wow for reals if you don’t like a thing
just don’t look at it
don’t partake in it
it’s THAT EASY!!! nobody is forcing you to partake in a thing that you don’t like! tumblr savior exists! so do things outside of tumblr! just because you see it a lot doesn’t mean you should insult it!
don’t insult the taste level and/or intellect of people who do like it, because I promise they have...

Since my personal site went tits-up the other night and has to pretty much be rebuilt, I figured I might as well take that opportunity to make one of these.
Will continue to add stuff to it until… well, until I stop.

Bobby Chiu's Tip of the Day: Is It Memorable?
wannabeanimator:
“In this ever growing art community (especially online) it gets harder and harder to be noticed. You will be noticed when your art and/or the idea behind your art is unique.
Think about how memorable your art is. If it looks like a million other things, no one is going to remember it. Sending positive vibes to you all! Bobby”

andante-ace replied to your post: What advice can you give in making good female character designs?
In which Slim gives a nice reminder that character design should not (or at least not incredibly) be based on gender.
YEAH it’s always hard for me to talk about this because I mean
I don’t want to say ~gender doesn’t matter~, because it does, if only because stories do...
slimmeroo:
the gist of my attitude about GOOD character design is that there’s nothing you can’t do as long as you have a genuinely good reason for doing it & understand why you’re doing it. just because you can do something doesn’t necessarily mean you should, but nothing is ever entirely off-limits as long as you handle sticky subjects with sensitivity.

music autoplaying on your blog: WHY.
i mean, am i the only one who hears something start playing and immediately hits the back button? does everyone else just meekly mute what they were already listening to so they can bask in your musical choices for twelve seconds?
because no one spends enough time on someone else’s blog to hear an entire song. not...

Don't be a jerk

bobbypodesta:
During my first year at CalArts (way back in the 20th century), my animation teacher, Kevin Johnson, sat our class down and proceeded to give us what would become my first bit of professional advice. He had us look around the room at each other. Don’t be a jerk, he told us. The people in that room, he assured us, would be people we would know in some capacity for...

Nonsexual Intimacy
greenchestnuts:
For Asexual Awareness Week, Elizabeth Barrette, aka ysabetwordsmith, posted a list of types of nonsexual intimacy that I found really interesting both as an asexual and as a writer:
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four
Part Five
brodinsons:
No one has the ability to make you feel inferior. They cannot demean you or mock you unless you acknowledge them and grant them permission to do so.
It can feel impossible sometimes, standing up to people who want to do nothing but drag you through the muck and grime of humiliation. But you can do it. You can do it because only you have the power to allow them to get to you.

Intellectual Property, Copyright Law, and Fan Art
lexxercise:
Preface
Between the girl whose necklace concept was stolen by Urban Outfitters recently, and Andrew’s announcement regarding his official stance on fan-created merchandise, I’ve noticed a lot of people are completely unaware of copyright law and what it does and does not dictate. Since I’ve never fully educated myself on that either, I took some time to actually read through...

“Been reading a lot of DA drama recently. Whereby “Respect the Artist!” Is being flung about in defense those who do not want criticism. Fact - Critique is commonly understood as fault finding and negative judgement but can also merit recognition and praise. It’s a process of evaluation where it can be either positive, negative or both. “A Criticism is a Critique...
A PSA About Asexuality and Aromanticism
outlawroad:
Dear World,
Please take note of the following facts about asexual and aromantic people.
——
Asexuality is an orientation based on the lack of sexual attraction to other humans beings.
This means asexual people never look at other human beings and experience an arousal response or a desire to have sex with them.
That is all it means.
Some asexual people still have a sex drive and...
Watchpenciltests:
And here’s a fun clip about Glen Keane’s process for improving the animation on Tangled. He would draw over the shot as a reference for the animators so they could push the animation to be as good as it can be.
