My drawing prompt app is now live! Draw That! is a free prompt machine for people who would rather draw than stare at a blank page. Pin the bits you like — a genre, a creature, a prop, a mood — and leave the rest wild. Hit Draw that! and it hands you a tiny scene about who is there and what they are up to. It will not tell you the medium, the style, or how to compose it. That part is yours, and so is the prompt, and so is every drawing you make from it. Then go draw that! Link in the next post ⬇️

Any compositor who looks at this and says I won't use a tool like this because it's AI is just stupid and self-sabatoging. There is nothing precious about green screen removal. There is nothing artistic about rotoscoping. It's painful, costly, time consuming grunt work that almost nobody enjoys. And if you happen to be someone that does, do it in your own free time. No employer wants to pay for your me roto time. Speaking as someone who has done literally hundreds of hours of roto, its about freaken time. xitter.cf/ltx_io/status/21060152…
The last drop of VFX Week: Alpha Gen (Beta). Give it an ordinary RGB clip and get back an alpha matte that matches your plate frame for frame. No green screen, no masks, no prompt. Built for the edges that are hard to key or roto: hair, fur, smoke, fire, glass, water. 🧵

Souless. Its not animation unless it looks exactly like the latest trends and made by dozens of Asians on a computers in a sweatshop. The exploitation and suffering really comes through and is something AI can never replicate.

FINALLY
Kristina Sexton will serve as the intimacy coordinator for 'Godzilla x Kong: Supernova'. The previous Monsterverse films did not utilize an intimacy coordinator. (via: imdb.com/title/tt32561550/fu…)

I had to buy a printer so my kids could do the activity pages from @explodeybook. I only had a 3D printer before and it did NOT work.

I’m proud to be part of this project. A bunch of talented pros have been working hard to make something really fun.
I’m just putting the finishing touches on volume 6 of @explodeybook The plan was to make a black and white book of stories and activities every other month. It turned in a massive 200ish-paged, full color beast and i have now made 6 of them in 12 months. I’m proud of every volume and the friends I’ve worked with to make this happen. All the people helping with everything from packing to proofing. The indie artists who have all contributed without pay because they believe in the project. The subscribers who took a chance on something new and a bit crazy. And I’m thrilled by the many kids who have written to us and sent in their art and stories they created out of inspiration from these pages. If you have kids in your life, please get one of these into your kids hands. No ham-fisted message, no talking down, just creativity, imagination, creative activities, a lot of laughs, and good stories. I pray in year two we can push our subs to the next level. If you’ve gotten the books and love them, please share and tag some parents. Prayers are also welcome. (There are four in the video. Five just arrived and six is about to go to the printers.)

If Better Call Saul is really set in 2004, how come no one is ever talking about Homestar Runner?
