Art is often about simplifying reality. While you may not have the same know-how as a master of animal anatomy, you absolutely have the skills to demonstrate an artistic understanding of animal form. You've earned this, and you deserve to be there.

This is phenomenal advice. Yes, for game developers, but the principles are applicable to other creative projects too.

This was the thing: youtu.be/e1reUEFV_3s

One of my less familiar original characters interacting with a childhood version of himself, who is staring at a floating hat for some reason.

I'm starting something new on January 1st. (Not a New Year's Resolution, just a different kind of YouTube video for me.)

A Red-Bellied Woopecker’s Tongue is Almost Three Times the Length of Its Beak and Wraps Around Its Skull When Retracted Today I found out that the tongue on a Red-Bellied woodpecker, along with some other species of woodpecker, is so long that it can extend at least three times the bill length and, when retracted, wrap...

Some woodpeckers have tongues that are longer than their body. The tongue wraps around its skull.

"Sir, 1600 hams have shown up, and we only have one day to assess their freshness!"

*meticulous veteran stares begrudgingly at the brash bad-boy*

"All right, son, let's see if you're as good as they say..."

That second picture with the small caves... I've been there many times. I lived in that neighborhood for a number of years. There's a large boulder at the base of the path that leads down there... every time I walked that trail I made a point to sit on that rock.

Happy Birthday!

Ah, OK.

That is better. Thank you.

YouTube video by Chris Hendricks The Town that Cried Wolf - World Premiere

My short film is now up on YouTube publicly for everyone to see! Please check it out... this was a passion project, and it means a lot to me:

For the first time ever, I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas last night.

I'm sorry, fans... I think it's overrated.

The movie has tremendous amounts of style, visual creativity, and good songs. But I found hardly any substance in it. I just didn't care about any of the characters (even Jack).

That answer ignores the social dynamics of a virtual world.

That's a great answer.

Cheating in a multiplayer space, even for cosmetic items, creates an undesirable social dynamic, harming the experience of players who got those items legitimately and those who can't get them at all.

YouTube video by Chris Hendricks 20 Memories for Club Penguin's 20th Anniversary

It's Club Penguin's 20th anniversary. Words can't express how grateful I am to have been part of it.

But words can try. Today's Club Penguin video is going to have a lot of memories: youtu.be/ULjO6yaRAgM

#ClubPenguin20th #ClubPenguin20 #WaddleOn

Oh that is NASTY.

You know, the Internet might be a shadow of the hopeful, optimistic place it felt like in decades past, but at least there are fewer pop-up ads.

I'm working on a new video for Friday! (This week marks the 20th anniversary of Club Penguin. Yes, really.) 🐧

Day 9 - "Heavy": It's "Jar Jar Sphinx", the Egyptian sphinx with Jar Jar Binks' head Day 10 - "Sweep": Chimney sweeps from Mary Poppins in a choreographed dance

Day 11 - "Sting": a shaded scorpion Day 12 - "Shredded": Shredder, the villain from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is shredding documents while saying "Those pesky turtles will never find out about my massive TAX FRAUD!"

And then days 9-12:

#inktober #inktober2025

Day 5 - "Deer": a heavy black and white-shaded male deer head Day 6 - "Pierce": a shaded pencil "piercing" through the paper it was drawn on

Day 7 - "Starfish": a fish parent telling their child to go to bed because the starfish are out Day 8 - "Reckless": a monster of some kind driving backwards tilted on two wheels.

I have been doing these every day, honest! I just haven't been uploading. Here are the next four:

The Town that Cried Wolf A short film that asks "What if, after the boy cried 'wolf', the rest of the town started doing it too?"

My short film, the Town that Cried Wolf, is 90-95% finished. I need to make the credits, which means that the Late Pledges on the Kickstarter needs to be shut down. If you wanted to get in on that, this is your last weekend to do so: www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

I've been doing Inktober this year. Let's see if I actually manage to do all of the days.

Here are the first four:
