I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

"Any Updates on Layla?" Hi yes so - I'm in talks with several voice actors and an editor! Negotiations are in progress as I want to ensure people are paid fairly while also paying out of pocket. Animatic is currently 6/8 minutes done with some revisions I put on myself.

YouTube’s 2026 animation trends report reinforces a familiar claim: independent creators aren’t just participating in the industry, they’re reshaping it. Now the platform has data to support that argument. www.cartoonbrew.com/distribution...

New data shows young audiences embracing creators, global reach accelerating, and fan-driven production reshaping how animation is developed

Thank ya'll for the support! :D To give a little context - It'sss Layla - and she's really excited to meet you 😊 Layla's been in my life since I was 12. Yes - you heard it - twelve! And was one of my first fictional characters I designed circa the newgrounds Era. She had a lot of iterations~

It'ssss Layla!!!

Soooo I worked on a short a while back for Cartoon Network's CartoonCartoons Season 2 - while unfortunately the program got canned before my short would've made it to air, I'm now spending some time finally getting it ready to show off online :3 Stay tuned for more details. ✨😁

So there's this black coming of age queer YA romantasy that has a animatic pilot made by a black queer creator that's out on YouTube right now. It's about a black teen girl that's a witch. it's what if you combined The Vampire Diaries with Card Captor Sakura but made it black #ocs #ocsky #vampire

GHOSTKEEPER spotted!! I'm very proud of this story I made, and I want everyone to read it! It's a graphic novel about a therapist for ghosts who grapples with burnout, coping with grief, and setting boundaries in his caretaker role, plus he has a boyfriend 🌈 👻 www.penguinteen.com/978059352666...
