Thanks to you - the video is absolutly dope and it shows every ounce of human art and love behind it. Much needed in those times - as is the importance of uplifting other human artists!

Thanks again!

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

Dangerous Light On a lost effect from the analog film era.

We researched all we could from photography to optical printing and the effects of film on light to understand the whole process before emulating it.

Also, the labels that ChatGPT spouted out are ALL wrong, names changed to nonsensical word jumble.

For comparison, here is my first map ever and one made last year for WotC Adventures in Faerun, five years later.

But hey, always better to rely on a plagiarism machine that spout out garbage, instead of having fun improving, right?

When in doubt about what color and whatnot should I use, I always end up referencing to Nathan Fowkes' art.

If you lack motivation to train in this bleak and depressing world, remember that training allows you to:
- live better autonomously when you will be older in a world that wants you dependant
- suplex N4tzees harder

Do the smart thing!

Today was really hard to get up from bed and get things done in this bleakness. I'm so fucking tired of everything. I constantly feel exhausted and keeping up being creative is harder day by day.

I hope things will get better but honestly I'm doubtful. Everything seems so miserable.

A senseless map scale showing random numbers and letters, being it generated with AI.

FB TTRPG groups are now utterly swarmed by AI-slop "cartographers" FFS.

Behold, the infamous 0-8-20-35-4th scale.
