I can not emphasize how much this is a movie worth seeing in the theater and how badly I want it to do well. If you're a fan of something meticulously & lovingly crafted, it's Wildwood. If you like animation, you 1000% need to go. There is just such great acting choices & beautiful movement in this.

Strong word of mouth is giving ‘Wildwood’ a lift at the domestic box office. Its second Sunday outgrossed its first by 2%, pushing the weekend to $9 million and beating projections. Laika’s latest fell just 27% in its second frame, reaching $27.4 million. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

I made some pajama pants for Atlas! My husband and I sometimes just hang out and be silly in our home world, so it felt right to give my boar something comfy to wear with those cozy, lazy Sunday vibes hehe

I'm so fucking done with all the AI shit that I'm seriously considering throwing my whole career in the garbage and trying to find some job out of reach of all this shit. I just can't. AI has completely destroyed a job that I loved and the years I spent building a career.

Feeling a bit soft today, not sure why. Was just thinking about how insecure I felt about yesterday's drawing, but the comments were so positive and full of great feedback. Just really grateful people like my doodles and take the time to leave such kind words. Thank you all 🙂

Someone just told me this pic made them think of a very specific scene: a road trip that started before dawn, hours later, when the sun begins to rise, pulling into a roadside diner’s parking lot for breakfast freezeing their asses off. Now I’m curious. Does this drawing evoke a scene for you too?

I've been getting a bit tired of my drawing workflow. I feel like my style relies heavily on lineart and makes certain lighting effects harder to pull off. So I decided to experiment and rely less on lineart... I really want to know what you think. I'm still deciding...

I always wish I could feel the same joy about things that others feel. A new blockbuster movie... A game everyone was waiting for... A cool art/artist on social media everyone LOVES... And my brain says: Absolutely nothing... Ever... And it's hard to lie each day just to not sound like an asshole.

The World Cup has become a global marketing virus. Every app, every ad, every brand thinks I give a shit. I fucking don't. Can't wait for this shit to be over so the world can have a personality again. We had AI slop, now we have World Cup slop.

My dog discovered that curtains are apparently just vertical blankets and she's been proving this theory every day for the last week.

Hey! You all! Quick! Reply to this post with your favourite art featuring your fursona! THERE'S NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS! (also, don't forget to credit the artist, please ^^)

This week has been fcking insane. Mod update: - 2-heart event is developed (pending i18n). - Made a few more assets. - Wrote the entire 1-heart event script. I think these posts keep me motivated more than anything else, but I'm glad if you enjoy following along!

Since I've been having fun with pixel art for Rowan's sprites, I wanted to try my hand with Atlas too. My moose is next! 👀 (Probably I should make the brown hair lines a little darker. What do you think? 🤔)

*sighs* okay, day 2 without ADHD meds. Spent 30 minutes staring at my screen unable to continue a task, incredibly frustrated because I couldn't remember why I was unable to continue the task. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop, maxed out CPU usage, and produced no output. I'm exhausted.

Today's progress! - Rowan won't spawn until the story prerequisites are met. - Rowan is now following proper daily schedules and moving around the map. - The new map changes depending on where you are in Rowan's storyline. - The first story event is fully implemented and working.

SO. TODAY WAS WILD. Remember when I said that I messed up with the portraits resolution? The thing is that SV requires each portrait to be 64x64 and I drew them at 96x96 (don't ask). Since it's pixel art, downscaling would make the image turn into nonsense. Today I redrew ALL the 27 portraits.

It's hot as fuck and I just remembered that I have tickets for a 4-day metal festival in August. Past me really looked at the calendar and said "yeah, spending 4 days headbanging under the sun in the hottest month of the year sounds like a plan" Excellent decision-making. ... And yet I'm hyped.

Okay. So. Today's update. - Finished the basic walking sprites and their variants. - Managed to put the NPC inside the game and make it spawn - Sprites work correctly! Now, the bad news: I'll have to redraw all the portraits. I messed up the resolution and there just isn't a fix for it.
