than shoddy AI portions in movies 😢

Humans need humans. And if you don't have money you can't pay for a lot of services that you NEED. It's a damning world sometimes. Nonetheless, I wouldn't bring children into it now even if I wanted them. Too unstable and greedy. I'll lend a hand to help other kids tho. Plus I have my cats... 😁😅 4/4

There to take care of you when old, but I know I love MY parents enough to wipe their ass & spoon feed them if the time comes (much to their dismay). I fear being stuck in a nursing home with abusive 'caretakers'. Since I suck at making friends, I fear having no support network when old. 3/

But she's a realist & understands that you can't live your life just to please others. I came from a very close, loving family, so I am sad I can't pass that down to NC a lot of kids don't have that. I also worry for my future that I won't have anyone to help- and I'm not saying kids are only 2/

In that boat. Never desired to have my own, always wanted to adopt. Life took me down a road where it wasn't an option for either. I don't desire it, my older sister didn't either. We both regret not for the sake of our mom who would have been a wonderful grandmother. We know it makes her sad 1/

Only 1 rich old lady that was truly a gem so much so that I personally walked her to the store next door to buy a binder, so we could organize every newspaper cutting /certificate of her grandson's. She wore a fur coat, pearls, like 1920s classic.

The rest were rich in all the wrong ways 😅 2/2.

2 jobs ago, I worked in a gift shop in the "print shop" where I had to typeset invitations and print on Hallmark cards/stationery.

The rich old women who would pull up a chair and sit beside me for 40 mins micromanaging my type setting on COREL DRAW for brunch /baby shower/ wedding invites 🥲 1/

Coincidentally, I was just talking about adv. English class yesterday. How several of my English teachers really taught me how to research and be thorough. To give citation (credit) where due.

In relation to today where society's ability to research, comprehend, and fact check are nonexistent.

AI would never have been viable had it trained on stock images & common license work, or was subject to follow the law with consent, credit, and compensation.

What's sad is it started creeping in a decade ago but no legislation, and then almost seemingly overnight was shoved down our throats.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Your art is adorable and youthful...it has that magical, colorful (albeit less neon) magnetism to it that Lisa Frank art had for kids!

I would have swooned over a back to school aisle of your art lol 💜 (and I love it as an adult of course 🤭).

MMWoodcock @mmwoodcock.bsky.social · 4d

I mean this as a compliment, but I wish I were a kid again, and you were the 'Lisa Frank' of my youth!

All the stationery, pencils, stickers, folders, backpacks, posters, holographicsss ✨😩

(I know Lisa Frank is sus as a business owner, but the art had a huge impact nevertheless! Core memory!)

True Grit Texture Supply is yummy. They have a free sample pack from newsletter sign up, but I paid $12 to get a PDF license to use them commercially and have since bought many more packs!

They have great preview images to get a good idea of what you're getting! I looove texture 😁

Great thread on a long-time tracer and grifter.

I didn't know him before his scandal, but I know him now in his true form which is even better cause i don't have to feel disappointed over another 'artist' being a lousy scammer.

Seemingly through his /entire/ career. 😐

Ki @ SHOP IS OPEN ✨ @gawki.bsky.social · 6d

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

A long 🧵

MMWoodcock @mmwoodcock.bsky.social · 5d

You'd think with ppl who work at Disney or are over like the historical aspect of Disney would recognize pose copies at least. Or raise eyebrows.

Why did he get away with SO much fanart anyway? He's not the only dude to work at Disney.

Great thread! I hope he accepts losing his 'career'. 2/2

MMWoodcock @mmwoodcock.bsky.social · 5d

I say this w/ my full chest & voice:WHAT A FUCKING LOSER.

Also, did him working with Disney somehow give him access to images/archives/files to copy? How did no one recognize?

I know some original cells and concepts are scanned on internet, but some of these images seem archival or gifts. 1/
