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

short little toon https://youtu.be/bQM75phCV_M

Matt

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

Matt

based (unfortunately) on a true story http://rainbowdash.net/url/875873

unrelated but pretty much all of the recurring CGI setpieces for Swole Foods are done now except the store's interior, which is unfinished purely because I'm bad at interior design and I'm planning to pay somebody to help me with that. The town itself also hasn't been laid out yet but it doesn't need to be for right now. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875863

Starting my novel http://rainbowdash.net/url/875861

Matt

rational http://rainbowdash.net/url/875859

Matt

NOT based on a true story, but honestly, with the price of rent these days, would you be surprised? http://rainbowdash.net/url/875858

Matt

finally retiring the "South Park blink" where a character's eyes just close for two frames before suddenly opening again on the third frame. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875857

Matt

Kat standing up from her chair, animated from start to finish on an iPad. I dig this. I can work with it. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875854

Matt

first full piece on the new iPad was, of course, a comic. pretty rough but I'm just trying to break the thing in - and hey, I drew this *at work*! Technology is incredible. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875853

Matt

Bud’s face when he’s not displaying any particular emotion is usually just a wiener and balls and that never fails to amuse me. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875852

Matt

definitely one of my better purchases http://rainbowdash.net/url/875851

Matt

my new iPad arrived today and the first thing i drew to test out the pencil was a real blasty from the pasty http://rainbowdash.net/url/875850

Matt

cartoon crossovers before animation went fully digital were wild because, as the host show (in this case Lilo & Stitch), the burden was often on your animators to draw all these characters that you're not used to working with, and you couldn't (easily) reuse assets from the visiting show, so you get shots like this where everyone is terribly off-model http://rainbowdash.net/url/875846

Sometimes I wonder if these mainstream journalists are self-aware of how out of touch they are. This article reads like a parody of itself. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875798
