Dang. Phos Looks Completely Human Now Thanks To The Mercury. I Guess They Are Still Unaware That If Sensei

Advice to aspiring 2D animators/storyboard artists/concept artists etc.:

Don't go to expensive art school

Don't work for low pay indie productions in hope of boosting your resume

Don't do cheap commissions

Don't post traced or AI art ever

Don't make animation your career

Stop telling yourself artistic skill = money

If you are in high school right now, do not go to college for animation. I'm so so serious. The animation industry is crumbling right now, and the last thing you should be doing is racking up college debt for a degree that will fail you.

Here are some things that you can do:

Use your creative skills for jobs outside of the entertainment industry

Work on personal projects

Do not feel like you have to spend your time marketing yourself on social media if you don't enjoy it

Collaborate with other artists on projects you actually want to work on

Widen your creative influences

Try new mediums

Keep private sketchbooks/journals

Allow yourself to flow through periods of creative highs and art block

Even if you 'make it' in the animation industry. It is highly likely you will get laid off, be overworked, or underpaid. Most likely all three.

I've been laid off by two studios, underpaid by all of my animation jobs with exception of two, and I'll name them so no one thinks I am accusing them. One was a small short film called Emaho where I got to set my own rates and pick my workload. And the other is Wild Card, which was commission based and priced by me. I have had three animation studio jobs, and all of them have either not paid me or paid me very little.

The last studio job made me finally quit the industry. It was the largest most prestigious studio I had ever worked for. And, with exception of the studio that paid me nothing as I was an intern, this studio paid me the worst wages of any job I've had. I had calculated my pay, and it was less than minimum wage in my state. The studio had hired me promising part time hours, but would often leave me without work for days. The managers were hard to reach. I had little to no contact with the other animators working at the studio. But it was my first and only credit in an animated show, so that's something.

This expierience has been echoed by my animator friends and coworkers. It is not a sustainable industry. It profits off of worker exploitation. Don't feed it with your time, money, and creativity.

"this game will save mascot horror!" then its the same as every other mascot horror im just failing to understand why people keep using the same concepts.. the defintion of mascot horror is so loose and yet people choose to do the same things with it

Update

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to post my new artwork since my iPad decided to break while I was trying to finish it. Pretty disappointed about it, but hopefully I’ll get a new one soon.

It’s already over…I can’t believe this…

Hello miss Amber, I have something that I think should be brought to your attention.

There’s an account claiming that they work for mob entertainment and they seem to be answering certain questions regarding Poppy Playtime’s lore (how the human characters act, when playtime.co was created, etc which should go against some sort of NDA contract that you guys may have?), and most people are believing them without hesitation.

Down below are some screenshots from the account.

Now I do not believe anything to what this person is saying at all due to their lack of evidence that they even work for Mob entertainment and how they act towards shipping with only the Smiling Critters.

They have also reposted art from you and a few other artists without giving credit.

If you need anything else regarding this account, I’ll be happy to share it with you.

Thank you for your time!

Like a goddamn clockwork, here I am again

Disclaimer: Same as every time. I’m an ex-theravada buddhist, studied that for a decade or so, but not mahayana like in hnk. Also most sources I know of are in thai/sanskrit, and my ability to translate those two into english is limited, so I can’t properly cite anything. However, if you take the sanskrit key words or names I mentioned here and google them, you will find additional information or the full explanation of them.

2. A theory about reincarnation

4. Caste system, its relationship with Buddhism and how it applies to Hnk

Lou: The Doll Killer AU

Ok so. During my time of getting started on my Uglydoll rewrite and strolling around the internet, I stumble upon this wiki page:

My Scripts Wiki

Uglydolls (2008 film)

UglyDolls is a 2008 animated musical adventure-comedy film directed by Scott Stewart and James McTeigue, from a screenplay written by Adam W

This wiki page is a made-up 2008 version of Uglydolls with the same premise, but changed the characters around a bit. The reason I bring this up, because it does something interest with Lou.

Instead of him being a prototype, he was a regular pretty doll that had a kid, but that kid replace him with an Uglydoll. This causes him to get jealous and have a burning hatred towards the Uglydolls. He then changed the factory's system, and founded the Institution of Perfection. Any Uglydoll that found its way into his institution, Lou would separate them by shredding them, which causes him to have this post-traumatic stress disorder due to how brutal it was.

Lou would be the doll killer of this version of Uglydolls, and at the end he would try to kill both the Uglies and Pretties with a Chain Kinger, only to be shredded by his own machine. A very dark, but interesting way of handling Lou's character as a whole. Him being pure evil, thirsty to get revenge on the Uglydolls, all because they made him lose his kid, and can to go to the big world.

I been thinking about after I'm done with my rewrite. I might do an AU of this version, since I could turn it into a murder mystery story or something. Idk. Just something I wanted to share since I didn’t see anyone talk about this wiki page.
