Happy 25 Years TVPaint! May You Continue To Encourage More Animators To Create Hand Drawn/2D Animation

here's another painting I had to do for the exams, for my art university

I decided to reproduce a waterfall

i just wanted to clarify some things

artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited.

saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed this line of reasoning, there would be no art on the internet. 

when an artist posts their work, they are trusting you to enjoy it respectfully. and when you betray that trust either knowingly or unknowingly, it’s like saying the artist’s time, skills and thoughts aren’t worth anything.

you are NOT entitled to an artists work just because they decided to trust you enough to share it with you.

an artist is within their right to feel upset that someone has used their work in a way they never intended it to be used. they are within their right to ask for it to stop and not happen again.

just because it’s “bound to happen” doesn’t mean it’s any less deplorable.

here's a rough animation of Divcey being annoyed by a monologue from someone complaining

should I do merch?

Grumble grumble…

creator of sacred pleasure ............. XD I ‘ll give it that! It has a nice ring to it!

A comic to try and sort through some difficult feelings about being an artist and a reminder to not forget who you are.

I’m not crazy. My reality is just different than yours.
