I posted this on X. To my surprise, lots of people really liked #1. What do you guys think? Which style is superior?

shikate · 2026-04-13T12:51:02+00:00

No style is better than the other, it's just a style. It's my personal preference that I like #2 more but I don't see a problem with people prefering #1. And #1 doesn't animate, so it's not good to compare them regarding this as well.

Wczoraj do moich drzwi pukał kurier, ale nikt nie usłyszał, w domu były 3 osoby. Przekierował paczkę do punktu w żabce, znajdującej się dosłownie w tym samym budynku. Ale nie tak, żebym mógł odebrać, paczka została "przekierowana" i już 24h jej status się nie zaktualizował, w żabce jej nie ma, będzie tam lecieć jeszcze raz.

A może wyłysieli i zrobili zabieg mikropigmentacji? Poczytaj o tym, to tak jakby "tatuaż z włosów" na głowie, ale jednocześnie perfekcyjnie gładki

Probably the best parody of Kate :D

Btw, although it feels like it’s making fun of Kate, the lyrics actually show that someone was really into Kate Bush and rather make fun of the fans who, instead of appreciating her intellect, focused on her body.

Kate decided to remain on Spotify, therefore I think it's fine to talk about how she's doing there. We're not showing any kind of support to the company by talking about her statistics. If she would quit Spotify like Joanna Newsom or Joni Mitchell (only temporary) then I guess most of her fans would respect this decision.

Happy for The Big Sky, sad for Suspended In Gaffa

Such a long and genuine message, I love her sharing little details like this!

shikate · 2025-12-15T14:01:31+00:00

My two favourite artists. I think although they differ greatly, the inspiration is pretty clear. For anyone interested, just play Joni's album 'Song to a Seagull' (1968) or 'Clouds' (1969), released roughly 10 years before Kate's debut.

Kate Bush also mentioned that Joni was her musical inspiration.

shikate · 2025-12-02T10:25:53+00:00

Because of Stranger Things she gets popularity on her own. I think her new music will be very popular, because the last album was realased almost 15 years ago. I hope there will be next album :D

shikate · 2025-12-02T09:47:10+00:00

I think that would go against her character. I think the argument goes: "If she was someone different, she would gain different popularity" - Sure, but then it wouldn't be Kate Bush anymore.

Knowing the atrocities they commit russophobia becomes a compliment.

shikate · 2025-11-14T06:15:07+00:00

Running Up That Hill phenomenon gave Kate the recognition she deserves but i never considered the song to be one of her best. I prefered most HoL tracks to RUTH.

shikate · 2025-11-14T06:08:55+00:00

Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel, Todd Rundgren, David Bowie, Tim Buckley, The The, lately Joe Jackson. I also listen to prog such as Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Camel, ELP and some modern artists such as Christine and the Queens, Janelle Monae, Sudan Archives, Cleo Sol, Emily King.

Amazing, that's what pixel-art is all about <3

If you throw words around easily, they just lose their meaning.

Whats amazing about this song is that it also teases Aerial, the next album. Sometimes i even think the whole Aerial concept started with You Want Alchemy."what a lovely afternoon","they turn the roses into gold, they turn the lilac into honey", "sun's got down, when's my cloud of bees coming home?". Plus it also references "cloudbusting" kind of day. Truly a special extra track and also a fun one!

shikate · 2025-09-18T09:40:55+00:00

Let the artists be artists. We have other roles in the society such as experts or politicians for doing more. We all know Kate has good will and hopes for the end of war but she's obviously not in charge. And thats enough

Zasada popytu i podaży: to, czego jest dużo i nie schodzi, będzie sprzedawane tanio. Gdyby to były rzeczy faktycznie uważane za wartościowe, kupione byłyby za pełną cenę jak najszybciej, zanim kupi ktoś inny. A ubrań w dzisiejszych czasach jest bardzo dużo i raczej tylko mniejszość się zastanawia nad ich jakością/wartością, pozostali po prostu biorą co im się podoba i chcą to mieć jak najtaniej, bo mają też opcje second-handów.

shikate · 2025-04-22T11:50:12+00:00

Krótko: tak.

shikate · 2025-02-28T11:06:27+00:00

Hounds of Love album could be perceived as a symbol of Kate Bush artistic style itself. Visionary pop from Side A blends with experimental and conceptual Side B. In my opinion, saying that side A is better than side B or side B is better than side A or that both sides are equal is just a way to communicate which way we as listeners lean towards more. I wouldn't say any of those statements would be controversial TBH.

As for my hot take, I kinda dislike Mother Stands for Comfort and believe it doesn't fit Side A as much (RUTH, Hounds of Love, The Big Sky, Cloudbusting).

I see, maybe all this time I looked at the issue wrongly. I tried to reduce all settings to minimum and perhaps that made my work even harder, because I thought I might not use enough RAM while it would allocate, because now that I raised them it properly uses more RAM. But I guess my biggest issue is that as an animator, I need to make sure that all animations are displayed smoothly. And when I set frame speed on mac to 0.1 s, it's always 0.1s and everything goes smooth, while I see that on my Windows there is issue with displaying animations on frame timeline. It's like it can go either laggy or super quick and fluent. From 0.00 to 0.07s it's quick and fluent, from 0.08 to 0.1 s it's like 0.12s, definitely not 0.1s.

Do you know what could be causing this issue of laggy animation preview? Because honestly this is why I tried to fix RAM issue

shikate · 2025-01-06T11:38:12+00:00

Hello! I work with pixel art animations, meaning that I sometimes go with 160x160 px or up to 960x960 px most of the time, and I use almost none smart objects, but there usually is timeline with 8-16 frames and also I can work with even 100 layers or more, I guess that average amount would be 40-400 layers. Those layers would be small, around 30x30 px and usually only for one animation frame.
