ravenbarley from a few months ago happy valentines 🫶

woke up this morning and i don't know how to describe it, but i feel awake! full of vim and vigor! all those changes i've been making must finally be paying off. now to take a hot sip of coffee and check the time on the microwave,

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

an homage to all the forgotten nintendogs (this is not really just about nintendogs)

i don't know who needs to hear this but please remember it's not a toyotasprint it's a toyotathon

I just finished reading Vol. 2, and I already want Vol. 3! 😅

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Speedpaint (~1.5hours?) - Trying to remember how to draw and paint again because it's apparently been months since I was last drawing regularly. Just a concept of a place in my story- but nothing concrete. Mostly having fun!

The last few months kinda just... vanished. It's almost December? How?!

Screenshots from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where the player character is speaking to Beau, an antelope villager. Beau's text reads: "Pizza. Pizza is yes. You know...a lot of the time, I say goofy stuff. Or I make a joke. Not now. Pizza...is yes. And lemme tell ya something. A lotta folks say, "Oh, gross! Pineapple on pizza!" They're just followers. Hating pineapple on pizza is trendy. Like saying you're afraid of clowns, or grossed out by the word "moist." Nobody is any of those things. Someone said it, and other folks repeated it. Gagan [PC name], you're better than that. Be your own person. Know the truth about pizza... Pizza's whatever ya love, man - onions, peppers, pineapple, moist clowns, and hot, melty cheese. Pizza's a dream we sing to ourselves... Pizza. Is. Yes."

Just remembered the Pizza Is Yes dialogue from AC:NH

seriously if whoever worked translation on this line (heck did the original in Japanese? I wonder how different they are?) is somehow on bsky I want you to know your words live on in my heart through the voice of Clyde animal crossing forever

i see this pop up once in a while on various platforms and i have never seen more wholesome advice for being creative.

Jesse Hamm 2015:
"The biggest enemy of meeting deadlines isn't laziness. It's the false belief that badly drawn bits aren't allowed.

Wanna draw everything perfectly? Then be a cover artist. Spend days on one image. Wanna tell a story? Then make friends with ERROR." 1/ 2

Starting off with a fun evolution of my little guy (sona?) Starlight! 2018-2022 (well, it’s the current ref lol).

Fun fact: from 2019-spring of ‘22 he was a Maine Coon, but I did some research on gryphons for a college presentation and… well, we came full circle! My professor has no idea lol

A picture at my old desk in 2022, during production of The Legend of Pipi. On the screen, Pipi and a dragon are sitting in jail (neither of them seem fazed by this).

Super excited to be on BlueSky and thank you so much to @petuniabubbles.bsky.social for the invite! My name is Jay and I'm a compositor and video editor who loves all things animation! Looking forward to catching up here and following all my friends from the other platforms ahaha
