I’m running an Introductory Animation Workshop with creative arts students this Saturday (August 20, 2016) for The School of Creative Arts Open Day at Melbourne Polytechnic’s Prahran Campus. I’ve rotoscoped and broken down some of the greatest dance gifs to their basic poses and we’re going to collaboratively design characters then MAKE THEM DANCE!!

Come down, check out the campus and say HI!

I can’t wait to see the weird animated goofs that result from this workshop, I’ll post them in a couple of days so we can all be in awe of their hilarious spontaneity! 

I heard you like bad girls. Well I’m bad

At everything

“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.

Acabo de notar que el distraído de la estación de guardias donde trabajará Zuko es el No. 41, y adoro absolutamente este detalle.

Idea: Zuko investiga y absolutamente destroza una mafia de tráfico de animales y círculos de pelea de animales ilegal

I did the thing where I read a thing and got randomly inspired to do a completely different thing.

*long-suffering author sigh*

*slots "Li Does Community Service" into the list of fic-ideas-that-need-more-thinking*

Premise: a Ba Sing Se detective noir comedy where, instead of totally ignoring that Zuko stole a guard's swords to fight Jet, the guards lovingly gangpress this crazy-good-swordfighter who is the nephew of this crazy-good-teamaker into helping out around the station.

They very quickly learn that the tea skills are not hereditary.

And trouble follows this kid.

(And you just know he's going to be dodging the Avatar's little Gaang all throughout the streets in the middle of some life-or-death investigation.) (Also taking down those damn bison posters whenever the guards have nothing worse for him to do. "Not even you can get into trouble taking down posters, Li. ...Why did I just say that, shit.")

AKA: this would be an episodic story, so now accepting ideas on what cases the guards and Zuko would get involved in. All due credit if they get used, of course. <3

(Please do replies or reblogs with ideas, not asks, so I stand a small chance of keeping these ideas organized. I love you all in advance. <3<3<3)

Hi I'm new here, and some people recommend me your feralnette au, but when it start? And what the au is about?

the feralnette au starts just after the season 3 finale, somewhat after miracle queen. Reaching a mental breaking point, Marinette can't handle her social life, her grades, being ladybug and being the guardian without giving up one of them. in an act of incredible sacrifice and self sabotage, she cuts herself off from the class to focus more on investigating hawkmoth, and to distance herself from her friends, believing some part of herself is the problem with akumatizations.

After such a change, the Marinette we have is much more jaded and much more tired, and in order to change her reputation of "everyday ladybug," to further distance her civilian persona and her ladybug persona, she begins changing her interactions with people in her daily lives - resorting to violence or sarcasm when in the past she would've been the first to talk things out. (thus, the "feral" part of feralnette)

shit happens. stuff gets wildin. we get a little blasphemous, a little heretical, and a little eldritched. talk about edgy. keep in mind I started this a few years ago (oh god) so some stuff isn't going to align with the new seasons of mlb.

Chapter One

Chapter Two

Chapter Three (ongoing.)

the pacing in the first chapter is a bit funky, as I actually wasn't planning on making it a full fledged comic, but something-something i have no self control lmao.
