Stumbled upon the comic after a post of yours had me going "...wait is that chloe?" and I cannot be more excited to read more. Thank you so much for bringing them into another story!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

It's REAL hard to get out of the distance of his swings, and the throwing needles aren't enough to kill him either. I managed by getting him to burrow and pop out, then I'd hit him and run REALLY far until he would burrow again. Rinse & repeat for a while. But an upgrade makes him much more doable

As someone who SOMEHOW managed to beat him when I first found him after many MANY many many tries. Yeah, there's an upgrade later that would make him still tough but fair. Trying to beat him when you first find him is. Ridonkulous. Learn from me

Would you say that this is a product of storyboarding being more creatively intensive, in your experience? Being part of telling a story vs executing someone else's verbatim (with granular details having leeway)

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always

Rough key animation by Hayao Miyazaki for a sequence in "Kiki's Delivery Service".
The drawings come from an auction set (I like to save these images).

Our feature reference today is this brilliant page of VISUAL WEIGHT COMPARISONS for SWORDS - so useful to think of these weights when drawing your characters wielding weapons, as weight will affect POSE, GESTURE and MOBILITY within battle!

Fanart of Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long from RWBY.  Blake has her arm around both Weiss and Yangs waist while Ruby is giving a piece sign. They're all wearing colour coded shirts with their respective initials printed on the backs and matching booty shorts that read "God won't let us die".

This was a long way of saying that we got EXTREMELY lucky with all of the amazing people that joined. Inspiration and motivation can snowball like that sometimes. I'll be forever grateful! There are many universes out there where we weren't so fortunate.

I wish you that luck on your projects too!

I couldn't shut up about the project to anyone who would listen. I think I'm partially responsible for a huge scope creep on the anim team size, as a lot of fellow professional friends offered to get involved and help out once they heard or saw what we had cooking
