1.0 coerthas, by the way. your fav npcs lost this when the calamity struck. this was how their homeland looked for a majority of their lives.
[shakes u all by ur shoulders] REMEMBER COERTHAS, REMEMBER THAT IT ONCE WAS GREEN!!!!!! NOT WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it’s interesting that the FFXIV tourists were more mad about Wuk Lamat than Zero who was intentionally designed to be genderfucky as requested by the scenario team. Her in-game model uses a male torso even.
Screenshot is from a translated JPN interview so sorry for the jank.
w the state of things Here, this is your reminder to write down the names of your favorite artists and see where else you can find them👏
a lot of us rely on platforms Actually working and our followers in socmed to know abt our comms or patreons.. its bad enough as it is for us rn 💀
every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades
Apparently it's #PortfolioDay
Never participated before but this post is pretty close so 🤷♂️
In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
Tumblr user thereisselfpreservation "I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck." Reply from the same user: "For reference (heh)" Screenshots of messages. Sender: "Okay, I've sent it now." There's a file attachment called "Shork_YCH_MyReference_v1.vbs". The vbs extension is circled. Sender: "If everything is in order, I can send the overpayment." Sender, in reply to the file attachment (again with the vbs extension circled): "How much would the full piece cost?" thereisselfpreservation: "At a glance, the file name checks out. But!! do not open a .vbs file!!!
You should know that the infamous I Love You virus uses the same trick - Always make sure to turn on 'show file extensions' in your windows/browser settings.
And remember;
You should not give them any money.
The worse their wallets hurt, the more they're going go try and push back the ID check bullshit they want to use so badly.
The amount of incredible talent in the queer lit space and its subgenres we're losing to these mindless, baseless hate campaigns will be looked back upon in a few decades by younger generations wondering why the fuck queer people were so down bad for queerphobia
I need young folks to know: this is really cool. Let them have this. You can keep your mouth shut for two weeks. It's ok.
Two weeks won't kill you, and it could show the general public that indie animation has a place, and that these things can exist somewhere other than YouTube.
To anyone doing crochet or knitting, I'll advise to check Ravelry which has a enormous amount of patterns that are free or payable. It's really good if want to search something and you discover so much more. Youtube is also full of free tutorials.

My thoughts were too big for Bsky but here we go
Takeshi Hongo in his form as Kamen Rider Ichigo stands firmly over a scientist who has done horrible things, but says that "Human life is more important than even peace and justice." This reaffirms the message of the show that the only way to make a better world is to focus on keeping people safe and protecting the innocent, not simply lashing out and hurting those who hurt you. Violence can sometimes be necessary, but it should never be arbitrary, and always to protect, never to aggress. The image is a still from episode 91 of Kamen Rider, which ran from 1971-1973, and formed the emotional and moral core of the series that still runs today.
Words to live by from the character Takeshi Hongo, written by Shotaro Ishinomori. Using "peace and justice" as an excuse to attack the innocent is just senseless violence, and creates neither peace nor justice.

you don't actually hate what you're creating. if it was made by someone else, you'd like it. you'd say it's cool. you'd say it's inspiring. you can easily imagine another artist drawing this, and someone else liking it. you only doubt it because it's yours. stop. it's okay. you're allowed to be.

Invest in your friends’ OCs. It’s like being in a fandom, except you get the benefit of having the inside scoop, too.
Yes, show me the “bad” sketch, pitch me the shower thought… I love it.

This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities
