Bixels 🍉

@Radrappy Congratulations, Matt! We're all so excited for you and your team.

I am nervous as hell for this and am really putting myself out there. Feel free to call this "Braly's Folly" if it's a flop haha That said I can't wait to show you more of this special project as we make our way to launching on MARCH 13. Thank you so much.

I was so touched by all the kind messages I received yesterday. It has given me a lot of encouragement for what will now be a big swing: My next animated project will be the first episode of a gothic horror interpretation of the Nutcracker called "Clara and the Below."

@OrangeAndInsane Thank you!

@BixelsWixels It's GORGEOUS, amazing work!! Just backed it, can't wait to see the finished film!

Thanks for the shout out, ToonHive! I'm the board artist for Grattachecca. Popping back on Twitter real quick to post the storyboard animatic I made for this teaser, edited by the film's director Giulio Martella. Final trailer's on the Kickstarter page.

@KyleTsetso I boarded this trailer! Thanks for the thoughtful analysis, Kyle. <3

because animation gets nothing for free every single tiny thing you see was obsessed over by someone, was brought to life for a specific purpose. and because animation is the study of motion it really makes any *lack* of motion stand out. what *isnt* moving in a shot and why?

there's the easily understood appreciation of big bombastic movement and camera work and then there's the more subtle lizard brain appreciation of an ostensibly banal scene that is in fact so well-observed and carefully rendered that you cant help but mentally inhabit that space

@svnnyrises Love this.

DON'T make a deal with the wild vampire you found in your barn #rarijack #mlp

@Snoozincopter @chanadraws I’ll never forgive the devs for making NH’s story about buying a vacation package and then becoming Nook’s little minion running around doing manual labor and finding tenants to build his little company island.

@chanadraws Animal Crossing: ...Gentrified Horizons *starts ugly crying*

animal crossing used to be a weird game about living in a weird village. there were a ton of needless details that made things feel alive. i miss that

@bunplumz Doesn’t work, I’ve had it blocked for days.

@BixelsWixels if you block grok it wont be able to access your images to do this, ik that doesnt do much about the hateful userbase but at least your art wouldnt be able to get turned into that shit

I tried to figure this out and make posting art here work again, but it’s actually extremely not worth it. The fact that this site even hides these replies from my notifications so I wouldn’t realize. You all know where to find me.

@KE91177628 No I think I'm good now.

@BixelsWixels Try this

Thanks everyone who left nice replies on the artwork. You can blame me for even attempting to come back here (my fault), I really did miss being in the art/fandom community here, but this is genuinely disheartening. And for what.

@ilasja Yep.

@BixelsWixels Is your un on bsky the same as here?

@Oirecnite Thanks, Sym. Also hi, Sym.

@BixelsWixels The long term issue is the arms race between better glaze models and denoisers. Like are you supposed to update your old images to be AI-proof? The future sucks, man.

How effective is nightshade + glaze.

@mufeet Here's hoping.

@BixelsWixels Does making it a gif stop it from being able to be edited ?

Trying out some methods to avoid gr*k + reposting old art people probably missed. The CMC girls and their sisters.

@banquetbeggar Lakota. Another MLP artist who's Arikara/Lakota has been helping design/write RD as well.

@BixelsWixels As someone who loves extrapolating little details like that, I'm 1000% down! What nation is she from in your interpretation?

@banquetbeggar I don't really remember, I think it's cuz of the colonizer episode where RD joins the Buffalos' side.

@BixelsWixels I love them all!!! The decision to make RD indigenous is so fucking cool to me. What inspired it?

@Fishyfishdish_ The other options are locking replies or my account, which I might end up doing.

@BixelsWixels This is probably a good method but sadly I cannot click on the image to zoom in on the detail anymore

Unfortunately the colors got washed, but I trust y'all can find the original version.

@ScratchyDerose Unfortunately no, an art mutual showed me that they got hit even after blocking.
