idk why but feels like a forgotten gem.
I love this show quite dearly. The show feels like it ended somewhat abruptly but at least we got quite a few of half eps to watch.
But yea, I drew this. :blobcatmorningcoffee:

Ireland's subsidies for have worked very well but such a helping hand can all too easily become a desperate crutch.

The whole point of them is to incentivise the development of domestic industry to a point where it doesn't need them.

With media production though, companies merely chase the best subsidy around the world. The notion that one location can cement its position is a fallacy. The infrastructure and talent are too mobile for that nowadays.

I follow the /Film RSS feed and I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that SEO is what's ruined their overall output.

'Homer Simpson's Famous D'oh Catchphrase Has A Surprising Unscripted Origin' is the kind of trivia you can easily find on IMDB or Wikipedia. Filtering through dozens of these to find an actual news or feature story is getting burdensome.

Here's a screenshot from the second scene of my NieR:Automata animation.

It feels good to do gfx work again after real life left me no spare time for nearly three months. ^^

Idk if its canon but apparently the whole 12 seasons took place in 1 year. :ablobcatbongo:

Don Bluth on 'NIMH,' 'Anastasia,' Disney feud and best films

It is amusing to consider whether the Disney renaissance would have happened if it weren't for Don Bluth leaving Disney and showing them up at their own game.

So aka / just did a very unfortunate choice of switching from the One Time Purchase to the Subscription Model. I had a feeling since they kinda tested the waters on their iOS App version.

I think it's a good time to highlight @Krita as a alternative for artists. Also @inkscape for those who depend heavily on Vector art. :blob_blowing_kiss:
