Warios-third-dentist - He's Right Above Me Isn't He?

sorry

sick of this anti-aging obsession. let's go in the opposite direction. i want more characters who are hardened & grizzled & have a face lined with the harrowing tribulations of time--and then halfway through the narrative u find out they're 27

fun mole facts to pique your interest

can smell in stereo (nostrils smell separately)

solitary (except for star nosed moles)

male are called boars and females sows (like pigs) but babies are called pups

a group of them is called a labour

have poison in their saliva that can paralyse worms and insects

will store food in 'larders' so they can snack later

more oxygen in their blood (helps breathing underground)

not rodents

are good for soil health (their tunnelling aerates and fertilised soil), don't be mean to them :(

On the one hand, Wario's employees account for something like 85% of the female characters with recurring speaking roles across the entire Super Mario franchise, but on the other hand, he's canonically violating multiple child labour laws and once stuffed a preteen girl into a cannon and shot her into the sea, so it's tough to say how much credit he really deserves for his equal opportunity hiring practices.

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved

these are all creatures to me

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️

Don't know how many hours I spent animating this but it feels like it took years off my life :)✨

I'd also like to share just how rough my boards were for this. I'd done this bit awhile ago so I completely forgot how much I was winging it lol
