RIGHT WHY CAN’T A RICH PERSON JUST DECIDE TO LET ME BE THEIR PET ARTIST AND I’LL JUST DRAW MY WEIRD LITTLE SHIT AND THEY’LL GO WOW THAT’S WONDERFUL WOULD YOU LIKE MORE WINE
I’m so fucking tired of the animation fandom constantly complaining about “bean mouths” and “Cal Arts,” but then when you have a show that looks more unique it’s “WAAAAA WHY ARE SHOWS SO UGLY BAAWWWWWHHH” jesus go touch grass
Art advice you can use right now:
Draw slower
Observe more
Observe again
Don’t give up after first sketch
Use references
Ask for feedback
Work simple, then add details
Iterate on ideas
Try new a new process
Make frequent comparisons to refs
Draw what you love
Draw with others
Reminder that people who pirate media are actually helping archive and save it from greedy networks who could pull it at any time for any reason. Hold onto those files y’all ☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I need the industry to realize that storyboard artists get paid WAY MORE than animators and a big reason why animators move on to become board artists isn’t only outsourcing but low wages
IF! YOU! ARE! CHANGING! THE! SCRIPT! YOU! ARE! SCABBING!
Storyboard artists, please don't let studios force even more writing work onto you. Report it to the WGA and TAG as soon as you're asked.
⚠️EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING⚠️
I worked on this show over the summer and I cannot emphasize ENOUGH how absolutely incredible Midnight Gospel is. It is hands down one of my favorite shows to ever have existed. SUPPORT IT
IF. YOU. ARE. IN. THE. UNION. WE. NEED. YOU. RIGHT. FUCKING. NOW!!! Get involved, and if you don’t know how, DM ME. I can give you a jumping off point. Be prepared and talk to your fellow TAG members! We need as many people INFORMED and ENGAGED as possible
The quote doesn't surprise me, but it's still an incredibly dim view of what artists do. To see the visual side as interchangeable mush to slather under your precious verbal jokes is to not at all comprehend the strengths or potential of the medium you work in.
INDUSTRY ANIMATOR HOPEFULS!!! Here's a cool tip that I wish I was taught when I was in school: make sure to learn both Adobe Animate CC *AND* Harmony! Studios still use both depending on the production 💜
I've been drawing a lot lately but it sucks that I can't really post anything I've worked on since like... Last year LOL! So I doodled Charlie from Hazbin Hotel together with Mr. Pickles real quick <3 <3
PRIZES:
❤️ One Wacom MobileStudio Pro (first gen)!
🧡 One Wacom bluetooth keyboard!
💛 One Cintiq hand.... thingy!
💚 One aluminum laptop stand!
💙 One USB-C to USB 3.0 converter!
💜 One hand made backpack to fit your MobileStudio and accessories!
ARE YOU SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING YOUR ANIMATIONS AND MEDIA STOLEN AND REPOSTED WITHOUT CREDIT??? Here’s a small thing you can do that helps a bit ⬇️
Go through viral video tweets, and block any bot download acct you see people tagging 💅🏼
FINALLY my pride month picture is finished!! Thanks to everyone who stopped by stream :D I wanted to honor Charlie from
#HazbinHotel
with her bi pride this year <3 Love your LGBTQ neighbors! Together, we stand strong ✊🏼🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Y’all wanna know some late night animation advice?
Always be nice to the production assistants, and production in general. They’re stressed as hell, the PAs make barely over minimum wage and work long shifts to make sure we can function as a pipeline.
Be kind
I've seen a few comments by people hoping to god that Beavis and Butthead doesn't become "woke," and I'm here to tell you that these are the official designs, we're redoing the entire movie to look like this specifically because of you
Unfriendly reminder that animation studios are not your friend and your relationship with them should be entirely transactional (ie paying you to do a job).
They are COUNTING on you animation hopefuls and fans to line up and be eager to be exploited :)
💖 All of this comes with the necessary charging and connection cables, etc!
💕 THESE ARE USED BUT IN GOOD CONDITION! This was my first major computer setup and it helped me get very far as an artist.
💝 Please use discretion when entering. I’d really love to help out a student or artist in need who can’t afford a setup and needs one. It’s done me a ton of good over the years and I want it to go to a home where it’s needed 💕
I turned down a massive lowball offer from them. Over a year later, they contact me again, not remembering they had already reached out to me. When I asked if their rates had changed, they never got back with me.
Be careful with YouTube Channels, animators.
Today is the first birthday of The Midnight Gospel's premiere 💕 Thank you so much to
@duncantrussell
and
@buenothebear
for everything!! This show changed my whole life for the better and I loved every minute I got to be a part of it 🌹🌹🌹
Industry artists usually have something they like to draw in their free time that keeps their creativity flowing, usually their own projects or something cool. Mine is… goddamn Beavis and Butthead
One of my autistic trans friends could really use some help! She was thrown out by her parents last year and was homeless at the PEAK OF COVID, but she overcame that and got accepted into animation college!! She's raising money to cover tuition:
Can we also talk about how production workers who barely make above minimum wage have also just had the entire rug pulled out from under them because holy fucking shit
“I DON’T LIKE HOW THIS SHOW LOOKS BOO HOO I HAVE NO REAL PROBLEMS IN MY LIFE I’M GONNA BELITTLE THE HARD WORKING ARTISTS BC I CAN’T JUST IGNORE SOMETHING I DON’T LIKE” oh my god I’m so sick of it I am so fucking sick of it
ANIMATION GUILD MEMBERS, CHECK YOUR FUCKING EMAILS ON AN UPDATE FROM THE UNION! THIS IS IMPORTANT. DO NOT IGNORE YOUR CHANCE TO SPEAK DIRECTLY ON YOUR WANTS THIS NEGOTIATION CYCLE.
God I fucking love art so much. Like, artists can really just make anything they want out of nothing. I don't wanna see any sanitized bullshit, show me your freak art in the comments; the stuff you made with passion.
I don’t even know what to say anymore to disheartened students and industry hopefuls. It’s just that bad out here right now, and I’m one of the very few lucky ones who still managed to find a job
I don’t think artists are doing okay, tbh. I think we’re all so tired of fighting to be seen day in & day out. Not getting enough commissions, or needing to take on too many. Seeing so many ppl wonder if they even want to create anymore & I’m 100% feeling it. We are burnt out. 😔
@SlimJosa
The amount of tweets I’ve seen on this hellsite of people yelling at each other over splitting hairs on who to boycott and who not to when all they need to do is target these 6 is UNREAL. The internet is such an exhausting place
I work on a feature length film for one of the single most iconic properties from the 90s and can’t even fucking buy a car and support my family at the same time without panicking about finances. We need a

NOW
Wow, heh heh hmm heh... This is, like, a banger tweet, heh
Huh huh... You said bang. huh.
Make sure to tweet out
#NewDeal4Animation
and show your support by reading up here:
All the animation fandom does is watch YouTubers who have NO fucking idea how cartoons work and then hating on artists on Twitter. Do they even LIKE cartoons at this point
Okay, I've decided to make a Circle for industry hopefuls as a place to ask questions, do portfolio reviews, and get advice. Reply to this tweet if you want in.
Okay I’m muting this but a few things!
💖 this also comes with a Wacom Link, forgot to mention earlier lol
💔 QUOTE RTs WILL NOT BE COUNTED BY THE BOT
💕 I have been absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the kindness that’s come from this giveaway. The art community is so generous. Cheers 👏🏼
Today was my last day on Beavis and Butthead and it's bittersweet as fuck. I'm going to miss all the goobers I got to work with, and it's cool as hell that I got to work on one of the most iconic IPs from the 90s, but it's time to move on to a more modern iconic show... 👴🧪
Just so everyone knows, if you're having trouble drawing a specific object, SketchFab has AWESOME references without you having to actually open a file in a 3D program 💕
@Lowco2525
I pretty much will only buy games now if I see a streamer play it first honestly. I don't have a lot of time to game so I wanna make sure my investment is worth it!
Hey fam, I could really use your help!!
The Mouse is refusing to recognize production workers' unionization efforts. One way YOU CAN HELP RIGHT NOW is to sign this petition! It's through IATSE, no data will be sold. We need as many sigs as possible! TIA
Yes it’s absolutely disheartening to see animation credited as board work. Yes the job creep is real and board artists are overworked to the point they become animators. But no, if you were classified as an animator you would be paid LESS
Sending love from The Chromatic Ribbon! 🪐 Thank you

@wacom
to create the Wacom Cintiq Showdown :] coming second in that competition changed my entire LIFE and gave me the resources I needed to succeed while in school 🤘🏼
HEY UNION ANIMATORS!!! Y’all wanna have this kind of power come our own negotiations next year?
Consider getting involved with TAG’s discord server, staying informed, and help inform others ✊🏻
BREAKING: Hollywood writers are striking.
They’re fighting for their livelihoods against billion-dollar studios and streaming companies who have been squeezing writers to eke out more profits.
Writers didn’t shut down Hollywood — the studios did.
Whenever I go back to Titmouse next I’m gonna draw Beavis and Butthead smooching in that artist’s stairwell but also can I just say seeing this fucking rocked
Straight up. If we want this gig economy to fucking end, if we want protections against AI…. If we want a FUTURE as entertainment workers, we NEED to support the WGA right now
Not to be hyperbolic, but this WGA strike is the canary in the coal mine. If we don’t stop this industry from insane automation and devaluing wages that’s a wrap. That’s dystopia.
