Nothing quite like spending a large but normal amount of money on something and immediately feeling massive amounts of anxiety over it

If I may pat myself on the back for a moment, I think one of the greatest creative decisions I ever made was making the investors in @meansofdestruction.bsky.social eldritch gods. Every time I research corporate or financial jargon for them, I feel like I learned something unfathomable and inhuman.

I've rebuilt the QUEST CHEFS PITCH DECK from the ground up, just in time to submit it to festivals! Over the next few weeks I'll be posting more of the pages for you all to enjoy. Looks like Rosbif caught Crouton while she was... supposed to do her chores 😅 #indieanimation #questchefs

I've been really busy writing, boarding, and preparing for a pitch session lately, but I took the time to update the art for my business cards! #QuestChefs #IndieAnimation

Please be kind.

imagine if asian cultures were real so we could ask them for art direction

I don’t want to say they’re bad just cause they’re different BUT this sucks, right? I’m not crazy???

As horrific as the enshittification of our media landscape is, I find some solace in the fact that AI remains deeply unpopular among those who genuinely enjoy media, and don't want to just mindlessly consume whatever slop they're served. By resisting AI, you resist becoming an obedient zombie.

I can't believe I forgot to put up Kirkmas decorations What will the carolers think

The defining trait of genAI users is that they only care about the end product, and detest the process. It's that exact mindset that corporations are exploiting. By eliminating the process, they have effectively turned it into a product that they can sell back to you. THAT'S the core issue.

Tech companies already control our digital creative tools. With genAI they're going one massive step further: Now that they own our tools, they want to own the artistic process itself. By making ability irrelevant, they've effectively commodified human imagination and expression.

Just as a reminder, genAI images and videos aren't bad because they look bad. How close they get to the real thing is irrelevant. The reason they're bad is because ultimately genAI exists to put the creative process itself into the hands of corporations instead of actual creatives.

this is so funny, everyone who isn't link has less details and directly because of that they look better

Every critique I've ever considered worth thinking about for even a second came from love for the art. A desire to see something be a greater version of itself. Admiring the potential of the work, and wanting it to be fulfilled. When you feel that, you never belittle or insult. You encourage.

I've been seeing lots of talk about animation critique lately I think much of the drama surrounding this stems from the fact that some people online don't get that critique doesn't have to come from a place of disdain, and can't voice nuanced opinions without resorting to mockery or hyperbole.
