Every single incident I think "is this the one that will make people move away from PHP?" and it's never it, this one won't be it either.

Rest assured I was paid appropriately by Xe for the Anubis mascot, but genuinely the biggest reward is seeing so many people enjoy my work. I put a lot of thought into how people might respond emotionally to the Anubis challenge page image, and I'm happy it's had such a positive impact.

Any kind of interruption from your browsing experience is a high-stress situation. Modal popups on modern websites are bad enough, but Anubis is a full-screen interruption. The mascot is, in fact, load-bearing to defuse this tension. I personally recommend people don't replace it because of this.

For example, the 'error' variant of the mascot. By definition, you're only going to see this by mistake. Bots don't care. So the expression I went for was more surprise than anything else, rather than, like, exaggerated crying or anger. Also fun fact this was based on a bocchi expression.

If there's one single thing I see beginner artists do wrong all the time, it's not drawing what you're actually interested in. Like, why are you even doing this if you're not going to be drawing the things you're actually interested in!?

It seems like beginners get all kinds of things in their minds about what you're supposed to be drawing as an artist. And I don't necessarily mean fundamentals practice with this, I just mean subject matter. And then they avoid drawing anything that really matches their passion like the plague.

If you're starting with art, the number 1 thing you should be drawing is your passion, everything else can come later. Cultivate your passion and drive first.

I post a lot in a more western cartoon-y style here, but I actually most of the time draw in more of a manga style. Here's Anubis in that style!

As a little bonus behind-the-scenes, this animation was made using a very simple ad-hoc Spine2D rig. The character parts were drawn in Krita.

never put more than 75% effort into a single page. Save the major background for the establishing shot and imply the rest through gradients, color blurs if you have to. If a background doesn't add anything you couldn't tell the story without, you might not need one. several jobs for one person!

I think people are kinda glossing over just how groundbreaking it is that the Steam Frame is going to be Linux based. Not android based, but plain Linux based. According to the specs page it runs KDE Plasma. Absolutely insane choice if you wanted be cheap on R&D. Looking forward to it so much.

“The key to making good manga? Story, art, characters - these things help of course. But the real essence of a great work is having absurdly cute side characters that come out of nowhere to gobsmack the reader. The manga world turns on ringside announcers and bus tour guides.” -Yoshihiro Togashi
