wish abled people would understand fluctuating disabilities more. i told my boss my knee was better today than friday and she's like "I'm glad it's slowly getting better" but it's not Getting Better, it's just having a good day (and tbh it's worse now than it was when I said that) and tomorrow it'll probably be unable to bear my weight again. like. stop thinking of these things as a straight line progression because they're not and I'm tired to having to explain every bad day like it's some bigass new problem when it's just. the nature of these things
This post has been live for 19 hours, and they're not pulling in nearly enough attention, I assume because everyone's so fucking exhausted by the shit with CSP happening just last week.
I cannot stress enough: ADOBE IS THE IMPORTANT TARGET. Way more important than Clip Studio.
They set industry standards. They can force changes like this without giving a fuck about individual customers, because by and large their products are licensed hand over fist by everyone in the entertainment industry.
This is absolutely the time to mob the shit out of Adobe's mentions.
EDIT: This post was made December 6th; I'll update it if/when things change.
EDIT 2: IDK if Twitter is breaking or my head did, I could've sworn I linked to the parent tweet. It's fixed now, though!
EDIT 3: I may be clearing out snotty replies, but I am writing down names for a blocklist so thanks for making that easier on me. :)
"Beware the Well of Shade, for the shadows run deep through its endless walls and twisting caverns"
I've been messing around with this rig on and off for awhile, but I finally finished this little side project making a short scene in the style of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
I've never been quite happy with how Starswirl the Bearded looked in the show when he finally appeared but, last year I happened upon a really cool fan design of Starswirl by the user Orin311 that I fell in love with. I decided to make a one view puppet rig this year directly based off their vector art as a surprise, complete with show style lip sync and a full walk cycle. One thing led to another in adding a background, a few illustrator texture brushes, multiple sound effects, re-purposing some old fire animation of mine and suddenly it became a whole completed scene. With such a cool wizard design, the choice for using Gandalf's voice to test the rig with was a no brainier. The background is based on the Well of Shade location in the Season 7 finale of MLP.
I had a lot of fun making this and it was great practice for some future personal animation projects I wanna start next year!

So far @adobe has been proving that they don't care about artist or creatives. Especially since they have started to use AI generators in not just their programs but marketing too.
Also their so called opt out option for their AI generator, hasn't been working. Artist have been coming out with proof that their work was still being used. Even though they opt out and on top of that all Adobe did to fix this was pay the artist. One artist was only paid around 300$, for their entire portfolio and remember this work will be re used as long as this program is still going. So to me that's a pretty unfair payment, especially since they opt out.
As far as I know of only one artist who had this issue got their work "supposably" removed from their AI generator. On top of that it was a popular artist (Loish). So it seems if they did do this. It was because the artist had a big following.
For those who do want to leave adobe here is a list of options. All programs that can replace any of Adobes.
Also a great artist made a good video about this subject. I fully recommend watching it if your interested.
