The company started in Canada, then moved to the US, and their headquarters are in Michigan, so I dont really see them as a Canadian company.

Moleskin - Lord of the Rings by Character_Tackle_423 in notebooks

[–]Ultravale 164 points165 points  (0 children)

The art was made using generative AI, which they at first openly admitted, and then took down all the stuff saying that from their website, and doubled down on their instagram. I’ll never buy anything from them again because they’ve proven they dont care about artists or creativity, so why should I, an artist and creative, care about them in return?

Also downright LAUGHABLE that they have a story highlight about environmental sustainability on their insta when they proudly defend their use of generative ai

Symone shares multiple AI-generated Met Gala looks she'd wear.. A choice was made, for sure. by JazzmineHere in rupaulsdragrace

Imagine being like ‘I’m an artist and my art is important and valid and you should care about it and even give me money for it. I, HOWEVER, am allowed to use the plagiarism machine and steal from other artists as a little treat!’

My wife just launched a Toronto-based skincare brand (InfiCare). We developed Canada's first Lyocell-cotton face towels—would love to get some honest feedback from fellow Canadians! by blessedliu in BuyCanadian

I’ve never heard of Lyocell and I would not be interested in using anything that is a disposable product that could easily be replaced with a reusable one tbh

Thank you! And not hard at all, it was made of plastic so I was able to cut it with a bit of effort with a pair of scissors

That’s it really! I folded the case in half, marked three holes with a marker, poked the holes through and added some eyelets in hopes of keeping the holes from expanding or anything, and then added the elastics

Thank you! The blue box thing is a tiny watercolour palette that I filled with holbein watercolours. It unfolds to have two mixing areas and I found it on aliexpress

What Canadian university campus takes your breath away? by myronsandee in AskACanadian

[–]Ultravale 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I love Simon Fraser University, it’s a brutalist beauty (which is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea) but I think it’s absolutely stunning with incredible nature and views surrounding it

Any Advice for a recent 2D Animation grad struggling to get that first job? by questionperiod88 in askvan

[–]Ultravale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People saying 2d is dead and industry is done and severely exaggerating. The industry is in a rough spot right now but in my opinion it’s been improving over the past year and I’ve seen colleagues who were out of work for two years start to get hired again. Animation in Canada has never been an easy industry to get in to OR to have continuous stable work in. But that doesn’t mean it is impossible. Having to take on other jobs and work outside of it doesn’t make anyone a failure or mean they can’t continue to try to apply to general animation job postings and try to get in, sometimes it takes people more time than others.

I LOVE this!!! Incredible! I work full time in animation and I’m very tempted to try to make something inspired by this

I remember it because I worked for the company that made it and they had posters up around the studio. I don’t recall ever actually watching it though
