New Tag Game

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.

I got bored during work and decided for some reason that TD!Leo/Trainee turned into a baby

non-canon, he didn't actually have a shell crack at this age, nor does he canonically turn into a small baby

And that devolved into the other Sep AU Leos (specifically One from @dianagj-art's SLAU and Red from @red-rover-au's RR!AU) trying to get little Trainee to hold a knife

They eventually managed to get him to hold the knife on his own :)

Here is the hastily done finger-on-phone sketch I did during my work break that lead to this

ft. @raymustardd's TN!Leo/Green being the only one not wanting to give the tot a knife

I started drawing Human!Donnie and pretty soon I was just sketching Human!Rise boys in some of my favorite moments.

Aka my beautiful boys being themselves.

This episode is EVERYTHING to me. Representation is really growing!

“I may process moments and thoughts differently, but it does not mean that I feel any less than you.” This episode was so, so special to me for that moment alone. ;u; Thank you, TBB crew!

Some WIPS I had sitting around since August that I never got around to finishing because school. May come back when I have the time to complete them…but for right now. I just needed some wholesome stuff after all the angst I’ve been drawing…
