Zootopia looks to be a rather funny and charming animation, just as much of a visual delight as all past Disney CG animations…. Yes, including the abominable sh*t-stain that is Frozen.
Something that I think to be rather bizarre, however, is that the very first teaser released for the movie felt the need to explain the concept, as though it were so alien that it would otherwise frighten the kiddies: anthropomorphic animals.

Has it really been that long since such creations were mainstream that the idea of walking, talking cartoon critters would confuse present-day kids?!
I guess so. I can’t really think of any (good) modern-day animated cartoons that feature a fuzzy cast, and the only critter left in the world of video games is Sonic, who hasn’t been entertaining since 1994.
The damn things were everywhere when I was a kid. There was such saturation of the market that Disney had to start making up whole NEW animals in an attempt to stand out:

It’s kind of depressing to think that, up until this point, a generation hasn’t seen a single fluffy tail on their TV screen. Cartoon animals are one of those keys that unlocks the imagination, because if you can accept the fact that a talking bear flies a cargo plane or a Scottish duck owns a mountain-sized vault of money, you’re immediately granted permission to enjoy all manner of whimsy. Your creative mind no longer needs to conform to the bounds of reality. The words “That’s silly” are squashed by the words “That’s fun”.

Thank you, anonymous benefactor.
Some kind (unnamed) soul gave me a month's core membership. Thank you, sir/madam :)
DevArt goes full evil.
I’m not going to rail about how material on the site is being scraped for use in AI Composites, or about how DevArt’s “protection” against it is a new check-box that you will have to manually tick for each and every image you’ve uploaded. No. Misuse of your work and DevArt incompetence are expected at this point. Once something is put online, that’s it; it’s no longer under your control. That’s the nature of the beast. You don’t like it; don’t upload content. What I am furious about is the deluge of AI composites flooding my feed, here. I see more of that crap than genuine new content, now. And to make it worse, DevArt has its own AI tool (https://www.deviantart.com/team/journal/Create-AI-Generated-Art-Fairly-with-DreamUp-933537821) which, while they absolutely-pinky-promise it will not cannibalise user content, is only going to exacerbate the problem. I’m now completely convinced that DevArt is no longer a site that serves artists in any capacity. Not only that; it no longer has any
Werewolf Wednesday Artbook
I've returned to Lulu as their print quality has dramatically improved. The first thing I'm peddling through their service is a collection of my Werewolf Wednesday pinups. (I was legitimately blown away by the quality of the proof copy I ordered!) It's now available here.
Password Retrieval emails.
Is anyone else getting a "Password Retrieval" email from DeviantArt over and over again? I was concerned that there was a security issue at play but I see that there's an option in settings to STOP such emails for 60 days, which itself is weird. Why would THAT be needed? What the hell is going on with the platform NOW?
