Former 'DRAGON BALL' editor Kazuhiko Torishima expresses sorrow over the demolition of Bird Studio, reflecting on Akira Toriyama:
"The place I visited once a month...
The place where so many characters and works were born is disappearing.
So he's really gone..."

Make animatic films!
Other than seeing Becky Prim, manga and its comparative simplicity showed me you can make enjoyable films this way. There's a future where people are making and taking animatics as seriously as manga. Very cheap, very accessible form of animated filmmaking.
Made a new video talking about why you should consider storyboards/animatics as final products! Inspired by @kianamaiart, @JazLyte amongst others, I wanted to show another alternative as opposed to making fully animated/polished stuff that takes forever.

Many black kids have spent their life clingy to racially ambiguous characters to feel represented. Most will never understand what it is like to never see the world reflected in your image. I was 15 the first time I saw a Superhero (Black Panther) who looked like me.

Sonnet 116. Patrick's favourite. Take one minute out of your day to hear the bard's words spoken by someone who lived by them.

Sir Ian McKellen has made a statement on the tragic passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.
“He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.”

also listen, we went through an oversaturation of "brown haired white boy has silly adventure with friends" cartoons for DECADES
i think we can survive an "oversaturation" of "queer girl leads saving the world with the power of friendship" for a bit
Replying to @kianamaiart
it shouldn’t be a surprise that the most viewed and prominent indie shows with fandoms are lore driven shows made for gay teens, not just for the above reason, but also because gay teens tend to be the audience that is online and the most active within fandoms

KORRA
This show was such a formative part of my artistic development and with seven havens releasing I’ve been re watching! So I did my first ever drawing of her :)

A few paintings done by @chenalii in the early production of the “Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender” film. These are absolutely amazing. Check out more of their art on Twitter or Instagram. They’re so talented
