Anyone else ever had that moment when you’re experimenting with your drawings and discover a new rendering style that really clicks with you? 🔥

... ... ... Do these people not realize that these GenAI slop images cheapen and diminish their work by association?

I’m happy to see folks in the wild who still talk about Little Demon. That show was really ramping up before getting axed. It was a fun show to work on and fun memories were made with a fun crew!

🩸💀 The Horror Guru 💀🩸 @thehorrorguru.bsky.social · 23d

Little Demon (2022) was an animated horror comedy show on FX that was both hilarious & gory.

It featured Lucy DeVito as Chrissy, the daughter of the Devil played by her father Danny DeVito.

Her mother Laura, a demon slaying witch, was voiced by Aubrey Plaza.

Sad news (I know how you feel) but I’m happy you got to work on something special to you and got to bond with your crew. Wishing you guys the best and hopefully landing at a cool new opportunity soon!

William Ball @willbanimating.bsky.social · 23d

Thanks for watching it! The one season we got was something special and the crew really put their all into it.

My mental health improved so much once I realized you can just enjoy a book/show/movie on its own without interacting with the online fandoms.

I know the animation industry is a tire fire right now, but both K-Pop Demon Hunters and Knights of Guinevere dropping in the same year is giving me hope
