look i actually finished a thing

#giz #seb #paranormality #reels #animation #as much as i complain about the animating process sucking and being awful it's one of my favorite things to do #i've been doing it for over a decade and every time i come back to it it's a treat #just wish 12 seconds didn't take me 2 months bc i'm a perfectionist bastard with big visions #and untreated adhd #anyway pls enjoy my sillies #Youtube

what if i just started dropping lore tidbits abt my comic

#giz rambles #i may doodle things to go with them bc i need to get some concepts on paper anyway #and it's just more interesting to have visuals n stuff #im getting ready to actually start drafting pages soon #so im excited to share

animation is the most grueling and mentally draining hobby i've ever picked up

#giz #seb #paranormality #reels #i do plan on finishing this i just need to unfunk myself #these 6 seconds took me so long dude #ibispaint struggles to load my file i don't think it was meant to be used the way i'm using it #but i can't tell you how much more comfy it is for me than fucking flipaclip #i'm still using flipa for timings and importing frames is awful and i need to find a better way #but this was meant to be more a stress test anyway and so far my project file has only corrupted once #and ibis has a failsafe for that. very nice /gen #also idk how to get rid of the black border i'll figure that out later prommie

Welcome to my blog!

I'm a queer artist looking to show what I'm capable of as a character designer, animator, and story teller!

This is my general art blog, I have a few side blogs for more specific works, but (almost) everything will be posted/reblogged here as well.

I'm currently in the middle of getting a webcomic rolling, and I'll do my best to post updates when I feel I'm ready to.

If you need to contact me and Tumblr won't let you for whatever reason, you can reach me on Discord @/digibutter

I think the best way to fight this AI shit is just to support actual creators. The cat's out of the bag with AI; our data's going to be taken and used without our consent whether we like it or not, so maybe we should put efforts into holding up those who create their own stuff. Comment/interact on people's writings and art. Make it worth them posting; make it clear that what the people are interested in isn't generated stuff, but things that people have actually done themselves. It's a drop in the ocean, but showing creators that it's them that deserve the support at least serves to cut off a tiny bit of oxygen to these AI hogs - and make a difference to creatives who are trying against hope to share with a community.

#rb #i do still plan on using this blog more im just easily distractable and always busy #i dont like the idea of purposefully shit-ifying my art just to fuck with the bots #as much as i hate them #i value my work more #there are plans in the works of having my own site to host art/my comic project #we're getting there #I'm gonna stick around here for visibility

Absolutely livid that every work of fiction under the sun depicts "losing your humanity" as something inherently bad and morally wrong.

"I'm not human anymore and that makes me automatically evil and bad in every way possible and now you have to kill me for the plot" Yeah sure thing buddy get bent.

"I'm not human anymore and it's okay because I don't need to be a human in order to be capable of giving and receiving love, and you know what? I think I'm better this way." Oh sweetheart I understand completely and I love you so much. Come here you kind beautiful inhuman little thing

if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion’s website! she never got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day.

she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died— until in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of strawberry shortcake, care bears, and the get along gang. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) she inspires me so much as an artist! it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!

#save #omg this lady is responsible for my childhood i need to buy like #a bedtime bear commission off of her #if that's even possible #I'll take a print tho if that's not the case #give her what she deserves hasbro you greedy fucks
