Steven gets a hold of a magical time travel device and does what any kid would do - he uses it to make jokes. But toying with magic draws trouble to his sleepy beach town and Steven has to step up and save the day - with more jokes.

STEVEN UNIVERSE LOOKS AMAZING!!! WATCH THE PREVIEW!!!

I can’t see it because Canada, but you all should check this out! I have no doubt it’s amazing. And lemme know when it’s on youtube or something.

THIS LOOKS AMAZING!

My mom just called me over to the TV to show me this ADORABLE and super-well animated commercial for Oreos with a jingle sung by Owl City.

I’ve never seen a commercial so charming and fun! The song is def gonna be stuck in my head.

Also, does anybody know who animated it? It’s very good!!

I really really like this commercial. I get so happy when it comes on my tv! You know why?? It’s not promoting greed and violence the way some other food commercials do, but instead it’s advocating sharing and the idea of “maybe if we’re kind to others, they’ll pay that kindness forward.” and I think that’s something that we really need right now.

Also, the song is super catchy so there’s that as well. hahah!

Everyone on my Tumblr dash, PLEASE watch this. Especially if you are a creative artist:

Adobe is going to scrap their hard copies (disks) for their software (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Flash), and have you pay a subscription for the latest software called the Adobe Creative Cloud. $50 per month. Could you really afford such an expense in the long run?

This is really disturbing. Please hear what he has to say, it really is a serious situation for working artists. Pass this along so others may know about the Adobe Creative Cloud and how horrible it is.

Yep… Just went to see how much Flash costs. You know, to just buy the program? Guess what? After spending a while looking, it appears that you CAN’T anymore. You have to pay an outrageous subscription fee. I hate adobe. Is there a petition going around to stop this nonsense? Because I want to sign it.

http://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-incorporated-eliminate-the-mandatory-creative-cloud-subscription-model

Thanks! I know a lot of artists and people who like art follow me. You guys should go sign that.

Today I just signed the petition in the voice against the Adobe Creative Cloud. For those who are not familiar with what the new Creative Cloud can do to you as an artist, I really suggest you watch this video.

For those who have seen, reblogged, faved, here’s the link (as shown in the previous reblog) to sign the petition. Anything can happen, Adobe really needs to know that many artists are not supportive of them controlling not just the software..but the content worked on the Cloud.

Signed! Boosting the signal, I prefer to be able to buy my software.

I’m not going to fucking SUBSCRIBE to Photoshop. What the fuck do you expect me to tell people, “sorry, can’t do your commission this month. Couldn’t afford the Photoshop rent”?

This is why I use Corel Painter :|b So few people seem to and I don’t understand why. It’s so much cheaper, super versatile, and doesn’t have this bullshit surrounding it :/

This would bankrupt most small animation companies. They would be forced to a) ask for more money from clients and be passed over for cheaper places (which would give them less contracts, force them to fire most staff, and eventually (probably) close). B) be forced to switch to a new program and retrain their current team or hire a new one.

And not even just companies; this would hurt anyone who freelances, wants to learn the program, schools…

anthonyholden: What are studios looking for? How can I get into...

Thu, 16 May 2013 13:05:46 -0400

anthonyholden:

What are studios looking for? How can I get into a good animation school? What should I be studying?

I get a lot of these types of questions now and again, and I never know how to answer them. I can’t be sure of what studios are looking for, I don’t control admissions policies to schools, and I have little idea what makes for a current and relevant curriculum. There are a lot of variables in your bid for a career in animation, and it’s kind of impossible to control most of them. You must be crazy to want this job!

I find it helpful to focus on the things I can control. Among those things are your study habits and how you spend your personal time. It’s good to work hard and have goals—without them we would get nowhere. Study hard and make decisive strides towards achieving your art goals. But in the heat of that pursuit, don’t forget to go out and live your life!

If you spend any amount of time looking at artists online, you’ve probably figured out by now that there are about a million dudes and dudettes in internetville who draw better than you (I relive this realization daily). Once your have done your best to rise to their level, the only tool you have to compete with these crazy talents is your background, your personal character—is you!

Consider developing your whole self with the same raw focus and intensity that you develop a particular skill set. Get focused. Go out, have adventures. Run, jump, skin your knee, fall in love, root loudly for the away team at a baseball game, barely escape a crash of stampeding rhinos, live to see another day. Experience things big and small. Go for a walk. The world is full of wonders.

I know this advice is not particularly animation-specific, but maybe that’s for the best. At any rate, it is something I feel strongly about. Animation is great, and there are few things that I enjoy doing more than drawing and storytelling. But in order to have stories to tell, first you have to live them.

Be good, and see you soon!

PS, if you were looking for advice on draftsmanship you should probably be reading this.

jigokuen:

I’ve been watching Penny Arcade’s Strip Search as of late, and I find it oddly addictive. By reality show standards it comes off awkward at times, but I find it even more relatable! So for their Elimination challenges, artists choose 2 ideas at random and have to concoct a comic within the 90 minute time limit. Some fans of the show have been doing the challenge on their own, and posting it on twitter!

This week’s topics were Roller Skates and Dinosaurs.

See other entries on twitter here!

Disclaimer: I actually do not know Dinosaur species. So all this is probably wrong.

alexdraws:

Man, it took me a while to get back to this! So this is a basic “what if” animation. The folks at WayForward are remaking the old DuckTales NES game as “DuckTales Remastered,” so I decided I’d try to mimic what they did for the Rescue Rangers NES game!

I animated all of the performable actions you can do as Chip based on some sprite sheets I found from the original game. I’m gonna upload a full video of it eventually, once I can get the export to look better. That way it can be seen without a break in the action.

Here’s hoping they actually go forward with a Rescue Rangers remake!

YES!!!!!!

^{So… Things have come full circle.
Somehow they always do. You know how I feel about you… right?
How we both feel… Yes.}

When I was 12 or 13, I went on vacation in Florida (back in the 90s) with friends and there I discovered Gargoyles on the Disney Channel. I made my friends watch it with me like every night at 1-2am while eating Cocoa Pebbles. I didn’t have Disney back home, so it was the only time I ever got to watch Gargoyles.

But now….. NOW I have the internet!!!
