I’ve Watched This Like 8 Times In A Row

My first art post! This is a massive dump of my works dating from 2021 to today, 2024. This is for anyone interested in my blog to have a taste of what I usually draw, though I am determined to experiment this year. I have learned a lot but I have so much more to learn.

Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.

Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?

Can you tell now?

Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?

Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?

If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

This is a small art dump of my first ever DND character, Orva the Goliath Monk! I really did not enjoy playing as her, but a part of me will always have a soft spot for her.
