Miles and Gwen outfit development art for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse by JesĂşs Alonso Iglesias (Miles Morales) (Gwen Stacy)
the folds are just scribbles, but they make complete sense?
Osamu Tezuka and Carl Barks were long-time friends. They began correspondance in the early 1940âs, giving Tezuka the inspiration to create his 1949 manga, Metropolis. Tezuka idolized Barks, his art style directly imitating his and Walt Disneyâs.
Barks and Tezuka continued to be friends, exchanging letters, post cards, and ideas for comics until Tezuka died in 1989.

what's with the fifth name thing?
I think I need to explain how names work amongst French-speakers of origin first.Â
Also, little reminder I wasnât raised nor live in France. Iâm a francophone living on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, so there might be nuances and France specifities I may not be aware of.
In French, our naming conventions is âPrĂŠnomâ and âNomâ.Â
The âPrĂŠnomâ is your name. We call it a âprĂŠnomâ because it precedes the âNomâ which is the name of your family.Â
We have no specific number of prĂŠnoms to give to a child to respect. In Catholic culture, the norm is 3, but it is a suggested number. No one was going to punish you if you only give 2 prĂŠnoms or added an extra one. It usually starts with a Saint name then followed up by two other names your parents wanted to give to you.Â
So, for example, letâs say two French catholic parents decided to name their child : Pierre Francis Olivier. Thatâs his given name. Which prĂŠnom is used though is up to his parents and later himself. We have no rules regarding which prĂŠnom of the given name is THE one. In the past, it was commonly the last one of the given names. Nowadays, itâs mostly the first (probably because you arenât as forced to pick a saint name first).Â
However, like Iâve said, there is no clear limit of prĂŠnoms parents can give to one of their children that Iâm aware of. They could be minimalist and only give a total of one or two prĂŠnoms or liked several prĂŠnoms or wanted to pay hommage to people they love and decided to put all on the prĂŠnoms inside their childâs given name
But hereâs the thing, we donât use our other prĂŠnoms, not even in most of our legal documents. When I am filling a form or signing a paper, I am not writing my entire given name. I am not even putting any initial indicating the prĂŠsence of my other prĂŠnoms. I only write down the prĂŠnom I use to identify myself with and my family name.
We donât use our other prĂŠnoms like Americans use their second name. When our parents are angry at us, they donât say our full given name. Just our prĂŠnom and our nom.Â
We do have compound prĂŠnoms but thatâs another topic and Iâm extrapolating too much now.
Anyway, if someone of French origin tells you âOh that is my fifth prĂŠnomâ, itâs simply mean that in their given name, the fifth prĂŠnom they have is this one.
And no we donât celebrate our other prĂŠnoms of our given name xD Thatâs just Marinette being extra as always. It was only a pretext she has found to give him a present without wanting it to be too weird (and the date gave her a deadline). And even though itâs very unusual, it was nonetheless cute and harmless.
Donât overthink it too much.Â
On majority, French people have their first name (prĂŠnom) and two other names. From what I saw, they could come from the god parents or the grands parents, but they arenât used and only figured on the ID. Once in high school, they used my second name because there was another girl who had the same first and last names than me, so it was to difference ourselves from each other. But that was the only case where I used my second name.
Adrien has fifth names, meaning Adrien [name] [name] [name] Athanase Agreste is his full name. Yes, I finally pick Adrienâs fifth name. (I first heard Santanas and thought: nope, canât be that one xD) It means âimmortalâ in ancient greek so⌠another clue he could be a sentiperson? O.oÂ
Thank you for your addition! Very much appreciated ^^Â

What's the difference between a "Sugarcube episode" and a "RDK episode"?
Iâll try to explain, even if itâs a bit hard without pointing out things in real time on a video: RDK animates by drawing the frames by hand, on paper, to then scan them and color and edit them digitally, while Sugarcube does everything digitally, working with vectors (in Toon Boom). So Sugarcube outlines are extremely smooth, clean, often with the same thickness all over the frame (look at the difference in the eyes outline)
Meanwhile RDK ones, being hand drawn, on paper, are less smooth, and sometimes you can see where the pen left the sheet
The way the characters are drawn is also quite different, in some scenes, but thatâs not always as obvious or apparent. The one below is an extreme example.
Thatâs probably because Sugarcube animates all episodes by strictly following the proportions of the character sheets, so they look the same in every episode, while RDK seems to adapt the style of the individual episodes to those of the storyboarders who worked on it: some draw the characters with biggers eyes, some with bigger irises, some draw them a bit taller / slimmer, some draw their heads biggerâŚ
Similar pose, very different proportions
As mentioned earlier Sugarcube draws using vectors, so the models can be rescaled indefinitely without loosing quality or details: characters seen in the distance are just smaller versions of the usual models
Meanwhile RDK draws by hand, so obviously small, fast moving details are going to have less details, since thereâs a physical (and efficiency) limit to the way one can ink.
I got a new scanner so I can finally unload some star doodles iâve had horded awayÂ

Learning how to animate like Milt Kahl (of Walt Disney Animation Studios)
Recently I found myself fascinated by the work of Milt Kahl. He worked at Walt Disney Animation Studios from 1934 to 1976 and was famous for his way of animating âhead swaggles.â He is widely regarded as one of the best animators to ever live. However, I havenât found many examples of people trying replicate his techniques. It feels very much like âOh his work is so amazing, I could never animate like that!âÂ
WHY NOT? If Milt Kahl could figure it out, why canât someone else? So here are a few rough animations I made trying to figure out the head swaggle.Â
-The First Head Swaggle Test
This first attempt was made before I really dissected how Kahl actually animated the swaggle. The bulk of this was animated in about 45 minutes. Mostly I was testing the waters here. Itâs not quite right, but Iâm still pretty happy with it.Â
-The Look and Pivot Swaggle Test
Around here, I realized that there is a trick to the swaggle: they are all guided by the nose. Many of Kahlâs best head swaggles are on characters with very pronounced noses or muzzle areas (Shere Khan from the Jungle book, Edgar from the Aristocats, Tigger, etc). Very often the nose acts as a pivot point for the swaggle. It will stay relatively still while the whole head swivels around it. Even though I had figured that out, I wasnât fully satisfied with the swaggle in this animation. Too subtle. I had to try again.
-Full Pivot Swaggle Test
I wanted to fully commit to the pivot swaggle with no ease in or out. Having a slightly more defined head shape definitely helps with making it appear more three dimensional. The secondary action of the ears also helps sell the movement. While still a little rough, Iâm pretty pleased with how it turned out!
-Final Thoughts
It was a lot of fun trying to figure this out. Iâll likely continue to study Kahlâs work to further improve as an animator. Iâm not going to say it wasnât hard, because it was! Even with using animation software and animating on twos, it was hard.Â
I would love to see more people give this test a try! Milt Kahl was an extremely talented and skilled animator. But, I worry that others see this level of skill as unobtainable. It is obtainable! Itâs not Disney magic, but it is a cool magic trick ;)
shoutout to the slow artists. the artists with hardly any time for art. the artists who reach the end of the day with no energy for art. you got this i believe in you and you are no less valued than anyone else
to be clear. when i say artist i mean every kind of art. drawing writing music sculpting embroidery idc this post was for you and i am sending my love your way
Here's another one of my G3 My Little Pony Ponyville backcards. This one has a bunch of different sets on it. ^v^
