One time my mom *strongly* urged me to send an e-mail asking for a mentorship from a specific director, saying I should be more confident in my work and getting myself out there.
The director she was talking about was Hayao Miyazaki
Because of all new "affordable" Wacom products, here's a thread on free/genuinely affordable software and hardware for digital artists.
Please, please retweet this so at least one aspiring independent creator can know that there is no paywall between themselves and their art.
Not enough people talk about Emara!! It’s 5 episodes, full of action packed trigger-like animation, and is uniquely Emirati/Middle Eastern! The studio that made it has been radio silent since 2019, I hope they’re still making cool stuff out there…
I cannot stress enough how Hayao Miyazaki does not speak english, does not have an email or any way to contact him publicly available, and has hardly let his own son work under him
dear LORD this got more attention than I expected!! It’s been one weekend and we’re already at 100K+ on tiktok, 20K+ on ig, and 350+ patrons. thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, the best is yet to come!! 💛💛 #supportindieanimation
