If a species has horns, you should be allowed to skip drawing the ears.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

I reject fascism because it nearly destroyed Europe and murdered millions of innocents, but that works too.

Got a fun little art goal/project in mind for next year's Macro March. 👀

Hi, I'm Cyra! And it’s my BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉

I'm freelance illustrator who loves to paint gorgeous fantasy ladies AND some video game fanarts on the side! It would be the greatest gift for me today if you ❤️ and 🔄 my artworks! Best of all, it costs you $0 to do so!

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

This still pisses me off four months on.

No industry that requires the wholesale theft of someone else's labour and merit is worthy of support. If so-called "AI" cannot do otherwise, then let it die like a parasite extracted from its host.

I don't understand teachers who waste their students' time explaining how to use GenAI. There are youtube tutorials for that shit.
When I was studying translation, there was already software around to do most of the work, but we were still taught the damn craft, not the tech

I honestly wonder if a Saturday morning cartoon for Schindlers List was ever pitched at a studio executive meeting.

Every episode, Oskar Schindler (voiced by Rob Paulsen) comes up with another zany scheme to get Jewish workers past the mean old SS officer (voiced by Tony Jay) and into his factory.

Does anybody remember that strange period in the 90s where EVERY family movie seemed to have an animated TV series made for it?

Jumanji. Men in Black. Dumb and Dumber. Beethoven. The Mask. Ghostbusters.

That doesn't seem to happen as much anymore.

Show me how you draw armor! 🛡️

I fully support creative jobs and think video game developers deserve much better than they get, but that shouldn't take away from the struggles of other sectors for recognition and dignity in their work.

We're all in this together.

Which does NOT change the fact that the fishing and steel industries provide for the livelihoods of hundreds if not thousands of families and communities, and any loss in either is detrimental to them.

"This earns more money" or "this industry is bigger" is capitalist talk. All jobs have worth.

31) Eomund's WH40k faction would be the T'au Empire, and he would sincerely think that they're the "Good Guys™".

30) As some of his more risqué art may suggest, Eomund has it in him to be a bit of an exhibitionist.

Once he does get over his body issues, he's quite happy to show off his hard work. Mostly he just enjoys feeling attractive for a change and receiving attention for it.

29) Eomund's mother's side of the family are United Empire Loyalists; one of their ancestors led a Loyalist detachment from New Jersey.

They were forced out after the British surrender to a plot of land provided in New Brunswick, before his grandchildren sought greener pastures further west.

28) When dressing up for Halloween, Eomund goes dressed as Superman. Supes is his favourite superhero as he relates to him a lot, both being good natured farm boys with immigrant backgrounds.

Due to lingering dysmorphia, he still thinks he needs to add padded muscles to his costume.

27) I briefly tried to use Eomund as a "himbo" character early on, but it was blatantly kind of forced and it didn't really work. Eomund is just naïve and prone to taking people at face value.

26) Having apparently always eaten his greens as a calf, Eomund is about 6'2". He's the tallest and broadest of my three bulls — Tol is 5'11", Oswald is 5'10".

25) Eomund's 1RM for bench press is 131kg.

That one soundtrack you put on when your batteries need a recharge...

It's kind of like being in your 20s, except you've finally been able to recover from the mess that was your childhood. So you can get more out of it.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
