Here's some more info or trivia on the writer and director of the animated cult film 9, Shane Acker and thankfully unlike last time, there's only five here which is perfect for me:
• The movie that inspired him to become a filmmaker or even an animator is Jason and the Argonauts which he described as "the film that lit the fire in me and I didn't even know it was there to begin with".
• He's also an avid comic book fan, citing the works of Neil Gaiman and Robert Kirkman as some of his favorites and calling Frank Miller's Ronin as "one of my favorite pieces of literature and it's the ones you'd least expect".
• Has gone back and forth on whether or not he should have a Twitter account: "It could actually be fun and open a lot of new possibilities for a lot of people who are fans of the movie and fans of Crusoe but at the same time even I think there are a lot of dumb motherfuckers online that are easily triggered by anything and aren't remotely worth fucking dealing with".
• On his twisted and darkly comedic short film The Hangnail, here's what he had to say on it: "That just came from me wanting to do something that was insanely dark and comedic. I got tired of doing lighter stuff so I took a crack at this horrifying idea that I made funny in how twisted as hell it was".
• On whether or not his cancelled animated film Deep will ever get resurrected: "I doubt it completely 100%. I gave it the best shot and it fell through, again it happens. Some things just aren't meant to be. But I am also somewhat interested in doing live action which obviously would not at all be a big movie but instead a small-scale and atmospheric movie set underwater. I could take some influence from Deep if I want to with that. The ocean's already a fucking scary as shit place I would never go near so why not?".
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!
You know what? Instead of reanimating pre-existing content like every other person online has done already, it'll be more worthwhile if folks thought about putting that same creative energy towards finishing or developing all those animatics, pitch ideas and pilots instead. Like from the follow links below.
...and I know what you're thinking, but I say:
I don't care.

There are some good ideas that shouldn't have been cancelled at all, whatever the reason. And plenty more that can be revised with a fresh set of eyes and better technology at hand.
The (Hopefully) Comprehensive Guide to Drawing Transformers! [1]
[Chapter 1/5?]
Decided to make a little quick guide to drawing transformers/humanoid mechs because some people asked! (Plus I thought it'd be fun lol) .... Hopefully it makes sense and helps some people out :'D
[Next] -> coming I dunno when, I keep adding to my WIP pile......

i keep seeing posts talking about the recent animeexpo interview, and i think a lot of the dungeon meshi fandom is being massively inappropriate concerning ryoko kui. it's fine to have headcanons, but people are being very disrespectful to her, same as before when people were discussing her sexuality just because she drew a lot of women they thought were attractive. like you guys know this is a real human being, right..?
