Firefox now lets you disable AI — just not regular users

Mozilla now lets enterprises disable AI in Firefox. Regular users must rely on hidden about:config tweaks instead of a simple switch.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I do think Invincible is the best one presented here as it actually matches the later style of Cory Walker who was Invincible's first artists & designed a majority of the characters.

The dcau is kinda weird as much of it was based on the new 52 and specifically Jim Lee's style

Least with it, it originally WAS an anime along with the fottage from other shows it spliced in, as later on with Robotech, with everything afterwards being original series.

Funny enough only took Rangers until relatively recently to make wholly original footage and as you can guess. Much desired

Honestly besides op using She-Ra as an example of "queerwave", can't really think of any examples. Like yeah they'd fit the faux anime stuff though they're pretty direct with anime being an influence rather than hiding it & yeah they can be prettu gay, they wouldn't really fit the description

Granted this can be applied to a lot of the cast outside the family drama going on

Do remember when ppl were complaining when she actually DID have more of presence in the recent anime because... well its transmisogyny, let's be honest

Got the inspiration when rewatching Monster Island Buddies that had an episode with them (explaining why they have xeapons and stuff)

Recently remembered my "Extreme TrendMasters Godzilla" idea where I at least drew the kaiju cast in thumbnails though obviously haven't gotten around to an actual full piece.

Recently got Age of The Primes Megatronus and yeah I really like him. Actually just came upon him when I was at the store getting water. Do wish it was more obvious on where exactly to place his left shoulder canon considering his Dreamwave looknis the main basis for the figure

Generally need to be asked more specific takes but some non-character ones is that the weekly shonen work method is absolutely NOT what certain readers think the western comic industry needs, and ironically it has slightly better history at crediting people *cough*uncreditedmanagakaassistants*cough*

was also recently reminded of these old covers I did of Akira and Jun. Akira's unhinged jaw was based around some Darkside art and some renders advertising the Ps1 Devil game coming out at the time.

solarzillarider.bsky.social @solarzillarider.bsky.social · 17d

The hard part of drawing Akira in devil form is that I usually prefer to draw his head wings & crest as being more exoskeleton-like like in Darkside & related series and deciding how much shading it should have as a result.

an another older devil piece of Akira roaring that was actually done relatively quick at the time. Teeth were mostly based on Amon's look in the first Darkside volume and just not a fan of Akira just having generic pointed teeth, so tried something more realistic.

solarzillarider.bsky.social @solarzillarider.bsky.social · 17d

Akira's pants were also based on some that had bat wings attached to them. Way back I had a digital sketch of him wearing them but never finished.

solarzillarider.bsky.social @solarzillarider.bsky.social · 17d

Came up with the idea of reading some Spawn stuff (issue numbers at the bottom) and another idea of whether animals would be scared of him, The Omen style, or some drawn to him because of Amon's own demonology traits.

Akira with Amon's Beasts

Akira with various animals that the original Amon from Demonology associated with, Snakes, Wolves, and various birds tho decided to go with ravens. Also going for a design more similar to Akira's pre-amon look from crybaby.
