Life Could Be A Dream (meme)SleepyGrim2017-01-16 | Ok, I added that flashy part because it looked super plain in the middle ;o;
My first Orginal? meme!
first version (no white flashes) youtu.be/oPuguvvbyos)Otter pop - Meme (Remake)SleepyGrim2022-12-11 | It's been five years since I made the first one wowie!
I've been posting on tiktok these past few years and once people started recognizing who I was they started telling me how nostalgic it was and how Otter Pop was a common favourite! I didn't even realize that Otter Pop is still my most viewed video to date!
I look back at my old videos fondly as it was also my childhood and I could separate it from the funkiness that was irl. However I always get an urge to remake them since technically, they're not great. I know that I was younger and less experienced but I can also recall a bunch of lazy choices on my part aha.
People who watched the original will probably notice that I replaced David with a different character. This is my current sona! Grim the racoon. I've changed David quite a bit since then so he didn't really fit anymore, and I figured that including my old and current sonas would be a nice idea to celebrate 5 years :)
As always, I would really appreciate any donations to my Patreon! I'm not the best at managing it cos I've got spicy brain, but the money really helps! You'll also get your name on the end of future videos as a thank you :D

Anyway, I wanted to do a simpler meme before I attempt the original I have in mind (if I end up doing it) and this one is very simple and I already wanted to do it eventually.
For those interested, this character's name is Ventra. She's a dnd character that I haven't been able to play yet but I can't wait till I can. She's a Siren Tempest Cleric with generational trauma and very strong emotions. Slight continuity error in the video, but Siren's actually can't fly when they're sad but can sing sad songs that have negative status effects on people. When they're happy, they can fly and sing happy songs :) Siren's are cool. If you're interested in the Siren dnd race that Ventra is, check out Odyssey of the Dragonlords!
Check out the original: youtu.be/Ylc4HjHA6NgFace my fears - Original MemeSleepyGrim2022-06-28 | AHH! I finally finished a meme! and an original one no less! Power of kingdom hearts music!
The theme for this meme is also pretty personal to me. It's supposed to be about accepting my autism, but it could also be interpreted as acceptance in general.
I'm glad I could do this though, all my memes are pretty old at this point and don't really show my current skill level. I've improved a lot and it's really nice going back to my roots with memes. Hopefully I can do more too :)
I have a patreon btw! Any support would be greatly appreciated! You'd get your name featured in future videos and access to exclusive stuff!

I made a film for my second year of uni! like I've said, I've been busy ;u;
I'm so proud of what me and my friend managed to accomplish with this film despite the setbacks and our bad mental health problems.
A lot of the original idea was cut, but it was worth it to create a film that looks finished. Maybe one day we'll return to it and include the cut content. Don't hold your breath though, we're both very tired.
This film is about something we both love and something that kept us sane for the past few years, Dungeons and Dragons! ft my character Nymphadora Laburnum, the Lago Wildfire Druid, and his character Larkin Abershaw the Rodere Ranger.
There was only two of us on the animation team for this film (perhaps a mistake), but we did a great job and we owe so much to the freelancers who helped us! Especially Rory who comped the whole film for us like a legend! And our music producer who did all of the music and sound effects too!
I'm still going to be busy with uni work and sorting out my mental health (still, guh), but I'm defiantly inspired to animate again and I hope to make more videos! especially with all the support and love I've been getting on tiktok too :) Hopefully I'll be able to create a showreel of all the animation work I've done this year like the last one.2d Animation Showreel!SleepyGrim2021-05-21 | Hey! so it's been a while...heh
I've been very busy with life and uni but thankfully it's an animation course and I had to make an animation showreel for my last assignment! Unfortunately I can't say this is my best work but I did what I could despite the difficult circumstances.
I can't promise that this is the start of my channel's revival but I am still animating and creating art even if I'm not able to find the time to create a video. I do regularly post on Instagram and Artfol under the name Sleepygrim so if you still want to see my work, check me out there!

She has quite a tragic tale but there is beauty in the darkness.
Desolo Zantas is an amazing musician who commissioned me a while back. we got to chatting and it turns out he's a super cool guy and he offered to create a piece of music for me. I gave him an image and brief description of Kaida and he created this song which suits her personality and story perfectly!
I say this is a collaboration of sorts as I ended up painting this digital piece inspired by the song inspired by the character. Desolo then generously animated the image like you see here.
You should absolutely check out his channel for amazing remixes and original songs by him. links to his channel and my artwork are below.
seriously though, I've been so busy with college and uni prep, I've had no time to make a video. I've tried to, plenty of times, but something always ends up going wrong. I've recorded several drawings but the program would crash, or the video file was lost or I did it in the wrong format ahhhh.
yea, lots of small little problems. But in case you weren't aware, I finish college in a few months ahh! working on my final project now. Then I'm going to study animation and character design at university (which I've been offered a place for yaas). Before that, however, I'm going to take a break for a year to work on me. Self appreciation and what-not. As well as hopefully working on my youtube channel a little more! been itching to animate and i'll soon be able to! unless yall wanted to see a little "animation dump" of sorts. Just a bunch of practice animations I've done both for college and myself, to get it out of my system.
In the meantime, be patient, know I'm alive, and stop wishing me happy birthday, that was some time ago. (though my 18th is coming up o0o)

I'm okay! lots been going on in life and college and lack of motivation just got in the way. I wish I could upload more but I can't make any promises aha.
Glad I finally managed to get around to actually finishing a video though. I'm proud of how it turned out but editing effects will always illude me.
I can't direct you to the original meme since I believe the channel is no longer up.birhtdaySleepyGrim2018-07-04 | only quality content on this channel.
oh and I'm 17 now whoo. happy 4th of July.i wanna dance - meme (ft Kaho)SleepyGrim2018-06-29 | yay collab! I love doing collabs and I'd love to do them more. Just have a few more jobs to finish off then I can start doing more Youtube stuff!
Kaho and I thought a meme collaboration would be a nice way to express our friendship and the fact that our styles are different. She was inspired by me and has worked hard to make her style her own which is something everyone does! No art style is original and people shouldn't hate on artists for being inspired by others.
(it's been a while since I drew the first few frames for this meme and I already hate the proportions but I still think it's a pretty meme and was very well edited by Kaho)BloomSleepyGrim2018-05-28 | Finally did that meme I promised! I quite like how this one turned out. I hope to do more while I'm off college for the summer holidays so expect me to be at least a little more active.
I'm falling in love with this whole 70s vhs aesthetic. don't be surprised if you see me use this style more.
thanks for being patient with me while I focus on college!Doodle Redraw - SpeedpaintSleepyGrim2018-01-28 | Sorry again for the long break! I've been so busy with college I just haven't had any time for animation outside of college. I've been able to get some drawing done though and I managed to record this one. I hope you enjoy it.
Music: Nomu - Good kid Undercover Martyn - Two Door Cinema Club Something good can work - Two Door Cinema Clubsponge on me - meme (100k!!)SleepyGrim2017-11-11 | uhh. wut? 100k??!! seriously?! that's incredible than you all so much for getting me this far! I never imagined I would get so popular! especially since I'm not very active cos of school and college ;w;
Sorry this isn't an amazing video with lots of animation but 100k came from nowhere and I didn't have a video planned. I hope this enough for now.
I know I keep apologising for it but again, I'm really sorry for never uploading. I got 2 collabs in the works (one of which I'm struggling with aha) that should be done pretty soon. that will probably be it for a while.
Thank you all again for the support and encouragement! It really means a lot

(face and voice reveal)SleepyGrim2017-10-11 | AHhh it's finally done!!! again I'm sorry I haven't been very active recently but like I said in the video, college is my main priority right now. Before you ask; I am 16, english college is the equivalent to american highschool...I think. I haven't been moved into college early cos I'm smart aha.
Shout out to my mum who recorded the unboxing video and guessed I would edit it.
I will also be doing a giveaway so look out for a video on how to enter.
Music (doesn't belong to me) -youtu.be/5ueJ4-lTa1s -youtu.be/cZ7HCCmkKWwOtter pop - meme?SleepyGrim2017-08-20 | hey guys! sorry I haven't been posting a lot recently but the projects I've been working on are taking longer than expected. I've also been away for a few weeks on a course which was interesting.
K, so, I have no idea whether this is a meme or not. I saw a few different versions of the meme and then I also saw some videos that I liked that said they weren't memes so I kind of mashed them all together.
Also I know there isn't a lot of animation here, but that's because I wanted to make a video that wasn't another speedpaint. And I thought this song was really sweet.
Anyway! hopefully I'll get some more videos done soon! ooh! I also have my GCSE test results back on thursday so I'll see if I got into the collage course level I wanted! yay! wish me luck my lovelies.

this is a very rough painting but I like how it doesn't have to be perfectly clean to be pretty.
Anywho, a while ago, I took the pottermore quiz to find my hogwarts house, wand and patronus. I'm reaally happy with my results! I'm a slytherin with a beech wood and phoenix feather core wand, and a Black Mamba patronus (snek)

anywho. I was inspired to do this challenge after seeing a few people like wolfychu do it and I thought, "hey, I'm ambidextrous, I've drawn with my left hand before on paper, I should be good that this."
I WAS SO WRONG! IT'S SO HARD TO DRAW WITH THE WRONG HAND WHEN YOU'RE USING A TABLET AHHH!!info!SleepyGrim2017-06-07 | thank you guys for being so supportive as my channel grows! and for being patent with me while I'm doing my exams.
music: youtu.be/neDVRuobljIdont talk - memeSleepyGrim2017-06-04 | didn't think I'd be able to get this done before I continue with my exams but yey, I was.
I reallly liked this meme because of all the animation! I was rushing it so it isn't as smooth as it could be but I'm pretty happy with it. and by that I mean I'm probably going to end up hating it in a few days but eh, what can you do?
the only thing I'm not sure about is the backgrounds. I saw them in the original and felt it worked but I'm not very good a choosing images and videos that fit with my work ;o;
also David has a new design! you can see him pop up for a few seconds every now and then. He basically just has a light patch on his chin and a different hairstyle (which I'm obsessed with but you can't really see all of it in this ahh)
Original: youtu.be/rAGhvKSfFJkUmbra - speedpaintSleepyGrim2017-06-03 | I have an open species called Ponchopals! which started with Poncho kitty (Poki). Loads of people have made their own little Poncho people but this one that a friend of mine made on Instagram is on of my favourites. I'm a sucker for ghosties and this little ghostie is so precious!! he looks like he could be a pokemon!! I kind of want to make my own poncho ghostie inspired by this bab.
Character: Umbra by cxtpotter on instagram song(s): - youtu.be/4sXylMt4DM8 -youtu.be/jEyNr6CrzHMThe wolf - meme (SleepyGrim edition)SleepyGrim2017-06-01 | just in case any of you are confused as to why I deleted this is because despite my in-denial about repetitive criticism getting to me, I have to admit that it did....and I freaking hate that. I was weak XD I was so happy to share this meme cos i love this song and I wanted to do it since the song came out. I was a bit slow at making it so other original versions of memes to this song were made and I didn't notice till I posted it the first time. I didn't care tho, cos my version is original. Every different version of this meme is original because they look different. Yes, most of the versions are black and white but that's as a nod to the music video. Making the colour pallet from the video is not disrespectful to the original animators in any way. I am a fan of the song and animation and this is a fan creation for it. I won't let criticism get to me no matter how much it gets on my nerves (I'd like to clarify, I don't mean constructive criticism. If you want to give me any advice on how you think I could improve please feel free. eg, more detailed frames, more shading. please not "more animation" cos I do as much animation as I can in a meme but if it isn't required because the meme is simple. I will get to the animation like amvs and map parts when I have more free time and experience.)
I'm sorry for being silly. I'm incredibly neurotic and pessimistic so I forgot to consider the people who actually like my videos, and those who are being patient with me while I'm currently unable to work to my full potential. thanks guys.
However! I will not be making an original meme for a looong time. I realise now that it takes a lot of planning and time for it to look good and I also want to improve my editing. I will do memes every now and then (tho I did consider just quitting aha) purely to practice my editing. again, I'm more of a frame by frame animator but I appreciate that editing can make things look even more interesting and beautiful! I want to utilise that effect to improve my animations to the best they can be.
thank you for being patient with me through my noobie stages.

I'm so happy with this! I've wanted to do this meme for a while and now I have! and I did it with the amazing Bumfteeny! definitely go subscribe to her because he videos are amazing! and she deserves more subs!
She edited this one and It looks sooo much better than what I could have done aha, especially in the limited free time I have right now.

I Haven't been very active but I do have a reason. I was going to make an info video but I just don't have time right now. And that is because I am doing my GCSEs. whoop. For those who don't know English exam stuff, they're my really important final exams so I can go to college and escape the shit whole that is my school.
After I leave I have some big projects planned but I should also have time for a few mini videos here and there. BUT I will also be going on a summer trip for a few weeks. NCS for any of you British dudes
Anyway! I hope you enjoy this quick speedpaint of sporty me with a song to go with how I feel about school right now. (also I tried line-less and It was a huge pain in the butt so I might not do it again for a while.)

I also saw it as a good opportunity to play around with effects. some of them didn't turn out the way they looked in the program but that's fine. I just really like the part when he's falling (sorry David)
Anywho, hope you like it :D

I don't paint like this a lot but I do love the way it looks! unfortunately I'm never confident enough to record it because it can get really messy ;m; I think this went pretty well though! The only thing that could have gone better would be the hind paws. I could have also put in a background too but by the end my hand was dead.
Featuring some of my ocs! -Sleepy -David -Poncho kitty -My friend's oc Shiwa -Vixen Vedas -Grim -Jason (my twin bro)
I've been wanting to do this meme for a while cos I thought it was cute and it would be a nice little animation to do to pass the time. Boi hOWdy was I wrong.
I put a butt load of effort into this and I didn't think that was really necessary with memes but I really wanted this to look good. To mark a new era of SleepyGrim animation standards (whatever I mean by that).
Working out how to animated the backgrounds was hard but there's probably an easier way than what I did (but I ain't gonna look up how to do it, no sir, cos I'm difficult and I hate myself)
Also! Why in the hell, did I chose to shade some of it? It looks good and I'm glad I did it now that its done but gosh! I could feel my sanity slowly slipping.

I've got so many subscribers in such a short amount of time! (at least since I started "regularly" posting videos and animations) I'm super happy about it! especially since I now have enough money to buy sony vegas pro 13! for this and my last meme I used pro 14 free trial.
Thank you so much for liking my animation and I hope I'll be able to add a lot more to this channel!

Original: youtu.be/mfgnliR9uW8pork soda meme (flash warning?)SleepyGrim2017-02-13 | I forgot her flipping ears for a majority of the meme. and If you've ever had the misfortune of animating with windows movie maker you would know that if you notice a mistake you made at the beginning when you're almost done, it will take a LOOOng time to fix it. so I did not.
Also the meme isnt supposed to flash like this but again, windows movie maker is crap, and I had to make it look as effective as I could with what I have. I pretty much put lipstick on a pig but hey, I really wanted to do this meme, and I know know better than to do really snazzy ones.
