Sooo, I watched Red One with my family and...
(spoilers in the article below)


It was alright. I thought that it'd be terrible from what I've heard, but it's pretty tolerable, even though I couldn't really invest in it all that much.

My main issue with the movie is that it has some pretty interesting concepts, but it doesn't really use them to the fullest extent, such as the turning-toys-into-the-things-they-represent bit, the North Pole being a mix of the old-timey depictions of it and this really high-tech stuff, the backstory surrounding Santa, Krampus, and Grylda, all the people working with Santa, the Wolf's (I forgot his real name) family troubles, the list goes on, really.

Some more minor criticisms, but human-Grylda's acting is kinda off; it feels like her actor was trying to give off a calm and creepy vibe, but her performance sometimes felt aimless in a way. I'm not sure if that's an actor issue or a voice director issue. The CGI is also kinda immersion-breaking in some areas; I can kinda just tell that it was a chroma-key thing.

It honestly feels like it spreads itself too thin when it comes to its ideas and plot points, which keeps it from deeply exploring any of them. This, combined with a plotline that doesn't have that many twists or trajectory changes, makes it a very "eh" movie for me. (also whyyyy is J. K. Santa basically nonexistent in his own movie)

Oh yeah, and here's a Bugbo "PSA" I doodled; I thought about it in the car yesterday The picture is really blurry though, so that's why I edited it and added in OpenDyslexic text.

I did that "draw me 'poorly' mutuals" art meme that's been circling around, featuring @R1C4NPUNK 's sona, Mocha!! I did two versions, one with and one without a little film grain effect on him.

I did the funny succubus meme with Blyat- I mean, Blit; sorry for my language. The version with the original text is on the second slide. I just wanted to make a version with OpenDyslexic text.

Happy (two days after) #SkunkDay, everybody! I decided to draw an old design of my skunk OC Dintun to celebrate! His arms are centered kinda weirdly, and his ears are too high for the way his head's tilted, but I'm still happy I made this :>

First art fight ref !! #artfight #oc #melon

Also, I made something for Make a Terrible Comic Day, finishing just before midnight :3 I really should make more crappy stuff like this. It's fun and relaxing, in a weird way #MakeATerribleComicDay

#PrideArt Made these little icons for my OCs and decided to do a thing about how they're woke before Pride Month ends lul

We fishes, bishes (coney island mermaid parade)

Made some goofy artwork of my OC Dintun, since he has really bright-blue eyes. I tried doing the cone snout method that a lotta furry artists do, but it turned out pretty weird. Though, I guess since this is a shitpost artwork, that makes it better, lol.
