Advice for everyone out there, instead of spending your $30-40 a month to the (soon to be) government-controlled media machine. Support like 5-10 of your favorite creators with a simple $1/month. The more support we have, the more we can take on this monopolizing.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

404media.co

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

I will say, that the drought that animation is experiencing is making me respect that The Simpsons are at least providing people job security. Smiling Friends ending is kind of leaving a sour taste in my mouth with how they had 2 seasons lined up and now the crew got that pulled out from under them.

We are in the rare and unique position where indie animation can be unique creative visions unfettered by corporate interference or IP shit

Why would you, as the fan, demand that the vision of the creator, who you claim to love, bend to your demands

Could be my like of social skills, but I keep getting stumped on figuring out how characters should interact between each other when trying to write.

Drawing of the characters Max and Chloe from the video game "Life is Strange" meeting Swann, Kat, Autumn and Nora from the video game "Lost Records Bloom & Rage".

Max asks "Gee Swann! How come DON'T NOD lets you have three girlfriends?"

Swann, holding the other three girls proudly answers "Abyss!"

The drawing is a reference to an old ad for skinless wieners that became a meme.

Remastered my fanart for the #LostRecords anniversary. It's a great Life is Strange spiritual successor by some of the original creators!

Fanart of "Video Shop of Horror". A shorter woman is standing in front of a tall Frankenstein-Lady, who has detached her head and is holding it at the height of the other woman, so they can kiss. The shorter woman seems a bit terrified. The caption reads "You make me feel lightheaded".

An early development digital drawing in color depicting Frankie and Andi, covered in android blood, in front of an early concept for the Repair Halo which had lots more details. An android (that was not necessarily Gwen at the time) lays between them, mid operation.

KOG IS GREENLIT!
Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

Drawing.

Someone off-screen asks: "How can you be a trans woman and a lesbian? Doesn’t that make you straight?"

Trans woman with long hair and painted nails, wearing a beanie, a tank top, shirt and hotpants: "None of the women dating this are straight!!"

Coming soon: Clara & the Below - episode 1 From "Amphibia" creator Matt Braly - an animated gothic horror spin on the Nutcracker full of wintery chills and somber vibes.

Ya, It probably couldn't be 100% independent like Iron Lung was and it'd have to be with Neon or A24 or something so more like the Rucka Rucka route rather than the Markiplier route

With Independent film progressing with films like Iron Lung. I hope we can someday see Indie Animation breakout of the YouTube field as well. I'd be there Day 1 if Glitch Productions released something theatrically

Indie Animation (if you don't use Blender) is gonna be forced into pirate software in all positions cause corpos want to force you into AI horseshit that's currently burning their money piles.

Look animation is the bane of modern financialization. Its slow, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. Its also always popular. They can’t help but try to destroy it along the way. But it never dies.
