No matter what else I do or make in the future, I still worry I will never top this.

Had a lot of fun crashing around on Blender last night. There's a lot to like about the program and how it's organized. So far the only thing I'm like AGH FUCK NO WHY is view-centric Grab and Rotate tools WHYYYY 💢💢💢 I'll be using the gizmo please and thank you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. 🫂

Been looking forward to Trigun Stargaze but I forgot so much of what happened in Stampede that I'm rewatching it. Holy crap do I love Studio Orange's work. I should see if they have any lectures or examples of their workflow. 🤔

fuck you're right

A little cat sits in the left corner of the screen with their face scrunched up. A jagged word bubble coming out of their mouth reads, “A SINGLE BODY ISN’T MEANT TO PROCESS SO MUCH MISERY AND FEAR”

Ultimately I'm trying to find the happy medium between financial stability and satisfying work. And maybe I'm at the point where I need to be a bit more active in seeking that out rather than just going with where life has taken me.

The notion of unsteady income genuinely terrifies me, but if I play my cards right and have the skills to back them up, maybe I can make a comfortable enough living. Certainly less than I'm making now, but that's fine. This change won't happen overnight and I've got time to prepare.

I also need to try getting over my imposter syndrome and take on more projects. I tend to get overly critical of my own work and obsess over the flaws, comparing myself to those far more experienced, when my clients have been nothing but satisfied in the past.

There is opportunity here beyond just more emotionally-satisfying work, but I've got to put in the effort for this to even be a possibility. And to that end, this year I'm learning Blender with the goal of getting my modeling and rigging skills up to scratch.

Between that and some other real-world factors, I'm strongly thinking about pivoting over to freelance work in the future, at least as a possibility. That comes with a boat-load of uncertainty, but I'm finding myself frustrated and deeply unsatisfied with my corporate job.

I don't consider myself an overly creative person (I feel more like a builder than an artist), but I love what I do and I want to keep doing it. And with every passing day, I see efforts to remove the creativity and joy from my work.

And this is on top of the ethically complicated nature of my employer. I think they genuinely mean well and the world is better for them existing than if they didn't, but there're difficult moral questions even before the staggering newfound push for Line Go Up.

I believe that it's possible for a company to make money and not be total assholes, and I was confident that my employer was walking that careful balance. I worry that they're compromising on their own values, and leaning hard into a growth-at-any-cost mindset.

I've tried writing this out like twelve times and I need to say SOMETHING dangit or I can't get on with my life so here goes. The last couple of weeks have been eye-opening at work and I need to be making an exit plan. Doesn't have to happen right away but the signs are there. (long 🧵)

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

A single comic panel of Sonic the Hedgehog reclined with one leg crossed over the other and a speech bubble over his head with much of the text erased so it reads "I want games made by people and I'm not kidding!"
