The very fact they actually used real animation cels for this short film in 2026 is absolutely insane and awesome. Probably the best music video I’ve seen in a LONG as time. Pure artistic eye candy.

I’ll be excited to model literally anything but I’d die to get to work on some dragons or anthros again! They’re so much fun for me to make - so meditative too! So if you have any cool OCs you’d want a bust of … I’m your fella 😎🧑

every morning I wake up there's a new song playing in my head that I've heard before. and the best part is it's always a song I like. so at least I have that.

I think my mind's ear is better than my minds eye, by a lot. I can replay whole soundtracks I've listened to a lot in my head really accurately. but it's about as useful as my minds eye, because the second I sit down to try and act on anything I hear it vanishes.

I know this is like, β€œeww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with β€œnuance” about what is art and what is porn.
