Hey, if you have HBO Max or access to a cable subscription: I have some friends who worked on Smiling Friends, [adult swim]’s new animated horror comedy. The sixth episode features a Bakshi-inspired character who was animated by some friends of mine, but the whole show in general is very funny. The show hits HBO Max on Feb 9th, and if you have cable, you can watch the entire series on adultswin.com right now. If you could give it a watch, that’d be real cool, because we really wanna see a second season get greenlit and online viewership is pretty much how they decide what gets renewed these days.

sigma move: say something incredibly racist, then act like someone else said it http://rainbowdash.net/url/876056

https://youtu.be/6JTTIeYqDYM quick & dirty solution to doing lipsync at profile view without having to recolor the otherwise stationary head every single frame. Learned this trick from a guy who works on Teen Titans Go. There’s basically a mask over the head which renders any piece of the face obscured by the mouth layer invisible, so you can see through to the other side when the character opens their mouth.

had a situation at my store that more or less boiled down to exactly this Simpsons scene http://rainbowdash.net/url/876043

“Virginia is for Lovers” is apparently a trademarked phrase, so I had to put something else on these vehicle registration plate textures. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876040

Matt

The writers apparently felt killing off Agnes Skinner would’ve been too upsetting but given the episode’s darker nature (and gorier - one of Fat Tony’s goons gets shot in the eyeball) I think it would’ve fit. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876032

Unrelated to anything else, I got a pay raise last night. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876029

I make very serious animations for adults http://rainbowdash.net/url/876023

here's the non-PBR CGI strat - use a textured outline and intentionally allow the program to make mistakes when generating outlines so that the image looks like it was hastily inked by an artist on a deadline\ http://rainbowdash.net/url/876021

today i learned that ralph bakshi still animates with pencils, paper, and a light table. what a guy http://rainbowdash.net/url/876007

Matt

I drew this one at work! http://rainbowdash.net/url/875990

Matt

this is him. you can kinda see how he might have maybe been based on George W. Bush but he was generic enough that it didn't really matter. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875957

Matt

http://rainbowdash.net/url/875932 spent part of today teaching myself cloth physics so that I could build a flagpole that eventually ended up looking like something out of the Family Guy video game. Always work to be done, I guess.

Matt

the media is going to be in my home county a lot because for some reason both parties are still calling it a battleground. it doesn't take a genius to see that that's not true anymore http://rainbowdash.net/url/875931

Matt

...and i think the results are pretty good, it definitely flattens things out a lot, and i manage to get the program to generate new outlines on the fly based on an algorithm and where the camera is looking, just wish i could get it to tile along a random spot so that parallel lines don't look so uniform http://rainbowdash.net/url/875929

Matt

a few months ago i realized that what the toon shader was REALLY missing was a way to accurately imitate a cheaply inked background that's been painted onto a cel by a Korean child, so i drew this 2160 x 2160 texture that i thought would maybe look like a scratchy black ink line, when tiled and repeated over a great distance... http://rainbowdash.net/url/875928

Matt

havent drawn this guy in a while http://rainbowdash.net/url/875926

Matt

really it's just an excuse to make some immature jokes http://rainbowdash.net/url/875916

Matt

...beats working, tbh. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875915

here’s the thing about making a comic about anthros while being completely removed from the furry fandom: you don’t know if something you’re about to upload is gonna awaken something in someone. Like, this? I’m sure somebody’s into this. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875909

My personal website hasn’t been properly updated in forever and that’s because maintaining the comic section was a chore, so I’m in the process of migrating that over to a new WordPress installation where it does mostly everything for me automatically. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875878
