He's not eating, he's not even drawing, and he loves drawing!
I know. So what can we do?
Do you think it's because I dropped him when he was a baby? No.
Just say it if you think that's what happened. I was right there.
I... I... You could have caught him! I could have.
Hey, Mom. He does. Son! You came out of your room!
No! I'm sorry I worried you guys.
I've just been so sad lately with everything going on.
You know, climate change, the Rona.
But I feel better now.
I'm even drawing again. Really?
Oh, honey, I love when you draw.
You know, I actually started using that drawing software you guys got me.
I knew you would like it! It's like I always say, productivity is key!
Oh, why don't you go show us what you've made?
Really? Go get it! Go get it! Go, go, go!
Oh, Hank, he's making art again.
Our boy's gonna be okay after all.
I knew he would be.
So, um, I actually learned how to make a 3D drawing.
That's so advanced! Hank, he's advanced!
Wow! Okay.
You made a sexy Kirby!
Yay! Mom, no!
I was just messing around with shapes
and circles are usually the easiest to start with. I mean,
I guess it kind of looks like Kirby if I'm like squinting or sick
or something. But, no, it's cool, right?
Okay! Okay, okay.
Let me show you guys something really cool.
This is gonna blow your socks off.
Oh!
Okay, so now this is, um, you added motion.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bingo! I added motion!
That is something that takes people years to learn how to do.
I figured it out in a couple of weeks!
There's something called squash, so that's kind of, like, you can see it condensing there,
and then it stretches back to its, like, slightly larger than the original shape.
I think I want to go to college for animation!
Okay, check this out.
I also figured out how to do dialogue!
Wanna come over to my house?
What the fuck? I've got muffins on the stove! The muffins are on the stove?
Isn't it cool how precisely the lips move with the dialogue?
Wanna see me dance? No. Please!
I wanna dance for you! How does it know I said no? G'day, Dad!
I was using a voice recognition program!
I think I really nailed it! Just, like, I nailed this.
It's based off a real-life viral dance.
Can you guess which one? Ah, the doggie.
No. Um, now I have a question.
Um, I don't know anything about animation.
So, why is it doing that? Oh!
So, Mom, when you build a 3D design,
there's the front half kind of in the 180 this way,
but you also, if you want it to turn at all,
you do have to build the back part.
So, it's actually an entirely different model on the back part
to build it as a huge 3D sphere.
Isn't that so cool? No! No!
It's not cool! What?
Son, I'm gonna level with you.
This is smut.
It makes me sick.
I hate that you used a computer in our communal electricity.
The same electricity that your god-fearing grandmother uses
to power her ventilator to make a sexy Kirby
to put out on the internet. Jeez Louise, Dad!
It's not this easy, and it's barely even Kirby!
I just wish you could freaking get behind me!
I've been so sad lately, and I've empowered myself
to learn an incredibly difficult skill,
and I've finally started creating art again.
Please like me, Daddy.
You know what?
You're right. I should be more supportive.
Wanna play with me, Daddy?
And I will be.
Yeah, you'd love to play with me, Daddy.
I'm thrilled that you're making art.
Daddy, I wanna hold your hand.
Daddy, I wanna hug Daddy, I wanna hug Daddy.
I will always want the best for you,
and will support you, no matter what you do creatively.
Daddy, this is always taking the best. Why does it talk like that?
I'm not a writer, Daddy. Uh, son. You take it.
Please don't be upset, but this is a lot.
A lot. Ha. Et tu, mare tambien?
What? Yeah. Why would old Tobes be upset?
I mean, just because I've learned super advanced skills?
And my own parents don't give a rat to juicy nards about it?
Jesus. Your God can't save you now, Mom.
I'm back to being depressed.
And it's your fault, because I was out there feeling sad,
learning skills that all the artists on deviousart.com wish they
knew how to do.
They were jonesing for it, they told me in the comments.
And you guys just want to call it smut.
Well, let me ask you something.
Is it smut to know how to do this? Specular highlights.
Or this?
Subsurface scattering. Or this?
Come on, Dad.
Chill out. I know it looks rough, but hands are really hard to do. I like this one, actually.
Don't look at me.
