Forgot to announce this here but the first ten chapters for Drawing For Nothing have been released! For those who missed the last post, this is a free, digital art book for animated films that were either canceled or bombed due to complicated issues.

More chapters are to come. A few highlights in the next installation will be My Peoples and Larrikins.
Also, if anyone wants to help research, feel free to send a DM! We're also working on a new cover that will feature custom artwork of various characters from these movies. If you think you got what it takes to draw in the style of another artist, we would appreciate the help!
sorry i know it’s just a movie, i know we all knew that it was only a matter of time till we got the official announcement anyways but it’s still so fucking disappointing that legitimately good, groundbreaking, heartfelt series get shafted while soulless powerfantasy shonens are renewed into the apocalypse
I have no words. Just the empty feeling of desolation and despair.
I think it would've been much easier to accept if they had said it back in 2020 or 2021, but waiting all this time only for it to be canceled, is devastating.
At the very least, I'd like to see what they've already done. I don't care if it's not a full movie. I don't care if the audio's a little funky. Give us something! Anything!
Yuri On Ice was is one of the most beloved anime of all time. They had a fandom that would wait decades, plural. But, now there's nothing.
*Takes a drag from my cigarette* Seven years. Seven long years I’ve been waiting for you, and here you call me and say you won’t be showing? All this time- all this fucking time- *My voice breaks. I pause and take another drag*
I’ve been waiting for you and you abandoned me. You promised me, but here you are, sending me a message saying that we’re over? That your cursed fighting side bitch is more important than me? The one who got you where you are today?
When you remember the nights we shared making AMVs, just know, I won’t even be thinking about you. *It’s a lie, I know it’s a lie, I’ll never forget. I’ll never move on.*
I was bored and wanted editing practice so my brain just said “hey what if you made a fake trailer for that one movie you love that doesn’t actually exist?” And I said “…eh sure why not” and then proceeded to have way more fun than I expected to !!
(Scenes are from the canceled Me and My Shadow by DreamWorks, music is the Diary Of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra, editing, as I said, was by me, lol)
The first update to Drawing For Nothing has been released!
With new branding and a new cover being worked on by our talented artists, the book is also being hosted as a flipbook, which is way prettier and easier.
The highlight however, is our two new chapters! Disney's My Peoples and Dreamworks' Larrikins. Over 150 new pages just from those chapters alone. Along with those two, additions have been made to Me and My Shadow, B.O.O., and Joe Jump. Older chapters have also been revised a little here and there and a few links have been fixed. Larrikins includes storyboards that have never been shared publicly before!
Thanks to everyone for supporting the project so far! It's been a lot of fun. I have no date for when more chapters will come out, it'll just happen when it happens.
