Artcow rcdart / Rory Cummings-Dise - Tranny Fetishist who Torpedoed a Potential Animation Career

Nobody posted her senior film? It's in this video, starting at the 1:05:36 mark. There's also an extra short animation she made in a week, also in the video just after her senior film. And they're both on her vimeo, with some descriptions to go along with them.
And... I actually enjoyed them. I like the style. It's much more refreshing than the steven universe/tumblr style fusion she had going on before.
I'm not sure if anyone posted her linkedin also.
It's interesting that she's going by Rory Dise now - did her parents divorce?
Her senior film also was nominated for a couple awards [1] [2] and actually won Best American Film for the fi:af Animation First 2021 Student Shorts Competition, up against 14 other American student films.
There's a stream of the awards for the Animation First contest here, which was streamed a month or so ago featuring a short interview with Rory herself, which starts around the 10:14 mark. An interesting note is that Rory looks and acts entirely like a girl now. It's hard to believe this is the same person who a few years ago was bragging about drawing terribly proportioned bimbo - I mean, FTM Steve art.
 
The million dollar question: but has her art improved in the slightest?
It's very possible a regressed artist can return to their fullest potential, but she might've quit drawing after being chased off the Internet or has found herself a job. Although since she graduated during the pandemic and literally shut down her Internet presence, I doubt she found herself a job anywhere in the animation field unless she's been working on a portfolio post-graduation.

Honestly, though, not being on the Internet may work out in her favor as long as she continues drawing for herself/potential employers. Literally nobody would've cared had she not brought attention to herself, but also nobody would've cared in the slightest what she likes to draw if she hadn't posted her work online.
 
Sorry if I am late + being on mobile.
But I don't think I have seen Rory's website posted before.

There's a lot of new art; which surprisingly: is STILL bad.

I'll work on the archives tomorrow.
Looks like she's still into trannies.

Honestly, her older shit was way more exciting to look at. At least gay, tranny captain america had a soul. this shit is so bland and low effort. Her moms shelled out thousands of dollars for this final result, what a waste of money and talent.

i kinda really like her not human characters and her paintings tbh, good for her on that front. humans are still ugly and trannified as fuck tho
 
Her nonhuman characters and prop design are the strongest. Her paintings could be interesting, they're a bit sloppy and are very limited in tone variety (if turned grayscale, everything is lost in midtones). There are rare instances here and there among her human character designs that I think "huh, that's not terrible", but of course it's because I've already seen it done before--and done better--by someone much more skilled.
 
God damn you see the paintings and figure drawings and you can see Rory has that potential. Roy can be a good artist. But what the fuck are those character designs? Roy is supposed to be a 2d animator or whatever. Nothing looks appealing, or fluid, or even interesting. none of these would work with a fluid 2d animation.
but I guess 2d animation in the states is all about blocky and lazy animation, isn't it?
 
I never thought I’d be saying this about someone who does art but after following the Rory saga from the very beginning on tumblr, reading this entire thread after I found it and now after looking at her website…Rory should become a furry artist.

The only thing she has any sort of skill left at doing is animalistic characters. Literally every human character she’s ever designed is hideous.

I actually chuckled when I scrolled down to the bottom of one of her website pages, showcasing her new ✨professional, unproblematic image✨ And there’s Strawberry, looking as hideous yet fetishised as ever.
