RNOTTÉ Animation - Music videos and more!
i hate LLMs, you hate LLMs, they don't do good work, the techbro CEOs shoving this tech down our throats without our consent are all idiots, and its proponents are unappreciative of the blood, sweat, tears, and effort that goes into an honest day's work, or a work of art. we get it already! i'm tired of this stupid technology being the only thing anyone wants to talk about anymore. AI this, AI…
alright, guys, gals, and non-binary pals, it's time for a makeover! the RNOTTÉ Animation website has been renovated a little, with new visual assets! what changed? well, i recently drew some new art of my mascot character (i'll talk about her in a new blog post later), and you can see it up there in the navigation toolbar. her new design is also on the mouse cursor (if you're viewing this on a…
i love animated films, graphic novels, video games, and sometimes live-action films, too. but i've come to a conclusion that not every story works in every medium. for instance, some comics are drawn in such a way that makes the story work in a comic format, but would be really hard to translate into animation. you can certainly try, but when a comic's art is intricate and detailed, or the…
original post by ava i enjoy reading ava's blog; she gives a great perspective on living under the... stupid logic of tech developers and modern internet culture. she's pretty well-known on bear, so if you haven't read her blog yet, now's the time. now, i know it sounds ironic to make a reply to an entry about social media's repost culture, but bare with me. what ava says here is that we don't see…
so, last week i posted for the first time in a while. it was just a collection of cool cloud photos. i kinda-sorta made it on a whim. why? because i felt like i had to post something. as an artist, it can feel like you're obligated to put out something, anything, in order to stay relevant. that there's no such thing as taking a break to not create things. of course, if you're making art for…
i love taking photos of clouds. not only to use as backgrounds for my animations, but just to admire mother nature’s beauty. there’s something about their shapes and colors that inspire me. and if you like them too… have some! i hope you enjoy them. :)
you know, i feel like every complaint people have about modern society has already been said, hasn't it? every problem we have with big tech corporations, LLMs, the work environment, politics, lack of care or passion in our stuff, wealth disparity, social media, enshittification, and how hard it is to have your voice heard in an endless sea of noise... has already been talked about to death. it…
there's an incentive on the internet to put yourself in a box. when you're on a big social media platform, the accounts you follow, the posts you like, and the stuff you yourself post, put you inside a box of "this is who you are and this is what you're into". that's where you get stuff like "aesthetics" and "sub-genres of aesthetics" in all their super restrictive glory. unfortunately, this…
it takes a lot of perseverance to be a terrible artist. you would have to have the mindset of Ed Wood, Yoshiteru Sato , or Seltzer and Friedberg: consistently never make a good piece of art, not even by accident. but they're not trying to make bad art on purpose. they're just bad artists. what if, however, you DID make bad art on purpose? a scribbly MS paint doodle, a blurry photo taken on a…
i will never like netflix and spotify; i believe both companies have ruined the perception of visual and audio entertainment. rather than seeing them as art , they see them as content: a product to consume and then forget about when the shiny new thing comes out. something to kill time with or put in the background while you do laundry... or fall asleep on the couch. one major recent criticism of…
