*shuffles Shyly Into Your Ask Box*

Also I find it suspicious that Toby specifically told fangamer to not make any merch of the lightener characters because apparently of possible drastic story development regarding to the lightener cast and I definitely think it is to ensure that no spoilers gets leaked out on merch

Woah, dang, he did that?

..yep! Apparently! Didn't realize he actually set a hard limit, I don't really go on Twitter. https://twitter.com/reidman/status/1444790336199356425 (this is one of the co-founders of fangamer, if anyone doesn't know.) I'll put some replies down, too (and pretend anyone who doesn't already know all this is reading lol).

("well im not gonna speculate" -immediately starts speculating xD)

Worth noting that the reasons for the limit are all speculation on this guy's part

It's definitely suspicious, huh? He might just be covering all his bases, judging by the "partly philosophical" thing. Not wanting to do merch for the lightners specifically definitely does make it seem like there's something to hide there, although there are pins and shirts (2D stuff) with some of them now, so..?

And the plushies... it occurs to me that having fun, quirky stuff inside instead of a soul is something Ralsei has in common with the skeleton brothers, though Toriel is the only one with a soul so that's probably irrelevant. Regardless, if Toby allowed plushies of the lightners, I'd think they could just have fun character-relevant stuff (or nothing at all like Lancer), no real worry of spoilers. If not wanting an in-progress character's plushie was the issue, then it's kinda weird we have two of Ralsei, even if he is a darkner.

Eh, well. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Would ya'll think less of me if I told you I unironically enjoyed watching Foodfight-

I mean- I watched Jontron and Microwave Society watch it and freak out over how bad it was. And since its on YouTube for free I figured why not give it a go? And yeah they were mostly right- the movie has a lot of issues besides just the terrible animation quality XD

But I wanna give credit where credit is due. Some of the stupid jokes made me laugh, some of the character dynamics were nice too. A few of em had fun personalities and they were fun to draw in my style. Sooo I give the movie a number out of 10, I'll probably watch it again XD

"All this digital art stuff, you know, it goes way over my head. But my wife, y'see, she has this cousin Lou. Now Lou's a real smart cookie, knows everything from Blender to Clip Studio, but the one thing they won't touch is AI. Says it wastes a whole lot of electricity for something that only looks good at a glance.

See, a computer, it can't think through things like a human can. You or I, when we look at a drawing of an apple, we can compare it to real apples we've seen. If you show us a drawing of some orange thing with spikes coming out every which way, well, we can tell you that sure doesn't look like an apple.

But a computer? All a computer can do is look at pictures of apples. And if you give that computer enough pictures of apples that are a little bit orange, or a little bit bumpy, well. It might just decide that spiky orange thing is an apple too. It takes a whole lot of pictures of apples to get the computer mostly good at guessing when things are apples or not.

Now, that's bad enough when you just want your computer to tell you what it sees. When you want a computer to make an image, though, that's where Lou says you really run into trouble. You put a piece of paper in front of me, give me a pencil, and tell me to draw an apple, it won't win any awards. But it'll be a new drawing. Nobody's ever drawn that exact same drawing the exact same way before.

But if you take your computer that's gotten pretty good at guessing when things are apples, and you tell it "okay, draw me an apple", it can't make a completely new drawing of an apple. Instead, it'll take the pictures you've given it and mash 'em together. Maybe, at the end, you won't be able to tell which pictures it used, but if you ask it for enough drawings of apples, you'll start seeing patterns...

I'm sorry, I'll get out of your hair. I know you have to get back to your painting.

Just one more thing... how many fingers does that man in the corner have?"

I actually liked madame web.

First, the lead character is a single woman in her 30's who talks with a cat. She is good at her job, has a real appartment, is socialy akward, has a best friend and doesn't know how to act around kids nor show any maternal insticts .

Yet, after die for a few minuts and have some weird visions, somehow, she founds herself taking care and saving the life of 3 tennagers, each of them with their personality and family strugles. Like, we have seen this trope of the hero becaming a reluctant parent dozen of times - The Mandalorian, Logan, Deadpool, Kenobi, Birds of Prey, etc - and I am pretty sure none of them could handle 3 teennager girls.

Then, among discovering her powers and learn how to use them to save those girls, she also heals from her own trauma of thinking she was the cause of her mother's death, that her mother hated her and growing up without her.

I also enjoy the fact that she doesn't have any romantic interest at all and at the end, is a representation that a person with disabilities can still be a hero and very loved by their found family.

I just would have changed the opening scene by cuting it out - it would have been way more impacting for the audience if we'd found about her mother past only when Cassie did.

But again, people are giving bad reviews just because it is a female superhero movie.

POV You Are a Feralist (Affini Model Demo)

Quick animation test I made in late 2021 in order to try out the affini character model I'd recently finished

Video description under the break

Video Description

A POV animation of an affini grabbing you with her vines. She tilts your head upwards to gaze into her sparkling eyes, and wags a finger disapprovingly as she smirks. Pointed vines position themselves menacingly in front of you and then jab forward. Your vision blurs as the affini smiles kindly and strokes the side of your head.

Pay no heed to the finite slice of the infinite checkerboard plane the animation takes place on; I didn't have any other suitable backgrounds at the time. Perhaps this is in one of those simulation decks from Divaricated or something
