Yo! Check it!!
This is the full animatic for my proof-of-concept teaser for
@QuestChefs
! The plan is to complete this with clean animation, color and backgrounds.
Join Crouton and Rosbif on their culinary conquest!
I hope you're as excited for this project as I am!

I'm not entirely sure WHY the painter chose to have Charles emerging from a cacophonous void of meat and gore, but it's certainly an apt metaphor for the history of the British royal family, so kudos to him for that
๐จToday, The King unveiled a new portrait by
@RealJonathanYeo
at Buckingham Palace. The painting - commissioned by The Draperโs Company - is the first official portrait to be completed since His Majestyโs Coronation. It will hang in Draperโs Hall in London.
And there it is.
It took so much fucking misery, so much death, destruction, and humiliation for this wrinkled bag of skin and teeth to finally do what he should have done in October.
He will forever be remembered as the monster that allowed all thus to happen. Never forget.
this really drives the point home; crypto produces NOTHING, it contributes NOTHING to society, it just consumes technology and energy and leaves NOTHING of worth behind
I hate to be that guy, but...
Does this art style seem... undercooked to anyone else?
The comp is really odd, like the characters weren't incorporated into the environments. It looks like it has the drawbacks of cel animation without its charm of crispness and clarity.
No other film has made the bow and arrow this powerful and terrifying
The otherworldly sound effects combined with the sheer brutality of the effects is amazing
@MattWilliames
Matt, this is very disappointing. Walsh is a dangerous theocrat who seeks to hurt vulnerable people.
Please reconsider sharing such vile rhetoric.
Just to clarify, I don't hate this art style!
I just think that it should have had more courage.
If it committed more to the 2D vibe, tried a more interesting shading method, and tried not animating everything on ones, it could achieve the storybook feeling better than it does.
@HummingJack_
It's amazing how they wrote Connie to be this extremely sweet, smart, considerate person
And some slice of the fandom just wants to see her suffer
@SouthpauzArt
This scene makes Zuko's scarring not a horrific tragedy of parental abuse, but rather a failure to win a fight.
In the original he prostrates before his father and tearfully apologizes, only to be burned. In this adaptation, he is burned because he is a poor fighter.
@YlGACLAN
I just realized that in DnD terms, the entire party's dump stat is Charisma.
Laios is so socially maladjusted he prefers monsters over people.
Marcille is a nervous wreck.
Chilchuck is standoffish, snippy and rude.
Senshi was a loner hermit until he meets the party.
Izutsumi.
@SolidusJJ
well, at least Peach DID do that in the unironically excellent Mario comic that the movie SHOULD be based on... Though I doubt that would ever happen......
@randomsakuga
Every single one of those playing cards is unique. There are no two cards being repeated.
Also there are exactly 54 cards in the deck, including both Jokers, all being kept track of the entire time.
This shot is utterly bonkers, and it is gone in a flash.
@izogii
Let's be completely honest here; Nobody buys NFTs for the art. They buy NFTs for their eventual resale value.
They may claim they're financially supporting artists more than before, but in reality it's just them trying to turn their money into even more money. It's just stocks.
@Trungles
EEAaO: unadressed generational trauma can lead you to alienate your loved ones, so go and confront your issues, accept your mistakes, and embrace the people that matter
this person: so generational trauma is good then? wow that's such a bad message
Also, I'm GLAD that studios are getting rid of motion blur and trying to make their animation look more clean like 2D, but...
If you're going to have the characters look and move and act just like every other Disney film of the last 12 years, then what exactly is the point??
@MattWilliames
Matt Walsh has not proven himself a balanced enough individual for me to pay him mind.
Between his history of inflating statistics to support his cause, his obscene views on teenage pregnancy and his consistent mockery of vulnerable people, what has he done to be given attention?
@shaun_vids
@Iron_Spike
I love how this move proved pretty definitely that the people who are the most desperate for attention are also those who deserve it the least
@dragotherium
@KELST4CKS
I'm kinda impressed that you managed to express something so casually devastating while also saying nothing but absolute nonsense
@VoicesByZane
When I was young and more agile, I was able to do genuinely great and very convincing pratfalls, but now I can do maybe one and I'll regret it then next day
@sweater_face
It so expertly, immaculately skirts the line between 60's Disney, Sword in the Stone type stuff, Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair style and a 90's cereal commercial
@MattWilliames
And I know what you're about to say, "How can I refute his claims if I don't watch the documentary?"
I don't want to refute his film. I know enough about him to not trust him. He's proven himself to be horrendously cruel and unbelievably bigoted. I don't need that in my life.
@oswinozzzy
I think that's basically it.
I think there were some artists who were pushing in a very specific direction, and some execs or producers who wanted to push somewhere familiar and safe, and we ended up with a compromise that satisfies neither.
I hear that quite a few people take offense at my assertion that cryptocurrencies "contribute nothing to society".
I've considered your input, and have decided that printing monopoly money by fucking over artists and singeing a hole into the atmosphere sucks ass, and so do you
Hot take:
Indie animation projects could be so much better if they wrote scripts more efficiently. Beyond improving the pacing, a lot of time and budget can be saved on production if your story gets to the point faster.
High quality with a low budget requires you to work smarter.
Also to be clear, he's NOT calling for a permanent ceasefire, of course not.
Not enough blood has spilled for Ol' Joe. He's only mad cuz this time it was white folks that got bombed by Bibi and his horde of pillaging ghouls.
@PGiChristine
Yeah but that's my point. If they wanted it to REALLY look like a storybook, they should have committed to the 2D feel and made the character designs and movement feel like traditional animation.
@GNCordova
@irose_artoo
This whole "they should pursue their military goals while being more mindful of civilians" argument really falls flat when you consider that their military goal is destroying as many civilian targets as possible
@VoicesByZane
You remember that video of the Waffle House employee catching and FLINGING ASIDE the metal chair thrown at her?
I'm imagining that, but with a bolter shell. I have never wanted to see something animated more in my life.
@shaun_vids
@BretWeinstein
@FIDE_chess
you see, real life is just like chess:
- when the leader loses, everyone else automatically loses too
- queens are far more powerful than their spouses
- clergy can move as far as possible, but only diagonally
- towers can charge right at you if you're not careful
@ianjq
I'm fuckin AMAZED at how they're running Max.
It's like they hate everyone involved, from their audience to their workforce. Some of the most outwardly hostile management I've seen in a while.
After Warner Bros took various cost-cutting measures including turning movies into tax write-offs and refused to pay actors & writers for months, David Zaslavโs 2023 pay package is now at $49.7M, a 26.5% increase from 2022.

@irose_artoo
Let's be honest here, the real reasons behind Disney is no longer making 2D films are:
- VFX workers not being unionized
- CG pipelines being way more malleable, allowing for changes to be made later in production
- Expert 2D animators requiring more time and effort to be trained
@VERTIGRIS_ART
That still sounds terrible to me. Nothing is actually being made, it's energy consumption with no actual production of goods. It's fantasy money being pushed around and we're burning the planet for it.
@Iron_Spike
It's called the Coconut Effect!
The warping of the perception of reality due to the portrayal of it in fiction, named after the idea that people expect horse hooves to sound like coconuts because that's what they use for foley in movies.
@MattyDanner
I must say, the pilot is some of the most impressive stuff I've ever seen being done with puppet animation. The line between the 3D and 2D assets is practically imperceptible.
It's a legit visual masterpiece.
@TheDustyLeaves
I... I can't even begin to understand this
Like, does this person deliberately fail a driver's test because they don't like hitting the brakes?
@SouthpauzArt
And I get it, Ozai punishes Zuko's compassion because he refuses to hurt his father, but Zuko shouldn't want to fight back at all. The fact that he even goes through with it until the very last moment is a complete misunderstanding of where Zuko's "dishonor" comes from.
EXCLUSIVE: โScavengers Reignโ has been canceled at Max, but all hope is not yet lost for the show.
Beginning on May 31, Season 1 of the animated animated sci-fi drama will begin streaming on Netflix.
@MattWilliames
Plenty of people are abrasive, but my problem with him isn't that he's rude.
It's because he has a history of saying factually inaccurate things, with an agenda to stir up divisions and hatred and a motive of profit and political gain. Rudeness isn't nearly his biggest problem.
@shaun_jen
"You see, the Anti-Bad People are exactly the same as the Bad People!
The Bad People want to drink your blood, whereas the Anti-Bad People want to beat them up for drinking people's blood!"
@VoicesByZane
Further down he says "Yes, artists make the things I love, but their value is dictated by the people willing to pay money for them"
Beyond the obvious disregard for art having value beyond the monetary, that's Burke's theory of value, which claims value is the same as price.
@Worthikids
WAIT A SECOND.
Does the line "I don't normally need help catching you freakazoids" mean that Cesare is a CLOWN HUNTER?!
HE CATCHES CLOWNS, THAT'S HIS JOB.
HE'S BEEN SENT UP FROM HELL TO CATCH CLOWNS.
@VoicesByZane
I think what centrists simply do not get is that the entire world is primed, locked and loaded for a populist movement to sweep it. The only question is, will it be "The Poor vs The Rich", or "Fascists vs Everyone Else".
The way things are headed, I see it being the latter.
There were a lot of unfair bad faith criticisms levied against Steven Universe, but I think that for a kid's show it did an amazing job at keeping its theme clear and constantly present.
Self-expression, identity, and compassion in spite of great adversity are always at its core.

"Wrong", huh? Tell me, what will those in power deign to be "wrong", and what consequences will they reach for?
If the answer to the first is "whatever they want" and the answer to the second is "baton rounds", then I and everyone who tries to protest has something to fear.
Happy

The particularly hilarious thing about Toshiro falling for Farlyn is that if he HAD ended up in a relationship with her, he would have permanently chained himself to Laios too
Even in the best case scenario he would have severely cursed himself
@shaun_vids
To borrow a metaphor from Marty O'Donnell, if you want the goose to keep laying golden eggs, you have to treat it well and feed it right.
But venture capitalists don't want golden eggs. They want foie gras.
@RespectfulMemes
By the way, if y'all see people going "I don't get it" in the replies to this, check their profiles first.
It's possible that transphobes are trying to bait you into an argument where they get to share their awful bigotries. Don't let them. Check the profile, block and move on.
