Character: Is A White Man. That’s It.

as promised (thumbs up) heres a lil uhhhh simple breakdown of how i general do fur things! can be applied to hair in general and also clouds and grass depending on how you work it (thumbs up pt2) feel free to request other tutorials 

it just. it would be so easy to replace hunting-exotic-wildlife tourism with photographing-exotic-wildlife tourism. it's the perfect solution. rich tourists would still get to spend their money going to the same countries and feeling cool about demonstrating a "skill" by using expensive rented equipment to "shoot" rare animals, under guidance by local experts. they would even still end up with a souvenir to hang on their wall as a trophy (professional-grade photography they shot themselves). it's the perfect solution

So Netflix is releasing this animated movie but here’s the thing - all backgrounds are done in AI. No actual BG artists were hired or credited for this work.

And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. Check this out:

“+Human”. No names, no nothing. 

I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill. 

Hilarously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan.

The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.

oh buddy you gotta see this bat

A Hannya art I drew with a single color if I remember correctly, rocking a pair of earrings!

Fun fact: I've refiltered this to red and created myself an etui with this!
