So tired of constantly being sent Aaron Blaise's work because of what I draw. Having to tell these well meaning people that I can't support his art because he's a giant asshole. Then inevitably having to explain why over and over despite not wanting to. Even shitty people can make beautiful art.
Tired bear typing reaction

Dispatch may not be for me. I commend the voice acting and writing, though. Flows naturally. Character designs are immaculate. Somewhat wish there were more monstrous lady rehabilitated villains.

The new animation uploaded today is a non-camera edited version that I needed to share to meet a deadline. I hope that, once I figure out how to navigate my softwares of choice, this will no longer occur. Enjoy my traditional animation.

If the RAM shortage is projected to worsen for at least a year due to AI, then I will prioritize my game purchases towards studios that care about game optimization. I will not burn precious space for Popular Game 3 if Little Fun Adventures can fit in there ten times over.

The beauty of storytelling in animation set me on my path that I walk now. The catalyst? Toothless saving Hiccup in HTTYD. The beauty of a beast bonded with human navigating a world not kind to them and saving one another was enough to set me on my path.

The new Bluesky logo is a surprise. Airbrushing logos are coming back in style, I suppose.

Frog story in a frog-sized book.
The photographer is mostly off-screen with fingers holding a minuscule book of fables in front of a green, black and white plush frog, made by Bark's Bog. The frog looks as if it is highly focused on reading a page announcing a fable from Jean de la Fontaine: The Frog and the Ox. The fable is in French. The photographer did not make the book. This is a real miniature book of fables with an ISBN code, unearthed anew while doing an inventory.

Snow Iris studio says "prep in advance. Remember people are going to want things before the holiday. I've got my thanksgiving themed art done already, so people can purchase and decorate in the lead up to Thanksgiving." Artfully Faith says "Keep an inventory of both finished products and raw materials. Demand spikes can be positive, but failing to meet it quickly can harm customer trust and lead to lost sales. Make sure you have enough stock and materials to maintain supply." Vexus says "I keep costs down by offering stickers, prints and other small or thin products so shipping is as affordable for all parties as much as possible." Sam Be Awesome says "it's never too early to prepare. Having things done, organized and ready to go early can relieve a lot of stress. I use a calendar and notepads to help stay organized with to-do lists and schedules so I don't forget."
