Saw someone refer to Cartoon Saloon as the Irish Studio Ghibli and…

Yes. Yes it is. Seriously, watch their films if you have not had the pleasure already. Whether it’s the Irish Mythology trilogy

Or The Breadwinner, and upcoming ‘My Father’s Dragon’ with Netflix.

Watch these films. They are masterpieces of modern animation and innovation. I did my first film final on ‘The Breadwinner’ and have no regrets.

Andor having Mon Mothma’s daughter gravitate towards the oppressive practices of her family’s ancestral culture as a way to rebel against a mother that has purposefully distanced herself from them is both one of the smartest and cruelest storytelling moves that this show has done to date. Ouch ouch ouch

[image description: it's a drawing of a redesigned version of the Tusken people from Star Wars. They have more elements from the source inspiration for their original designs, so they look more human and less like barbarian-monsters. One element that I'd like to undeline is the Bantha tusks on their clothes. Each Tusken person has their own Bantha and they only get one in their lives, so the baby teeth from their Bantha are kept and treated like precious reminders of that moment when their Bantha chose them. Everything they're wearing is different shades of brown to blend in with different parts of the desert. There is two people in the drawing: a Guard, who's tasked with keeping territories safe and a Pilgrim, whose role is to find and protect wells and water. End of i.d.]

I'll do several of these, and y'all are more than welcome to give me feedback I don't mind

Rain

I finally finished this comic! Took me forever but it’s here! I’ve always found it fascinating that the three protagonists of each Star Wars trilogy is from a desert planet. I try to imagine how they reacted to seeing rain for the first time, the parallels between their situations at its strongest
