I've been a big fan of YouTuber NerdSync (Scott Niswander) for a while now. His videos are always interesting, I find him amusing, and his passion for...well, everything, but especially Scooby-Doo, is just wonderful.

His latest, about why the original Scooby-Doo episode was "too scary for children" is on a whole 'nother level. He follows the thread to some truly thoughtful places. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This video is so informative!
I didn't know most #animators were freelancers in Japan.

It talks about the value of a good business model when embarking on projects.

Been thinking about getting a dedicated graphics tablet for my Windows system. I love #Astropad but I'm having a hard time justifying $130+ CAD a year when I can pick up a similar dedicated one for not much more.

So #animators #DigitalArt folx

#OTD Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎 駿) was born in 1941. His wildly popular animated films beautifully bring themes like environmentalism, feminism, communism, and pacifism to life. He refused to attend the Oscars due to the US’s involvement in Iraq, and he has openly critiqued Shinzo Abe and his militarism, Western leaders, and industrial civilization in general.

Hi, #Krita #Animators , would Krita be able to do motion graphics like these #Armello cards? I've always wanted to try something like it (you know, flickering candles, tails wagging, stuff like that). Or is there a better program (#Natron ?) for this kinda thing? I have no idea what I'm doing. #AskMasto
