hi! i'm an animation professional who doesn't draw enough outside work. when i do, half the time it's something activisty. sometimes i do fan art, too.

Drawing of a clenched fist holding a carabiner attached to a chain wrapped around the wrist. in the background are old growth trees. The text reads "SAVE FAIRY CREEK"

Drawing of an enormous excavator looming over a bottle depot, a small apartment building, and a house. The text reads "STOP PORT LIVING! DEFEND BROADWAY-CAROLINA"

Fan art of Walther Caspari's "The Demon of Discord" (1899). A woman with long black hair walks away from a pile of skulls in a barren landscape. In the distance are tall skinny trees with spiked balls at the top.

Fan art of Anakin Skywalker with his hair on fire. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan look on in shock, they are surrounded by blaster fire and the 501st Clone Army. Based on a "chaotic night club" photo.

Right?? I have a friend who is so completionist that he won't play newer games until he plays the predecessors- but it takes him forever to play even one game. I'm so sad he's just going to miss... everything. There's so much incredible stuff coming out all the time! Too much stuff even!!

I hope this helps someone, but I left it in my notebook about the effect of art becoming interesting.

Oh he is amazing!!

anyway I'm also available for tips :)

yep! typically you're gonna want to put things on different layers within the symbol so they're easier to edit later, but it's not necessary. Basically every symbol has its own nested timeline. You'll want to make sure it's a Graphic (not Movie Clip) and set to Loop in its properties.

The days of the weird goth kid making analog photos as a hobby are gone except for the ones who are also rich

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 1d

i know that contemporary DSLRs can and do take very beautiful photos but the colour and the film grain in these babies is gorgeous and i feel like a big merit to analog media here is that you get all that cool stuff basically for free (once you know what an f-stop is etc)

basically if you're a retro-gamer and you haven't played UFO 50 what are you doing (i get through games very slowly and i'm not a "retro-gamer" anyway so i haven't, but come on now)

I feel like I've posted this sentiment before but sometimes I'll see a meme that's like "bring back this era of games" and all I can think is "it never left! Look in your steam discovery queue or something! Those games are still being made!"

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah! Commit to the bit!

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 1d

Nothing wrong with retro gaming but I feel like there is a part of the "fandom" that just want to wallow in nostalgia instead of play one of the many many games that are put out month after month that are operating in the exact genres they're pining over

Or just play the old games and be happy!

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Unusual occasion for a Bambi vs Godzilla reference

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah... eventually I have taken to just saying "selected projects" or whatever and only listing the ones that are more relevant / flashiest haha (I mean, you are doing similar in some of them, which works fine)

Yeah, rebuilding the domestic industry beyond simply service work is going to have to be the way forward, but every broadcast/streaming business model is real busted right now. It's gonna be a long struggle to find something really workable again

Looking for the return of The Teletoon Model in which shows got government funding and they could be made start-to-finish up here

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 2d

I also had the privilege of doing some work on the opening title sequence of this show too- the scene in the thumbnail (i animated Kevin, Armando, and Cupcake in that shot)

christopher linoleum @scribblechris.bsky.social · 2d

Hey, that show I worked on has been announced! You wouldn't be able to tell from the write-up that this is a real raunchy comedy 😅

Jason Schwartzman, Aubrey Plaza, Whoopi Goldberg, Amy Sedaris Among Cast In Prime Video’s Animated Series ‘Kevin’

Prime Video has set cast for its adult animated series Kevin, written and executive produced by Aubrey Plaza, who also will star, and Joe Wengert.

On the plus side there is, as yet, no movement towards any AI adoption within studios, and if we're lucky the whole edifice will collapse before that becomes a genuine risk

Yeah, it's not ideal. But it's based on what TAG was able to get in their latest collective agreement (ie. we only got as much as we did because they got that) - and that was the most they could get from AMPTP who basically wouldn't budge at all. And there just wasn't the leverage for a strike
