Tubi has this AMAZING documentary called “Pencils vs. Pixels”, all about CG phasing out hand drawn animation.

As someone who still finds really well done 2D animation the most incredible thing possible, this documentary is fascinating!

100% recommended to everyone!

Hi #portfolioday, I'm David! I'm a writer & editor! Currently looking for comics writing work (licensed or original--I've got pitches, webcomics okay, NSFW okay) and long-term employment in editorial or a related gig! Hire me!

The A cover to Transformers Wreckers: Tread & Circuits by Jack Lawrence and Candice Han depicting the "IDW2" version of the Wreckers. They're showing off for the cameras. Clockwise: Thunderclash, Ricochet, Minerva, Circuit, Aileron, and Hot Shot. One of several Transformers projects I wrote. I also edited the entire line of Transformers comics for several years.

The cover to the Eisner-Award Winning Godzilla 70th Anniversary book, by E.J. Su who also has a fantastic story inside. Godzilla is destroying a town and chomping on a train. In the background, a silhouette of light in the destruction makes a giant 70. A comic I co-edited with Jake Williams at IDW (and one story edited by Jamie S. Rich). I was the Godzilla editor for a bit working on other titles as well.

The cover to Power Rangers Prime #5 (which makes the Pink Ranger look more purple than he really is). Depicting the Prime team. Clockwise from top: Red, Yellow, Black, Pink, and Blue! Art by Dan Mora. I am also the former Rangers editor at BOOM! Studios.

The cover to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2022 Free Comic Book Day special. Art by Adam Bryce Thomas featuring Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. I was the editor on Sonic at IDW from 2018-2023, as well as writing some additional materials for the book, including a recap back-up story in this very issue!

I know I haven’t streamed in a minute. My apologies for that.

I’ve actually been working on a bunch of things (cleaning my office/making assets/organizing and cataloging various project files etc)

Needless to say, my bad, and I aim to be back soon to annoy you all some more.

End transmission.

Yep! They apparently have a bunch of stuff planned across a few years.

I got my fingers crossed for an animated movie!

One of the most important characters in fiction.

A symbol of hope, strength, and nobility.

An example of always being true to yourself, no matter what.

Also, Superman is here as well.

Hopefully after this, I can take a break from the yellow dude and focus on other stuff. A modding acquaintance of mine discovered super early levels for the Truth or Square game, strangely on the PSP version. Welp, I wanted to briefly explore these levels. youtu.be/Y5I1uM5CZmA

EVEN MORE Truth or Square Beta Levels Have Been Found!

Instead of being able to see multiple rows with 6ish things to watch in each of them, whatever show the cursor is currently on takes up about 80% of the screen in a giant box.

Dumb as fuck

I fucking hate Netflix’s and Tubi’s redesigns.

We don’t need one massive fucking box showing one thing!
