My TCAF harvest! I got tons of small books because of 1) convenience carrying them 2) making me feel like I had a way bigger budget than I did. Johnny Wander made me laugh out loud in the bus on the way back, Demeter is as haunting as it is beautifully drawn and narrated, Shrub Monkeys made me walk down nostalgia lane, Molly and the Monster is just adorable and Outfoxed is a wonder of layout and good pacing. All the minis and self-published zines are a show of skills and good taste, given the limited budget and technical contraints of this type of support. I will read Jabberwocky this afternoon, as I rest my poor aching body and update my tumblr feed with all the great artists I discovered this year!

Rescue mission! Running away from the bad guys on a twisted ankle ain’t so easy.

I haven’t worked on something solely for fun in… forever. This feels incredibly good :D I still don’t feel like the brush pen is something that really works for me but I can’t shake how fun it is to use. I just find that it imposes a kind of line that doesn’t feel “mine”.

Marco totally had a Morissey phase, 20 years too late. Jenny had a phase when she wasn’t a total bitch. Obviously, it also has been a while.

anime-backgrounds:

I’ve gotten a few requests for Akira, but I’m like “Guy’s do you really think I’d leave out Akira? C’maaaaan.” :) Anyway the first round from the movie that probably got you into anime in the first place.

Akira. Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo. Created by Tatsunoko Production, TMS Entertainment.

Of course I want to reblog everything from this amazing Tumblr blog but I had to choose a favorite!

welcome to character design 101, where six instances where it hasn’t happened don’t change the fact that disparate stylization does happen and it doesn’t matter because here we (in spite of the rather broad url) largely talk about video…

Character designers are culpable.

To act as if character designers and concept artists are all innocent bystanders is extremely naive- that’s where your argument falls apart.

I know hundreds of character designers out there who’re considered the cream of the crop in both the industry and the community as a whole, but they’re shit at designing women. That means they’re shit at designing roughly 50% of characters. Inexcusable, but they get a free pass, and so the cycle is perpetuated at every stage in the pipeline- concept artists, modelers, ADs, producers and execs should all be held accountable for contributing to the problem.

Not every designer is out there fighting against rampant sexism and racism in game design. Granted, some of us pick our battles so we can like to fight another day, but a lot of designers out there either 1) do not care, or 2) are completely unaware of the problems they’re further prolifierating.

Nitpicking women vs. nitpicking men

And again, you completely missing what I’m saying- I don’t get my male characters picked apart. They’re tweaked, sure, but they’re passed up the chain without nary a word, especially in regards to their sex appeal and fat distribution. Female characters, on the other hand, experience far more deliberation. I am talking months of e-mails sent back and forth, after an equivalent male character was designed in a matter of weeks- even when these characters are based on real people, real human beings who exist and have been 3D scanned, they still end up molding the woman towards some perfect, unattainable ideal.

Sexism isn’t just perpetuated by rapists, racism isn’t just perpetuated by the KKK, and homophobia isn’t just perpetuated by the Westboro baptist church. This shit runs deep, and saying “it’s out of our hands, it’s just marketing so it isn’t a problem we need to address” is a damaging oversimplification.

My wife used to speak a lot of French, but it's kinda rusty now. Every week though she reads your comic and translates for me before we look at it in English to see how well she did; I think she's getting better. Anyway, awesome comic!

I’m happy my comic has an educational purpose! :D

thefenixfamily:

The male bunny emerges from the den to find his mate waiting for him outside. The male bunny flees the scene before the female bunny realizes that there are 2 Taiwanese hooker bunnies inside the den as well.

The female bunny is distraught.

The female bunny now writes down her plot (with her nose) of how she will murder her EX-mate.

KKKKKKKKKKKK
