Its not just animation that has been pushed toward must look pretty to get noticed, just look at webcomics since webtoons became a thing. its a larger trend just made worse now that genAI is on the scene. It’s this idea that “pretty = good” and that’s bound to harm us all.
I usually dont do these types of text posts, but I have to get something off my chest to anyone that will read it, and it’s about a show I love: BOB’S BURGERS. I was catching up on the show recently, fell back in love with it, but there is still one thing that I do NOT love. Millie Frock’s handling…
Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.
We’re half-way through issue 2!! The comic updates every first of the month over on our Substack. Right now, we’re on Issue 2 Part 7, but you can catch up with previous parts all available to read for free! phoenixbladecomic.com and Substack.com/@phoenixblade
I just rolled off a short gig at Titmouse, and am once again looking for work! I have over 6yrs of professional experience, & can hit the ground running as a revisionist or board artist. Past credits include Craig of the Creek, Apple & Onion, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, & more! www.HannahLeeStockdale.com
somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag
This is hanging by my door. I think a lot of us need him by the door
The twist is, Ren is actually the little sister
Avoided spoilers, didn’t watch the leak, and I sure ain’t getting Paramount + so I’m very grateful TAG put out the rsvps for us to see Avatar Aang in the theater where it belongs. Shit was goodt. A beautiful work of art. I feel like this is what I wanted see since the show ended 18 years ago
I'm sorry I don't find "You shouldn't do subtext anymore because people are stupid" to be a particularly compelling argument
Been a long time since I drew on paper. Here’s some random Nott sketches

After polling folks her and irl, I did a combo of the two favs! Here’s a look at how the physical cover is going. Issue 2 is rolling out on our website phoenixbladecomic.com and substack.com/@phoenixblad... UPDATES EVERY FIRST OF THE MONTH!
Hey everyone! We’re picking a new color palette for issue 2’s book cover. Let us know which of these speaks to you 🐦🔥
My truest advice: luck is a much bigger factor than anyone cares to admit. Luck favours the prepared, *to an extent!* But not completely. You absolutely cannot take it personally. Take your lumps, cheer for your friends, and keep going.

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha. We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.
