Art WIP That I May Never Finish :')

Sketch of Mako and Chaz because of anxietywolf-zyne's tags, which led me to giving them a sorta dynamic where they dislike eachother

Chaz: you know, you talk a lot of smack for a guy wearing mom jeans

Mako: And you're a wannabe reporter who goes to school wearing a suit jacket

"it builds character" ok but if i go through any more character development my character might develop into the villain

@dr-hystericals dude I can't believe your dad is Ryan Gosling

Apollonough ☀️

the (straight!) wedding my partner was at today played good luck babe as one of the last songs, and I’m starting to think the straights don’t understand, like, words or text?

i so deeply understand the reasoning of every comment

GJCSJHGJV TYTY :D :D 🫶🫶 they're two of the dumb lil guys living in my head rent free. Wouldn't get their shit together until they're in highschool or smth 😭

Also your hcs?? They're absolutely right, they're canon to me (also realised I wasn't following you, that's criminal of me 😔)

So Netflix is releasing this animated movie but here’s the thing - all backgrounds are done in AI. No actual BG artists were hired or credited for this work. 

And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. 

Check this out:

“+Human”. No names, no nothing. 

I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill. Hilariously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan. 

The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.

EDIT: a lot of people are unsure what the anime’s called - it’s The Dog and the Boy.

honestly dni and unfollow me if you support mama after all she's done. she literally has consulted medical professionals over and over and refused to change her behavior re: those under her care. she LITERALLY called the doctor, MORE THAN ONCE, and the doctor very fucking clearly said no more monkeys jumping on the bed. and what happens five fucking seconds later every single time
