I have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words.
My intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech.
My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me. I will try harder.
@mexopolis I think its clear that these Ai companies need people with a name and reputation in the industry to fake endorsement. They need you more than you need them. Glad you are taking the feedback from the community, hopeful there is a stepback in the project.
As an indie creator, client work comes first, and most spare time goes into @TTJumbie . But I needed a break from frame-by-frame animation, so I finally jumped into @clipstudiopaint . Really enjoying it so far. Illustration of Insinu from @GodWilderness@GemGfx#illustration
@melissamedinavo This also just enables capitulation under industrial pressure. Giving actors a "way" to surrender their souls "if they wana" while corporate structures bear down on them, knowing many artists are just trying to survive.
Been a minute since I've exercised fundamentals, but I recently joined a group of artists that meet monthly to practice figure drawing. Always trying to build community solidarity with artists, so DM me if you're interested in some practice and good vibes! #hands#drawingsใ คใ ค
In 2016, 5,712 Native women and girls were reported missing in a single year. Only 116 of those cases were entered into federal databases. Behind every number that was never counted is a name that deserves to be spoken.
@melissamedinavo Get well soon!! Cool news: Recently started working with an incredible voice actor on a script our writing team worked on for months, and the actor absolutely crushed it! 5 min scene with a deeply layered/complex character. Couldn't ask for a better fit for the role ๐๐
