Honestly, I'd rather just have cooler alternative costumes and skins for the existing characters. Or I dunno, Pigma from starfox. Put Pigma in the game!
Congratulations! You have been personally chosen by the creator of Smash Bros to add ONE character into the next game. the only rule is that they have to originate from a video game. who are YOU choosing?
Had caffeine for the first time in 4 days, and just wanted to say life is beautiful. You are a beautiful. Everything is a goddam miracle. Love each other. Love this experience! You are the dance of Shiva and Shakti: beautiful effulgent energy manifesting from void and returning to void!
reliving my 10-year-old me frustrations trying to get the medals in star fox. F this man. Why make me do this menial task to play hard mode? Just give me hard mode! I already paid my dues over 20 years ago!!
I hate to turn social media engagement into a call to action but: All of the AI art I see on instagram gets me very discouraged. Anytime anyone says anything nice about my art, it's very motivating. Thank you. Let artists know what they're doing matters to you.
mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain
well damn. All caught up on watamote. Must find a new manga now
Many artists complain of an inner critic in their heads while they draw, but I have an inner @aaronlong.bsky.social in my brain sayin stuff like "stop making that so clean! Thats not indie, thats studio-system brain rot! The drawing is good, move on! No dont shade it"! I respect my inner Aaron
I dusted/washed all my figurines, and threw my plushies in the washing machine, and now they all look shiny and beautiful again!
Saw TADC Last act (no spoilers) last night and loved it. Shockingly earnest, and raw. Like a pixar film that actually really gives a fuck, and dosnt hide it's ugly with irony and jokes. Theres a lot of criticism of what "indie" animation even is, but there is a lot to be celebrated here for sure
This is good news, and I hope the animation community will show Jorge grace. Redemption is a rare thing in this day and age. I think if we want more people to stray away from using AI, we have to be a community that won't 'damn' them, eternally.
"I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series." Days after defending his involvement in Amazon’s generative AI animation initiative, Jorge Gutierrez says he is exiting the program entirely. www.cartoonbrew.com/artificial-i...
Does anyone else loop one song for the entire day, or is that just me and my wife? Genuinely asking. Some people call me crazy for it, but I'm convinced its more common
Still chipping away at this dance animation, but finally nearing the final renders
The scorching knives of summer's misery burn yonder. Though my skin boils, my heart rejoices, for it is through defiance I find freedom. I will always wear layers and layers of black clothing. Hot Goth Summer, here I come
Every remix of Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat theme) is blasphemous, as it implies there is something to improve upon the original Techno Syndrome. There is not. It is the perfect song www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr1b...

A page from my comic, Arachna Majika. The full first zine is on my patreon (for free). About to start working on the second issue
I really dig Game-o-verse. Incredibly delightful art style, funny jokes, chilling stakes. I think most of all, I'm impressed by how well it functions as a pilot. I really sense by the end that I 'know' what the show is. That is something I always find challening in my own writing. Very impressed.

The first time I watched this trailer, I anxiously thought "Oh no, what animal are they going to transform these non white protagonists into this time"? The answer, is Skrillex!
From the first trailer of "Forgotten Island" (Dreamworks Animation). Directed by Joel Crawford & Januel Mercado. Inspired by Filipino folklore. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8RH...
