Astronaut readjusts to life back on Earth
> Don’t give him a baby for a while.
HE GRABS THE CUP BUT THEN HE DROPS THE PEN 0.0003 SECONDS LATER
AND HE LOOKS UP AT THE CEILING INSTEAD OF AT THE GROUND WHEN HE CAN’T FIND THEM
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING HE JUST DROPS IT
IT’S NOT FUNNY IT’S VERY LOGICAL THAT HE WOULD HAVE ADJUSTED TO LIVING LIFE WHILE HE WAS IN SPACE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFERENT FROM EARTH BUT I CAN’T FUCKING BREATHE
*THUNK*
i love it so much every time i see it
It’s October! You know what that means... 🎃 (via kxvo)
all my life I’ve somehow only ever seen the gifs of this. I never even knew that the pumpkin man was dancing to the Ghostbusters theme. This whole thing is so much better than I ever could have expected from the gifs omg
It’s time to get SPOOKY

It’s that time again.
I can’t believe this is happening AGAIN
I’ve been hearing a lot about this so to clarify:
This is Disney’s fault. Not Sony’s. Remember: Disney owns Marvel Studios.
Sony actually covered the production costs of all of Tom Holland’s Spiderman movies, not Disney.
The contract that Sony and Disney had been working with was Sony gets 90% of the earnings for the new Spiderman movies (since they still own the copyright to the character), in exchange for Disney’s (and thusly Marvel’s) use of the character in the MCU, and on official Marvel/Disney merchandise. (Which Disney gets the profits from.)
With me so far? Sony gets 90% of the movie profits. Disney gets 10% of movie profits, and (I believe) 100% of the merchandise profits.
Disney recently decided that a 90/10 split isn’t enough for the multi-billion dollar corporation, and wanted to revise their contract with Sony to an even 50/50 take of the spoils.
The Problem: This was the exact contract Disney and Marvel pitched to Sony back during Andrew Garfield’s tenure as Spiderman, which Sony refused to even humor. So obviously, Sony is PISSED.
Negotiations are still on the table, of course, to keep Tom Holland’s Spiderman in the MCU, but unless Disney can calm tf down with their bs, Sony plans to break from the deal, and take their rights to Spiderman and leave. (Since Sony technically still owns all of the rights to Spiderman.)
The Problem 2.0: Marvel fans and Tom Holland stans are blaming Sony for the disagreement, when the fault falls onto Disney and their greed.
Due to this misguided anger, the hashtag “Boycott Sony” is taking social media by storm and, in a best case scenario, infulence Sony into a deal with Disney for more than Disney deserves. In a worst case scenario, Sony will see the boycott and start a war with Disney, and we’ll never see Tom Holland’s Spiderman again. (Tom was Stan Lee’s favorite Spiderman/Peter Parker btw.)

In Elmo’s voice: “I only had three lines!”
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
someone: oh yeah, do this exercise during your warm ups! it’ll help
me: my what
What’s up I have an actual college degree in art and I was never ONCE taught to do warm ups.
when i was in undergrad, it was kind of mentioned in and offhand way that we should do warmups, but we were never shown what that meant. And, y’know, we were young so it didn’t matter so much.
Being older now and having an art job it’s…kind of essential.
So: a quick primer for those of you who are like ‘ok but how do i actually go about doing this warmup thing.’
1) you may be tempted to do ‘a warmup drawing’ which is just a drawing that will take longer than it needed to and probably be frustrating and kind of bad because you didn’t warm up first. It’s tempting but always a trick your brain is playing on you! Do not trust!
2) warmups will vary based on what feels good to you/what task you’re about to do/what motor skills you want to practice. That being said, some good standbys:
a) circles. Just a whole page of circles on whatever drawing surface you’re going to be using, whether that’s your tablet or your sketchbook or a drawing pad on an easel. For these circles you should make sure that you’re drawing from your shoulder and not your wrist. In fact, you want to be drawing from your shoulder rather than your wrist most of the time! forever! your wrist is delicate please preserve it!
In order to ensure that you’re drawing from your shoulder, when you’re holding your pencil or whatever drawing tool you’re using, the only part of your hand that should be touching the drawing surface is part of the last two fingers–some people prefer the finger tips, but I tend to favor the first knuckles. Either way, the fingers should really be ghosting over the surface, providing guidance rather than support.
I usually start with big circles and then go to smaller circles and lines of ellipses, and then try to fit circles and ellipses inside other shapes i’ve already drawn as a precision exercise, but i don’t do that unless i’m feeling loose
b) spirals! i don’t always do spirals, but if i’m stiff and the circles just aren’t cutting it, spirals are a good fall back. I start from the center and work outward, going both clockwise and counterclockwise until i feel comfortable with the whole range of motion. Some people really care about getting perfect spirals but for me it’s all about making sure i’m comfortable with how i’m moving so who really even cares about how the spirals look. Not me!
c) lines! straight lines! in parallel! i do a mix of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. These are often more from the elbow than the shoulder, especially if I’m working on a smaller surface. For this exercise, I recommend holding the drawing tool perpendicular with the surface
d) connect the dots. This is a precision and accuracy exercise and takes two forms. The first is to draw two dots and then draw a straight line between them. The second is to draw three dots and draw the curve that connects them. This sounds a lot simpler than it is in practice. Take time to ghost over the line you plan to draw before actually committing to your line. (I don’t always remember where I picked up my warm up exercises, but I’m pretty sure I got this one from Scott Robertson. His how to draw and how to render books are very technical but also accessible and worth checking out)
e) cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders. These help get your brain into a more volumetric space. I draw multiples of each, rotating the forms around, and I’ll often take the time to do some rough shading on at least a few of them
f) spidermans! This one is really good if you’re going to be storyboarding or working on dynamic poses. Just fill a page full of spidermans doing all sorts of acrobatics.
g) beans. I don’t do beans too much anymore, but I know a lot of people like it so I’m mentioning it here. Fill an area with different size bean shapes without lifting your pencil off the paper.
h) short medium and long line repetition. draw a short, medium, and long line on your page, and then draw directly on top of them 8 to 12 times, doing your best to exactly trace what you’ve already drawing. Repeat with a wavy line. I’m bad at this one, which means I probably need to do it more.
And there are lots more options too! Hit up youtube to see what other people recommend, put together your own go-to list, mix it up when you’re getting bored, etc.
This is a long list, I know, but I usually don’t take more than 10 to 15 minutes to warm up, and I can warm up one handed while I’m drinking coffee, so, multitasking hurrah.
Sometimes I’ll advance to a precision warmup and find that I haven’t loosened up enough yet; it’s totally ok to go back to an earlier exercise! Also, all of this has the added benefit of kind of ritualistically getting you into the drawing mode so even if I’m not feeling it before I start, by the time I’ve gotten to the end I’m usually Ready For Drawin’. Brain hacks.
so, yeah! that’s a lot of words, but! Warmups are important! Save your joints, take less advil, do better drawings!
In Memory of the Victims
The names of those who passed away in KyoAni’s arson attack are finally being revealed, so a dedication for them and their contributions to the animation world seems in order right now. In respect to the deceased, I’ve refrained from posting pictures of their faces and opted for using their works as a form of recognition instead.
Director Takemoto Yasuhiro
Color designer Ishida Naomi
In-between animator Uda Junichi
Key animator Kigami Yoshiji
Finish animator Tsuda Sachie
Key animator Kuriki Ami
Production manager Yokota Keisuke
Art director Watanabe Mikiko
Character designer Nishiya Futoshi
And newly hired staff members Oomura Yuuki and Kasama Yuka
May all of them rest in peace, and let us never forget their names.
Vocal warmups.
This is basically how you break their voices down to a root noise
so, at last, here’s my year movie: a seal cancan!
because of my condition’s worsening, i couldn’t finish animating more than a third of it, so this video is the combination of all the storyboard, rough & clean animation i did on this project. please enjoy it!
It’s absolute perfection~! We are not worthy!

In the hall of the mountain king
the floofiest munchkin
why would anyone think its ok to breed a cat to look like this?
munchkin cats are a result of a naturally occurring genetic mutation, it’s not a result of cats having their legs bred down for their short size as is the case for daschunds. munchkin cats experience no physical deformities or abnormalities in their legs or as a result of their legs
I absolutely refused to believe that comment and went to look for myself. Turns out it’s true, munchkins are extremely healthy breeds. The mutation only affects health in the fetal stage, which means unhealthy kittens don’t survive to be born at all and never suffer. Rarely they experience a curvature of the spine called lordosis, and cats with this condition are very short-lived, but this isn’t unique to munchkins and can affect cats of all sizes.
So I’ve been railing against the breeding of munchkin cats for years for no reason, apparently. Sorry, cats.
Justice for munchkin owners
