Power Girl redo from a drawing I did back in 2012

All right folks, thank you for being here and lots to talk about let's get to it.

NEXT MOVIE!

First up, let's talk about our next movie. It is in production right now I will also be having a poll later this week for the Animation tiers. The point of the poll will be to ask what you would like to see more of or a focus on in the next animation. I will be using that to help guide what I will be animating and what I will focus on.

I also want to add we are starting up the movie previews for the next movie. I expect to have one in your hands by this weekend or early next week. Previews will continue at roughly one or two a week until we ship the movie. More if I can manage it!

On the subject of the next movie I want to add it will be a continuation of the current movie, the Formal. You will not have to have seen the Formal to enjoy this nor will you be missing out on anything if you only saw the Formal. I will be designing them to work together but I don't make them intrinsically linked to each other. This is not Infinity War followed by Endgame. Haha

NEW COMIC!

The new comic is starting up. It will be continuation of issue 76. Much like the movie mentioned above you will not have to have read 76 but it will serve as a nice intro. No more details than that at the moment but I am looking forward to it. I have a wacky idea and we'll have to see how it goes. Then again, almost all my ideas about the comics are wacky!

GENERATIVE ART RELATED STUFF

Right off the bat I want to be clear my 2D hand drawn art, animation and the comics are not going anywhere - if anything they will probably INCREASE!

I wanted to broach a subject with you guys because I like sharing my process with you. This does deal with with generative art and animation. I am mostly talking about theoreticals and possibilities at this point. I also have no current plans to switch over to a generative art pipeline. THAT SAID, I have been experimenting with creating animations and stills. Doing something in my art style based off my art style is interesting to me. At this stage I look at it as a tool and it's worth an exploration as far as I'm concerned. A few of you long time members may recall I was experimenting with 3D animation and Blender many years back. It was a lot of fun and it didn't go anywhere. This is something similar for me, I enjoy checking out possible avenues and if they would fit into any sort of pipeline I'm using.

I'll keep you posted about any developments and I'm also curious if any of you would be interested in seeing some of the experiments. Again, there is a massive caveat these are just experiments. They are not some grim foreshadowing of anything.

Comment or questions welcome about any of the above!

OK - back to work for me, love you all and STAY AWESOME!

Thank you for sharing your art with us! I would say in regards to the generative art concept, I feel that the work would lose the unique features that your hands bring every animation, comic and pinup, at least on a personal level because I would know it was generated by a computer. I love your work and want to see more of what your mind can produce.

I appreciate you being open about it. Truly, I feel that for the art an animation, generative AI shouldn't touch it. I've seen what it looks like with one of Leviathan's latest animations. It's jarringly different, doesnt understand the "kink context" that needs to happen, and sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd rather it be something you worked on, be it rushed or scaled down in quality, than have AI touch it. Despite the proclaimed advances, it's just not better for creatives than doing it ourselves. Now, if you get a procedural kinda deal like what The Spiderverse movies have, where it kinda uses code to determine things like outlines and such, that's a tool that is fine. But leave the work to your hands.

Yeah I don't think it would be very easy or even possible at this point to really capture what I'm doing with the current state of the art stuff. For me, it's just keeping an eye on the technology as it moves forward. I remember feeling similarly about digital art in general. The tools really weren't there at first and I felt you couldn't really capture the feeling of pencil and paper. Clearly, that has happened at this point. That is to say, the digital drawing technology, at least in my mind, Is equal to in its own way, that of pen and paper in terms of the lines and the draftsmanship that you can get with it. That may not be for everybody, I get it but I always feel it's helpful to know what's out there. Appreciate the response!

Thanks for the reply, I know what you mean. I mentioned above in a reply that for me it's mostly about keeping my eye on the technology in general. I mentioned above I felt the same way when digital art and drawing first came out. I really didn't think that it was possible that digital art would ever really be able to equal in any way pen and paper. Over time I went completely digital because the tools improved so much and even though digital art never will be exactly pen and paper, there are a lot of amazing things you can do with digital art that are just not possible with pen and paper. But that right there was a good case of me just watching the technology, trying it out constantly and just seeing when was a good time to jump in. I can't say this is exactly a one to one comparison But I think you get the idea. Mostly at this stage I'm just looking at what you can do. I think there are some really neat things and the possibilities are great. I just don't think the technology is caught up yet. For me I'm just watching and seeing where things go. My ultimate goal is to get you and all my friends and fans the very best art and animation that I can make, of course in my style and with my flair. Thank you again! appreciate it!

For sure. If everything around the big AI rise wasnt so revolting it wouldnt be such a hot topic I feel, but im glad people are calm enough to voice their feelings politely to their fave creators who are looking at it as a tool.
