Same. Watch the higher ups bundle in proc-gen and enemy behaviour to boost the numbers. Credit their workers? Nah, it was definitely the hallucitech that did all the work.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

From "Niccolo" graduation short film (Gobelins school, France).
Inspired by Italian violinist and composer Niccolo Paganini.
And I can also feel Yoshitaka Amano's influence, clearly.
Coming October 8 on Youtube.

Online art school CGMA has abruptly halted operations after it was revealed that the company had dissolved last year. A group of 140 instructors says theyโ€™re owed months of unpaid wages, while parent company Domestika awaits a court ruling.

The same jacket, but now it's clear the edges of shadows are being broken up by the texture of the corduroy.

Today in things nobody asked for but I'm still doing:

Pixel depth offset so the corduroy texture can have proper self-shadowing.

I had a mobile phone in a dream a few months back. Used the camera view to determine my Nan was a ghost, which came as a relief logistically.

Never saw any apps or menus or any other UI though. Not sure I've ever seen a computer in a dream..

What did you draw today, Tom? Well I drew a Snail with a gun taped to its back, obviously.
(Part of the Shadows of Doubt Modifiers update! I got to make lots of weird things for this)

Nothing hits quite like the texture and blinding juxtaposition of the real lighting used in cel animation for highlights, shimmers, and holographic effects.

I deeply miss this about older anime, and I haven't seen any newer shows do a good job at replicating other than Mob Psycho.

A comic strip in four panels:

1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content.
> Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora.  
> Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds:  
> Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!

4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer...

> Wizards: ... ... ...
