I do find it odd though that adults who willingly watch endless superhero and Star Wars movies would still look down on animation as 'kid's stuff'.  :lol:

Stuff I liked when I was a kid: high art. Stuff that kids like today: garbage. Pretty simple really.

I dunno, I'm too old for Harry Potter, but it's still clearly superior to most contemporary kid's fare.

Thanks! It is indeed very relaxing, in an odd sort of way - drawing always takes me out of myself. I get so totally absorbed in it that hours can fly by and I hardly notice - it's really addictive.

I drew the last picture posted above in one session on Sunday. I had that rarity - a whole day off, and alone - and I spent basically all day on it; I emerged from the 'zone' and it was fairly late at night, my hand was cramped, and I was starving - I was at it all day without a break.

I think there is more to it than that - the lingering notion (much weaker now than before, but still existing) that animation is inherently a childish medium.

In the specific case of Star vs. the Forces of Evil, I can't fault people for seeing it as childish - it very deliberately employs the tropes of children's animation (it is after all a show about a magical princess), to give the show impact when they are twisted.

I made this pic as a thanks for getting 1000 fanart followers on Tumblr:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

 :lol: Best yet.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The pic is actually reasonably closely based on the actual show ...  ;)
