TODAY, August 12, 2024, The Animation Guild begins negotiations with the AMPTP to win a new contract for animation. This is a huge fight with severe stakes for the future of the Animation Industry in the US, and the guild needs your support!
TAG is fighting, Right Now, to stop exploitative practices that are weaponized against animation professionals across the globe, and working hard to ensure this industry has a future here in the states.
If you are a fan of animation, whether it's major or independent studios, eastern or western, tv or movies, we need you to get LOUD in support of The Animation Guild. The crews who work so hard to bring these works to life are struggling to pay their bills, if they can find work at all, while studio CEOs are getting multi-million dollar raises to cancel projects and gut streaming libraries.
We can win this fight, but we need public outcry and support. If you work in animation, if you've ever dreamed of working in animation, or if you just love animation, please stand with TAG and support the union effort to keep animation a viable career and a valuable medium!

Well I invented my watermark (and I think I will change it as soon as I have one more “me” in my head)
And I invented an AU, mixing Monster Falls and Cats Don’t Dance called:
“Sphinxes don’t think”
In which Mosnters are trying to get the job of their liking or dreams and are denied by humans. (yeah the probleme is that it’s a “been there done that” with everything)
Ford is trying to be a head scientist for the Northwest laboratory, but reality slaps him later in the face when he makes a mistake and finally sees that Mosnters are in a rank of Job a bit below from the humans.
Yeah in big Ford is the optimistic Danny and Bill is the sarcastic yet hopeful Sawyer.
And no, Bill isn’t powerful here, he can’t even fly duo to him being part golem and part cheetah sphinx.
And yes it was supposed to be a BillFord AU (Warning: if you don’t like BillFord is fine, just do not put hate message and don’t round up a mob.)
and since I came to multiple dead ends concerning this AU, I might concern it dead or at least in a coma since I can’t stop to draw the characters.
well that’s that. And again do not steal!
Gravity Falls belong to Disney and Alex Hirsch
(I blame @MochuMochuuu on twitter)
maybe they catfished someone XD
In 2022, Hiveworks introduced Micro Comic Summer, an online comic challenge shared via the #MicroComicSummer tag on varied social media channels.
Micro Comic Summer is one of many online art challenges that bring creators together to complete a project and share their work with their community. Other well-known examples of art challenges include Hourly Comic Day, where artists draw a comic panel for every hour of their day, and Inktober (along with its inspired spin-offs), a daily illustration challenge in October.
Micro Comic Summer focuses on sustainable art practices, story craft, and art exploration, by encouraging creators to take an entire summer to draw a 4-page comic.
The rules of Micro Comic Summer are as follows:
Rule 1- Tell a story in four pages. This rule is possibly the most challenging aspect: to be succinct and efficient with your page count. Some creators have used this challenge as an opportunity to redraw old webcomic pages or introduce new readers to their pre-existing characters and story. What story you tell is completely up to you!
Rule 2 - You have all summer (or winter, for the southern hemisphere) to do it. From June to the end of August, take your time to perfect your paneling, edit your story, and choose your palette thoughtfully. There is no need to make snap decisions or cut corners for this challenge. The timeframe is meant to encourage exploration and growth.
Rule 3 - Share it online. Use the tag #MicroComicSummer to share your work with others on August 31. Contribute to the conversation around comic artist working conditions.
While Hiveworks introduced Micro Comic Summer, anyone is free to participate. Participation in the tag does not mean you’re submitting your work to us, nor does it mean we own it. It’s just a hashtag, for fun.
We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
🌟 Don’t forget to visit the tag to see what artists have created in 2022 and 2023!
😎 For long form webcomics, check out Hiveworks' amazing library of works, all free to read!

Been drawing this cute little cinnamon roll all December. This is some character study of Jack Frost from one of the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, Frosty's Winter Wonderland. So I draw him and some ideas popped up here and there like the icicle claws came when I was watching Wednesday. Then I got @emiimagination interested in the Frosty shorts and the other Christmas specials and we came up with an AU for our reinterpretation of the R/B Christmas specials cinematic universe. And yes the E.T chest glowing is part of the AU. I had traditional pencils to color with. I'm not too displeased about the colour rendering ^^. So yeah I'm posting the drawings I've already made (hope to post more if more comes).
My first thrift store rescue and porcelan doll custom. Still proud of how they came out.
I’m not crazy. My reality is just different than yours.
