Got to see some really good panels at #lightbox even for the short time I was there it really inspired me. I’m looking forward to a better experience next year28 Oct 2025 00:14 +0000at://did:plc:sceyfuds4k7rnebrim5mb3kd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m47nmsshzk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/aaashley.bsky.social/post/3m3ye2wiqxc23So I had the bright idea of trying to attend #lightboxexpo this year. I live across the country so I sat down and planned this months in advance and let me tell you my experience with airlines has been terrible so far. I’m heart broken that I’ll be missing most of the weekend because of this 😭25 Oct 2025 02:34 +0000at://did:plc:sceyfuds4k7rnebrim5mb3kd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3ye2wiqxc23https://bsky.app/profile/aaashley.bsky.social/post/3m3aqs24nx224Alabaster Whyte is one of my characters from my thesis Despair Repairs.

I decided to recast Brendan Fraser's character Rick O'Connel as Dpharaoh Woon-A-Tai from reservation dogs and reset the script as a sci-fi western. It's been working out pretty well #artsky #storyboarding13 Oct 2025 19:40 +0000at://did:plc:sceyfuds4k7rnebrim5mb3kd/app.bsky.feed.post/3m33xs5mf7k2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/aaashley.bsky.social/post/3m2zrttdhnc2zHaven't been able to post too much lately between school and work.

I absolutely abhor website building and coding. When I was younger I was enrolled in classes that involved that and hated it.

I'm not a fan of dubs normally but the English cast does a great job bringing in some real personality into the series that feels natural. I also love the grandmas more than anyone else https://media.tenor.com/HRqyaexjYc0AAAAC/turbo-granny-dandadan.gif?hh=281&ww=49816 Dec 2024 02:54 +0000at://did:plc:sceyfuds4k7rnebrim5mb3kd/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldfdavmz4c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/aaashley.bsky.social/post/3ldcs73c6pr2tI've only just managed to finish my semester and I'm already itching to draw again...

This long boy is a Stryx Owl, basically just a barn owl with three eyes. I really like how he turned out. One out of two assignments left down.

This is suited for people in CA or NY. Titmouse is an amazing studio, I'm sad I won't be able to take advantage of opportunity. But I hope sharing it will help find the right people for this.
