Whoever uploaded my original Yume Nikki anniversary drawing to Yumebooru I love you
One of the most important things you lose when using GenAI is collaboration. Collaborative art forms like film are fun to make precisely because bouncing your ideas off of other people is one of the best ways to organically refine your ideas.
@shanareviews.bsky.social since you refused to actually *watch* my video, here are the exact talking points I go over. The entire video DEFENDS indie projects and indie creators, and REFUTES fans who dictate what a creator's project should / shouldn't be, while still being normal about critique.
Indie creators shouldn’t have to turn into emotionless cryptids that appear once in a blue moon to share their works and otherwise have no online presence in order to survive *checks notes* creating a popular cartoon. But I don’t know how else they’re supposed to navigate this bullshit.
Flowtapirkenuinely (flow state + lowkey + low taper fade + charlie kirk + genuinely) I should get into the habit of colouring and rendering my random character sketches more often just so I have more stuff to post on my art socials beyond random OC requests I get from time to time lmao
Goonslop, Goonkino, all that matters is that I'm Goon-ing Such is the way in the life of a Goon
If Democrats win 2028 they won't even have a year to fix everything before climate change becomes irreversible. We need revolution and we need it now.
“We’ve targeted this content for being sexually gratifying” Did you hear that, guys? Gratification is bad now, no art that conjures positive feelings anymore. You can only look at stuff that makes you feel like shit
Alright WE'RE LIVE~~~ just what the world needs, aNOTHER Yume Nikki video But it'd mean a lot to me if u saw it 🥺 Link in reply
I feed my kids water from the hose every day, just to make sure Gen X and Millenials have no unique cultural signifiers 🙏
Our Kickstarter campaign is officially live! 💜💚 Please consider pledging to help us make this cartoon a reality! Retweets and shares are greatly appreciated! 🤞🏾
Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.
Today's an international holiday, folks! It's the 20th anniversary of Neil banging out the tunes! #PetRats #NeilBangingOutTheTunes
The biggest issue with indie is that animation is inherently expensive and generally unprofitable unless targets the widest audience imaginable (hence why it’s almost always exclusively kids films). But a decentralized culture that shouts out and supports smaller projects would be amazing!
Basically, I don’t want people to have to go through Glitch if they want their films seen in theatres. That quite literally was the exact problem that the studio system created. No amount of playing ‘benevolent dictator’ could fundamentally fix that issue.
Bad future: Glitch becomes a distributor and ends up recreating the issue of the studio system Good future: Glitch helps normalize independent art being released theaters and helps it become a cultural mainstay
