Dear EA,

You suck for cancelling Alice: Asylum. Give American McGee the rights back, you boring corporate assholes.

Sincerely,

Everyone who wanted to play a unique and heartfelt, visually stunning video game that treats mental illness with empathy and couldn’t care less about EA Sports.

Go visit American McGee’s Patreon and read the Alice Design Bible. The art is stunning as always and it’s a shame we won’t be getting the final installment of this wonderful series. Not anytime soon at least.

As an artist, I am really sick of the recent and increasingly agreed upon rhetoric that live action just “hits harder” than animation. I have been hearing this a lot from people especially in regards to the live action How to Train Your Dragon and I just???? No it doesn’t???

The thing is, when you make any piece of art, the media you use is can be integral to how the art is received. For example, I think traditional painting is often received by audiences as more professional than digital. I think the same goes for movies and audiences tend to assume that animated film is for younger audiences and live action is more mature.

Anyone can have any opinion they want about live action or animation but don’t say animation doesn’t hit as hard when hundreds of hours went into designing those characters and manipulating every aspect of the final product until it was exactly what the artists wanted it to be. Drawing and animating is difficult work and everything that is presented is intentional. It took the animators years to study light and color and shape and movement and anatomy to make something as beautiful as HTTYD just for audiences to say it had a greater impact in live action.

The reason this make me so angry is because artists are already having their work stolen by corporations using AI so people without the patience and dedication to study the craft or those who don’t feel like hiring artists can poorly and cheaply imitate in seconds mastery that is earned over years. Corporations are then remaking animated masterpieces as live action. For HTTYD, Lilo and Stitch, and the thankfully shelved live action tangled, it’s especially jarring because I am a relatively young person and still older than two of those movies and they are already being remade. It is not the same as Cinderella, Maleficent, or some of the other live action remakes where the source animation has existed for several generations (and the source material existed for centuries), these animated films were made within one lifetime and are already being remade into live action cash grabs.

The original HTTYD is one of the films that inspired me to become an artist and it’s really disheartening to see it be recreated so soon.

Also, I want to be very clear that my frustration has nothing to do with the casting of the movie, it only has to do with seeing animation and art in general be gutted and devalued more and more often for the sake of profit.

DO NOT go see the live action Lilo and Stitch or Snow White in theaters!!!! Or at all!!! Do not let Disney make more money off of soulless and frankly harmful remakes of beautiful classics. Disney doesn’t care if it’s a hate watch. Money is money.

Go rewatch the originals and show them the love they deserve.

Hey, y'all! Finals are finally over so I'm going to get back into drawing again. I have a lot of different things going on this blog so I have decided to start a side blog just for my art, this includes fanart as well as original pieces. So, for those of you who follow me specifically for my art and are interested in seeing process photos as well as finished pieces or just don't want to scroll through my reblogs, go follow @bored-does-doodles.

I will still post finished pieces here but I want a place dedicated specifically to my art. Thank you guys for your support, I'll see you around!

Still my body, still my choice

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

Is anyone else just... exhausted?

Was rewatching Psycho the best way to cope with Arcane ending? No. Did I use the characters from Psycho to try and learn the Arcane art style? Yes.

God forbid I fixate on one piece of media at a time.

I know this has already been said but PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO BE CRITICAL OF SEASON TWO OF ARCANE.

Listen, I love Arcane. Season 1 was beautifully written. The acting and animation is nothing short of epic across both seasons and the soundtrack is fantastic. But I don’t think Season 2 was as well written as Season 1.

I wasn’t expecting a happy ending and I don’t think anyone was. But I was expecting a more satisfying ending, for all of the characters.

In S1 most of the plot was the direct result of choices the characters made. And we could understand the rationale behind those choices and even minor characters like Marcus felt fleshed out. That complexity was missing from several S2 characters, ESPECIALLY Caitlyn’s task force. Maddie was Just a turncoat when Marcus’ motivation for his betrayal was clear. He wanted to climb the ranks and then he got stuck serving a kingpin to protect his daughter. Maddie is just a bad person.

And before anyone starts shouting about media literacy and analyzing the visuals given to us: I watched the show, I analyzed the visuals and I have been thinking about it for weeks. The thing is, in good writing, a character’s motivation should be clear from the first watch. Marcus’ cowardice wasn’t told to us by some obscure blink and you miss it background detail, it was an integral part of the story.

Loris was another character I wish we had gotten to know better beyond being Vi’s friend who shows up sometimes. His death should have hit so much harder but we knew next to nothing about him.

This season felt like a lot of the characters were being pushed around by the plot instead of actively influencing it. The characters that were supposed to seem powerful, didn’t because they lacked the agency season 1 characters had.

Season 2 wasn’t a bad season but I don’t think it measured up to the bar that season 1 set. Act 1 of season two felt the most like the Arcane I fell in love with.
