Do you love fantasy?? Do you love good fucking art?? Literally. Do you love wholesome smutty adventures between consenting partners while they take on one of the most beautiful worlds I've ever seen?!?
Do yourself a favour - READ I Roved Out. It's free to read on their website. Then buy this book π
"The best reference for us was to paint a cel" β€οΈ
From the Gorillaz short film making-of, made by humanz.
And furthermore, to build on this and what it is quoting:
If you canβt be bothered to write your own words or draw your own art, then why should I be bothered to read your regurgitated, processed slop that you had no hand in creating?
If you use AI, you are mid and useless as a creator by default
I wish companies could be held liable for making such absolutely obviously idiotic decisions that cost entire industries worth of people their jobs, their savings, and the environmental destruction faced by everyone.

There is a LOT of lore now, too ... godspeed to ye
Yeahhh, get 'em, Matt!
So happy to see more and more late-kids-sad-adults reliving their childhood nostalgia with Neopets. Guilty as charged! π
π¦ππ» Happy Halloween!! π»ππ¦
Trick yourself a treat and check out Into the Unwell if you haven't already! An upcoming indie game full of crazy characters in an even zanier world π
If you're a fan of rubber hose cartoons, mad boss runs, and dark humour then this is a game for you!
Amazing art!! You have such a gorgeous style! Happy Balloon Day!
Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didnβt work, scuffs the eraser didnβt pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and youβre allowed to try again.
Jerry wanted you to hear this from him.
We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and itβs needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum must #FreeBenAndJerrys

Okay, wow, this looks amazing?? OBSESSED with the visual style and animation!
Mindhunters was INCREDIBLE!! True crime tackled with restraint and an insane eye for detail
The decision to cancel it while continuing to hemorrhage cheap, exploitative "documentaries" aimed at filling as much runtime as possible was the final nail for me. I quit Netflix in their race to the bottom
If anyone brings up anything remotely related to either Firefly or Mindhunters it will trigger a full-throated rant lasting far longer and louder than anyone deserves
Two completely different shows cancelled in their prime with the kind of wasted potential that leaves an aching in my heart

Wow, I just now noticed my garbled auto correct???

Damn, was that so hard???
Or you look at something like Fury Road: heavy on practical effects and stunts, mostly all planned out in advance with intensive storyboarding, and looks just as good or better than many bloated βeverything green-screened and edited 100 timesβ blockbusters
More broadly, VFX bloat is at least 90% a result of poor planning, poor management , and execs/leads generallu treating artists and studios like a black box they email to receive infinite executions, revisions and costly minor variations around the clock and on demand
What really gets me besides the obvious rich ass trying to not pay skilled talent is YOU. MADE. YOUR. MOVIES. FUCKING. VFX HEAVY, MY GUY. YOU DID THIS. THIS WAS YOU FROM THE BEGINNING. YOU MADE YOUR OWN PROJECT EXPENSIVE. YOU GREEDY BITCH. NEXT TIME MAKE A MOVIE IN YOUR BACKYARD.
Worth reading the entire thread. I wasn't aware of the complete fallout of the Tumblr!NSFW ban, but even as someone who doesn't post NSFW art it smelled like bullshit a mile away. Let people post their creations. If it's not harming anybody but uojndknt like what you see, click away. It's that easy.
gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.
stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.
they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.
fuck them, pay labor.
