Hello my friends I am once again coming out of tumblr hibernation to BEG YOU ALL to watch Super Giant Robot Brothers on Netflix.

It’s a show that I had the absolute privilege of working on, and it has been an agonizing few months waiting until I was able to share it with all the people I know. It’s well written, exceptionally well directed, and absolutely crammed full of real, grounded sibling banter. We as animators had an incredible time working on it - we were given room to play, and it paid off. It’s a labor of love from every set of hands that touched it.

I don’t think I have ever worked on a show that has been this GOOD. This production single-handedly restored my will to stay in the animation industry, and it has taken a permanent place in my heart. Please watch it.

I love nothing more than animation insiders like this! Man, you don’t realize how much math and physics go into stuff like this. Way different than traditional animation!

They can render millions of individual particles of snow but still can’t create more than one face for women

I know its fun mocking Disney as a corporation, but the VFX team have nothing to do with character design so dont belittle their hard work cause some big man in a suit decided a certain set of features makes more marketable toys.

i just realized how absolutely earth shatteringly horny the internet at large would be for darth vader if the original trilogy came out right now

my god, every facet of his character, the mask, he’s tall, he chokes people, he’s evil, good god it would be apocalyptic, this website would be fucking unusable

people are horny for kylo ren and he’s just an intentionally infinitely shittier version of darth vader who sucks fucking shit comparatively just imagine

so imagine Star Wars comes out now, everybody’s obviously drawing their fanon interpretation of Vader as hot brooding anime men so they can ship him with whomever of luke/leia/han they find personally most attractive. Empire comes around, darth is luke’s ****** (message me for spoilers!), everyone purges their Luke/Vader art and starts drawing him as a hot dad, slicked back salt-n-pepper hair and a chiseled jaw and shit

then Jedi comes out and

someone just actually messaged me for spoilers

OK but like… first sentences don’t have to be there forever. I cannot begin to count the number of times I’ve started a story like:

And just write the ideas down until the story starts to shape itself. Then when you’re ready, go back and delete everything before the point where the story actually starts. 

Writing yourself into an idea is a time-honoured technique, and it works. 

good advice

A funny thing about introducing a new queen into a hive that has lost its queen (or one that you’ve killed because her brood was too fighty). 

You have to introduce the new queen into the hive with these special queen cages that are stopped up with candy, and are open enough to let the hive smell the new queen, but not open enough that they can get in there and kill her.

Because they will kill her. 

When you first put the new queen in she smells like an intruder, but by the time it takes the bees to eat through the candy and free the queen, the queen’s pheromones will have had time to work and the hive will have gotten used to her.

From the outside this kinda seems like: 

“Yeh, we were all going to murder you to death before, but we’re full of candy now, so we’re cool. Oh yeh, and how about you be the new queen and stuff. Yeh, that’s cool too.” 

beekeeping is really weird

Listen, strange bee queens lyin’ in cages distributin’ candy is no basis for a system of government.

Supreme executive power has to derive from a mandate from the masses, not some farcical sucratic ceremony.

Oh but if I went ‘round sayin’ “We have a new Queen!” just because some honeyed bint lobbed a Jolly Rancher at me, they’d put me away!
