This looks so incredible man. Well done!!!

I don't claim any high ground here, I've worked on things that try to evoke other eras (and much less successfully, I might add)

Oh hey! I seriously didn't mean anything negative by this - it's more me trying to sound out how I feel in general about media-that-vividly-evokes-other-eras-of-media. I'm not criticising at all the intrinsic artistry of it and I don't doubt that it's a love letter to that aesthetic.

Loved Seth!! Felt very dark soulsy! Nyleth was fun, love the fights where they just take the floor away from you and it turns into an acrobatic bouncy nightmare

These boxers are *less than a year old!* Fast fashion is a blight upon the world!!

no reason i stopped using it really! i was just really into pixel art at the time. i still like doodling with the pencil tool in photoshop (the one with no anti-aliasing). not quite the same but kinda pixelart-y

me, basically:

OBVIOUSLY the artists behind orbitals have 1000000x the creativity of a braindead prompt jockey, hope that goes without saying

i'm not saying it looks like AI, and i dont even think it's necessarily that AI art has polluted my palate when seeing stuff like this. but it's undeniable that the same part of the brain that makes people type "80s style anime video of my cat" into Sora also results in this kind of thing

Echoing my peers in saying that many animated productions (including Gumball) are still made almost exclusively using Animate. Adobe is choosing to abandon those productions in order to spend more resources on gen AI slop tools that nobody wants
