A digital painting of a figure leaping from a rock onto a wide landscape.
Random but: the amazing thing about making art for your own games, whether you consider yourself an artist or not, is that as soon as you make a piece of art? You are an artist. Whether you’re a “good artist” is entirely out of your hands, and always will be. All you can do is throw yourself at it.

I made it! 😁

One cartoony bunny says to another, “Why do you always wear gloves??” As the other starts to take a glove off it says, “Ya know what I’ve never taken them off befor—” The bunny reveals its hand, which is drawn in a very different, non-cartoony, sketchy style. The first bunny looks very surprised and the one who’s hand it is looks very troubled and is sweating.
Poor guy

A dream filled with surreal antics and the most divine colour palette! Simply obsessed with 'RANGERS’ by Emilia Cantor!

Another gargoyle reading in the wild.
The sun is shining golden with cloud cover both above and below, leaving an opening that goes across the sky horizontally. The ground is a dark silhouette.

Excellent creature, thank you.

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Pet portrait commission.
I love drawing cats. This was a special one because it’s a portrait and memorial portrait.
Smoke rising from a dark hole in the ground in the centre of a blank white landscape. The smoke has eyes.

i don't know what the source of this video is but I love it
Anno: Oh, I’m critical of Porco Rosso, myself. Tomino: What was wrong with Porco? Anno: As a picture, nothing. But because I know Miyazaki-san personally, I can’t view it objectively. His presence in the film is too conspicuous, it’s no good. In other words... it feels like he’s showing off. Tomino: How so? Anno: He has the main character act all self-deprecating, calling himself a pig... but then puts him in a bright red plane, has him smoking all cool-like, even creates a love triangle between a cute young thing and a sexy older lady. Tomino: Ha! I see what you mean. He and | are around the same age, though. So I get how he feels, unconditionally. So I may think, “Oh boy...” but I can’t stay mad at him (laughs). Anno gets a little too into talking about underpants, and Tomino of all people has to check hit Anno: From my point of view, he’s being very presumptuous. Tomino-san, you put so much of yourself into your works, it is like you’re dancing naked in them. I like that! (balls fists) In Miya- san’s recent works, he makes you fhink he’s dancing naked... but on second glance, you realize he’s still wearing underpants. (getting carried away) I hate that! I feel like shouting: “Take it all off!” (getting really carried away) And to add insult to injury... he’s wearing fancy underpants! Tomino: You don’t beat around the bush. We get it, we get it already. Anno: (shrinking) Excuse me.
Tomino: i do get what you mean, and i don’t mean to play devil’s advocate for Miyazaki, but... generally speaking, that’s just how you get when you age. It’s the same for me, surely. That was my first time hearing it put so frankly... but you get what I mean already. It does feel nice letting it all hang out, waving your dick around. That’s how movies ought to be! Anno: Yes, I agree. I don’t like it when people try to obscure themselves like that. If you’re gonna wave your dick around, wave it all around! If you don’t have the guts to do that, then wear the best clothing you can. Tomino: Right... Dress yourself to the nines! Anno: Commit yourself to putting on a show. He couldn’t do that. I felt betrayed. Like, this guy isn't really naked!
i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.
