The green avatars represent the green-screen, a key tool in visual effects moviemaking.
Changing your avatar to a green-screen represents solidarity with the computer graphics industry which is currently being plagued by bankruptcy and layoffs (like what happened to me last week ORZ…): Digital Domain, Sony Entertainment, DreamWorks Animation, Pixomondo, Zynga, and more.
The “greenscreen movement” is largely prompted by bankruptcy of Rhythm and Hues, the company responsible for two Oscar-nominated movies this year: Snow White and the Huntsman and Life of Pi. Just weeks before the ceremonies, much of their staff (the people that made those movie!) got laid off - many of those workers picketed outside the Academy on Oscar’s night. Insult was added to injury when Life of Pi won an Oscar for ‘Best Visual Effects’ and the winner’s acceptance speech was cut short as soon as he mentioned the financial issues at R&H (it may not have been intentional, but it still read terribly!).
VFX is highly competitive. When a studio wants to make a movie, VFX houses name a price they can do the work for. Obviously, studios want lower prices and faster work, so VFX houses frequently under-bid each other and ask for unreasonable workdays. Studios thus get more demanding and drive prices into unsustainable territories. In addition, some areas provide subsidies for local VFX work - up to 30%! - meaning studios only have to pay for 70% of the movie. Taxpayers cover the rest. So globally, it’s an uneven playing field. California doesn’t give subsidies, so established Hollywood houses are losing bids that were already too low to begin with. This Reddit post does an amazing job explaining the situation.
While layoffs are familiar in project-based industry, this is a LOT in just a few months, and it brings an unhealthy business model to public light. I encourage you - if you want to work in this field or simply enjoy VFX movies - to research and appreciate the work that goes into them - and maybe we can collectively hope for change.

Yea, my first doodle kinda duplicated and mutated into a girl, and a possible 3/4 more themed drawings. :))

Sunday work~ Party later :3
Doodle-rest-time/new profile pic.
Did a lot of panels today. more panels/animation tomorrow. rest on sunday. end~
Aside from the comics I’ve been doing, I’m also doing some 2d animations, here’s a WIP/scene of it. Im juggling comic-2d animation-3d animation altogether…so yea. :))
I’ll soon post the complete-rough sketch of my comic-to-animation trailer :)
Well, this comic is still in on a haitus, because of personal + art reasons. BUT don’t worry my UnM fans (if there is any) It will be back around march, maybe, I’m trying to pull my stuff together, and thinking of a new approach to the comic. so until then, i’ll just be posting WIP/sneak peek of the new UnM. :)
Back to work + commish. :)
Yup. This is the UnM series of the week LOL
I’ve decided to put it on a haitus, you may ask why, so here are a couple of Q&A I’ve ask/answer myself :)
“Why?” - Well, due to a lot of factors, personal and work, I don’t want to make a half-baked series just to reach the one-per-week quota. Even though this UnM series is a doodle-type comic, I still want to make it a good quality one.
“When will it be back?” I don’t know. A couple of weeks? months? year? days?? LOL
“But will you still continue it?” - Maybe? Maybe not? I don’t know. Again, this is just a haitus. (That’s what Fall Out Boys said too. LOL)
Well as of now, I’m still doing my Project:New world / sub-stories (Shard seekers) and it’s almost done, around Feb/March, I’ll be posting it online the 1st chapters and sell the rest during cons~ :)
