Starcheopteryxt's heeeeeere! I started this at the beginning of November thinking I'd have consistent energy to work on it. Boy was I wrong!
I have such... mixed feelings about how the storyboard came out. I'm excited to work on the finished video, but so much of the animation will be subtle acting, and I feel like the pacing of the storyboard is a bit off in some places... I'm glad I made it, I'm probably just grumpy because of crunch time.
Again, thank you all for being so patient with me, I'm way behind schedule with stuff I wanted to get done in January, I'm trying really hard to fight executive dysfunction, you know how it is. I'm gradually making progress on myself, and I hope I can pass that onto my work.

Instagram - instagram.com/starcheopteryx Patreon! - patreon.com/StarcheopteryxJealous [Animation Meme]Starcheopteryx2024-04-25 | Man this has been done since January, but I've been toiling with making it public cause I felt it was missing a few touches. So I went back and added some zooms and I feel a lot better about it!
This is a completed YCH for @Fairyf0x They also bought the Nowhere to run YCH a while back too!
--- Sorry for being so inactive folks! I'm still kicking about - floating, really. I'm heading back to Uni in September to resume my 3rd and 4th years, so right now I'm just trying to rekindle my passion for animation. Hope to have an OC amv out before then, we'll see...Was it the BoogieMan? [Animation Meme]Starcheopteryx2023-09-09 | Wee bit of a blood warning but I think it's light enough to be ok.
Anyway, this is finally done!! I've been chipping away at this for months, but over the summer I got a wicked bad burnout, followed by a lot of real life stuff I don't really want to talk about. There's still stuff going on, so I'm probably not gonna be crazy active until my last YCH is done, but the goal is to get that done for the end of the year, so I can recover during the last 8ish months of my gap year.
Thanks to Otter for being so patient with me while working on this, through my burnout and my own ambition slowing me down. I absolutely adored working with this character design! Characters are their OCs, Needlerose (main cat) And Firethorn (dead cat)
Song - Boogie Woogie Wu by ICPEveryone is Dumb! [Animation Meme]Starcheopteryx2022-11-13 | Completed YCH for @jailmeat2844 ! This character was a blast to draw, thank you so much for buying the auction!
Finished this one so much faster than I was expecting. Granted the animation is a lot more simple but I actually feel a little faster these days. Sure hope this amount of productivity doesn't shrivel up and die inside of me never to be seen again (jk I got a vacation coming up)
Don't have a whole lot to add for this one. I practiced a lot of different stuff with it - especially in After Effects. I usually only use it for post production effects but I made the whole video in it (minus slapping on the credits at the end) You guys ever use the parent link thing? it's very convenient. Now I just gotta wait for the properties panel to come out of Beta...
Animated in Clip Studio Paint and edited in After Effects (Except the photo parts that's just... me)
Gonna release another auction soon so... watch out for that :3Nowhere to Run [Animation Meme]Starcheopteryx2022-11-03 | Feels good to be getting faster at these! Refining my workflow a bit. I struggled with the backgrounds, but I'm so glad I did them before the character animation... It made wrapping up a lot more fun!
Also, it's so fun to animate other people's characters... I will probably work on refining commission prices so I can do truly custom videos...
This is a completed YCH prize for @Fairyf0x ! Thank you so much for buying, it was great working with you!

... I've run out of stuff to add, so I guess see you at the next upload!Untrust Us [Animation Meme] (Flash Warning)Starcheopteryx2022-07-05 | I'm pretty happy with how this turned out!
I also tried a new workflow for this... and I'm pretty happy with it, I'll write the process in detail further down if anyone particularly wants to know.
This was a fun project to work on! It's the finished YCH of an auction I hosted (youtu.be/qY9vH20Qypo), and the buyer ended up being an animator I'd been following for yeeeears, since I went by KomicKake, I think. So working on this felt oddly nostalgic!
Go check them out! They've always had really smooth animation and deserve more attention.
Characters - @GlassLemonX (I was going by the spelling on discord when I made the titlecard)
I plan to upload a preview for New Years Eve soon! It's no where near done, but just wanna prove I'm working on it and have more or less settled on an art direction.
Basically for animation, the character animation was done in CSP with a small pixelated brush, then exported it out as a transparent video, then imported into premiere to edit the footage together. I used the dynamic link with AE to smoothe the lineart using OLM Smoother (a free plugin). I also used the puppet tool for one small facial expression, and just the shape tool to make the star shape in the credits. Back over to Premiere to finish the credits, before nesting the whole timeline and adding a vhs filter to it.
Maybe next time I'll try exporting the animation as an image sequence instead of a video, I hear that is a bit more efficient.(Animation) Talking to My Girlfriend About MushroomsStarcheopteryx2022-05-21 | In which Bird and Worm (I voice the Bird, My girlfriend Allison voices the worm and the squirrel at the end! Like I said before, I had another video to upload! I would have uploaded it before, but I had to make an end screen, and it seems that burnout hasn't let me go completely, so I had to get myself to make the screen... but I figure it might be good to just get the video out, work on making a new screen in the meantime! (I also need to make a proper thumbnail!)
This was made for my animated documentary class! We were split into groups! my group decided to just split up and make an anthology film (our film topic was mushrooms) thats why the worm opens to black, I originally assumed it would be laid over another film for transition. It didn't end up that way, but my part is the same so
Again, this was made in the same made character animation first (all character animation was made in TVpaint 10, on 3's and 4's mostly, done straight ahead for most of it), then made the bg. this and Meet Me Inside both taught me to DO BACKGROUNDS FIRST.
The last storyboard was a bit I was going to do, but I had worked so hard, animating for months on end, I decided to just submit the original film without the spore print bit. (I had gotten feedback from the tutor at the time, that it might be good to include more information about spore prints for those who weren't already into mycology), but i didn't know how to put that in without messing up the flow. I really wanted to go for the conversational, Midnight Gospel feel. So I was going for an Art Attack informational style thing... but I couldn't take animating anymore, so I cut it. (Don't worry, I passed it's cool)
Anyway, back to work on Untrust Us, and then you guys can keep your eyes peeled for more YCH auctions!

--- Important update, I'm planning to take another year out of school. The last semester has been really bad for my physical and mental health - and it's the first time in a long time I've gotten sick from stress. (Fun gross fact - when I was working on Pigeon for a school project, I worked so hard on it for so long, that I had caused a cyst near my tailbone to get infected. I experienced the most pain I have ever experienced, and had to go to the hospital. I was worried it was going to happen again this term.) So, I think the year out is needed while I work on myself.
These characters belong to @storm-is-god who bought the auction! It was great working with them, and they were so patient along the way!
Also, starting with my next video - I will be listing all people who pledge to my patreon at the end of the video! I was going to wait to add more tiers to do it - but I like having one base tier that anyone can pledge from and get the same rewards!
On that note, expect a another new video soon! The animation is all done, I just need to make an outro for it. But if you're a patron, you've already seen it!
This was a looooong one in the making. A lot of school and mental health stuff slowed me down, but I'm really happy with how it turned out! And I learned a lot while making it! Because I had taken so long, I really wanted to make it something worth buying.
I have one more YCH prize to do now that this is done, then I want to work on New Year's Eve for a bit before doing another auction... I want to release it for New Years if possible, so... about 6 months left to do that... most of the shots are simple acting, but some are a lot more intense! I've got my girlfriend to help me color, at least!

(10x10x22)Starcheopteryx2022-03-19 | Hi everyone! Been a while huh?
Like I've said, all my animation stuff has been school stuff, or stuff I can't really show off yet. Meet Me Inside is making good progress, and should be done with in the next month or so! (Then I work on Untrust Us, then the plan is to work on New Years Eve, I really want to get that done in time for new years!)
My college does this thing every year where everyday for 10 days (except the weekend) you make a little film. It's actually a really fun exercise and I learned about the programs I thought I already knew about. (I learned CSP has a paint behind option for brushes, and how to do more anime like shading) and as you saw, even did a little bit on paper too!
College will still have me busy for a little bit, but I'm excited for the summer to upload more art! Probably won't do more YCH but we'll see - I just really want to work on personal art!
won't plug my links just now, since this is just a passing video to wet your beaks. Expect more soon!Bluestars Library - Complete Warriors MAPStarcheopteryx2021-12-20 | Over a year in the making! But I'm very happy with how this MAP came out.
This is only my second MAP in recent years, and I've learned a LOT from this. I'm more confident going into my next MAP in terms of my own organisation! I was on fence on whether to make a credit sequence, but because the audio is so short, I decided against it.
Someone else also made a Bluestar video to this audio, I did not see it before storyboarding mine, but there are similarities from both being inspired from the original, make sure to check it out! youtu.be/uAtl29ctTNsAllergic to People - Animation Meme (FLASH WARNING)Starcheopteryx2021-06-05 | Finished YCH prize for Redactdead! Thank you so much for buying the auction!
This was my first time using an iPad app called callipeg! And while I really like the app, I don't think I'll use it again- just because the file sizes are huge?? I don't know why. I'll stick to clip studio paint I think!

Patreon - patreon.com/StarcheopteryxIs This What You Wanted - MAP part 42 + GAOMON S620 TABLET REVIEWStarcheopteryx2020-12-26 | This isn’t the New Years video I’ve been working on, but it’s a video!
This marks the last part I owe! A rare feeling for animators these days. I probably won't take another part in any MAPs until February, as art/animation wise I still have plenty of work to do the next couple of months!
Storywise this just takes place just after/at the end of the Cain PMV. I storyboarded this like a year ago when I originally got the part.
This MAP is still open! youtu.be/2qSBVgej0_g Follow me on Instagram if want! instagram.com/starcheopteryx (I’ll add a send space link closer to when the MAP is completed, since the links can expire!)Cain - OC PMVStarcheopteryx2020-11-22 | Well... It's been a while since I posted the storyboard! And I've teased this coming out for a while. Thanks to people keeping company on streams, I've had the motivation to actually get this done...
Characters in order of appearance- -Anise (she/her, blue cat with blue eyes, Root's mother) -Burdock (he/him, blue grey cat with big spot on face, Root's father) -Root (she/her, grey cat with stripes down the back) -Ginger (they/them, cat with heart on their cheek, Root's sibling) -Pyro (he/him, dark red wolf wit stripe down the back) -Ash (he/him, plain grey wolf with blue eyes, Pyro's brother) -Mesi (she/her, light grey wolf with grey splotches, Pyro's sister)
I feel like the video is mostly self explanatory, but if you want more detail; Root lives in a huge group of cats, and her dad is the leader of them. Pyro was divided from his siblings near birth and is taken in by the cats, but eventually reconnects with Ash and Mesi. Pyro, Ginger, Ash and Mesi form a sort of friend group, which Root is envious of, as Pyro is basically her only friend. Root eventually snaps, and lures Ginger into the wild to kill them. She isn't close with her parents either, and decide to just take care of them, she gets that benefit of being leader after he dad after all. After taking down Burdock and Anise, Pyro comes across her, stunned. She convinces him it was all an accident, self defence etc, so he helps her bury the bodies.
This video was an absolute beast to get through, and my art actually changed a lot during the year, which made it hard to be consistent.
This would have taken a little longer if my girlfriend hadn't helped me colour!

I'm surprised I got this done as quick as I did... maybe my new medication is working(CLOSED) Bluestars Library Experimental MAPStarcheopteryx2020-10-09 | Surprise! I made this storyboard like six weeks ago and lately I've been wanting to make another map...since this is short I'll start with this.
Let's jump straight into MAP rules!
1. Resolution must be 1:1, so a square. Preferable like 1500x1500 to keep the parts consistent. 2. It's experimental! so 3d, stop motion, paper cutouts, that's all allowed. I will allow more time for these, as long as you can send wips of some sort. (You don't HAVE to experiment, but it's encouraged) 3. You don't need to stick to the body types/shapes in the ref, adapt to whatever style you like! 4. If you join, you MUST join the discord. This helps keep me up to date. 5.There's no codeword, if there's something you miss and you mess up, that sounds like a you problem. 6. Collabs are ok! Just let me know and please all parties join the discord too if possible! 7. I'll be picking parts tomorrow, so you don't needs to rush to ask for parts! 8. No spectators in the server please!
Backups! Unlimited, just ask for backup and hop in the server!
THUMBNAIL CONTEST Hell yeah, this time I'm dipping my toes into the thumbnail contest pool. For this, you'll also need to be in the server! There's only a few rules.
1. Must be 1920x1080 2. Bluestar must be in it in some way! 3. Please send me versions with and without text!

These are my warriors OCs, Moonstar is receiving a bad prophecy about a new kit, which the parents later name 'Monarchkit' just to mess with him.
I also tried a little workflow with AE and Roughanimator, which was interesting!
I finally finished my first sketchbook tour, and it's a double whammy! I do want to do these kind of videos alongside my other content,,, Also, sorry it's so long. I guess I probably shoulda split them up!
Since this is my first sketchbook tour I'd appreciate if you guys shared it around .o.
i cant remember the last time i enjoyed animating tho so that might be it too

This was my first MAP in some years and hosting is pretty different from how it used to be. This was my first MAP with a discord server, and it made things soooo much easier. There was only one dropped/kicked part and that was because I never heard from the person since they didn't join the server, everything else ran pretty smoothly!
Since this was my first MAP in a while, there were a couple of things I didn't do that are pretty standard now. I didn't do a thumbnail contest and I didn't do a credit sequence, things which I'll probably do next time now that my toes are back in the MAP pool.

I might do the same thing that I did with Pigeon and make a couple big backgrounds for the majority of the video, idk
Besides it maybe being kinda hard to tell which character is which, I feel like the storyline of the PMV is pretty straight forward. These are some of my OCs, the main one being Root. The wolf near the end, I’m sure some of you recognise, is Pyro! The other family members I have no names for yet rip

*deep breath* It's DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE.
A long overdue commission for FABtastic Domino!! This was one wild journey... This was commissioned like, a year ago, right before things got kinda crazy for me?? Right after I was commissioned, we moved house, started college, had surgery, had exams, FINISHED college, it was one thing after another after another, sheesh. As usual, Domino was a patient gentleman the whole time. He was a delight to work with.
I don't usually take that long, but this year decided to throw a lot of medical issues at me... those better be over I swear to god body please let me do stuff
I feel like making this also made me improve on drawing people, so that's good!
My next big video I have planned is an OC PMV, then a BIG Bluestar PMV... I have 1 map part due soon, so keep an eye out for that!

What programs do you use? RoughAnimator and Clip Studio Paint (iPad Pro) for drawing/animation - Premiere Pro and After Effects for editing!
Can I use your stuff for a compilation/tribute? You're free to use my work in a tribute! But please don't use my work in compilations. Those videos actually harm animators by making the Youtube algorithm think that they're spamming the site, so please don't make them!Hollyleafs Lament PMV MAP Pt. 16Starcheopteryx2019-06-24 | My first storyboarded MAP part! It only took a few hours to do since it was really simple.

It's been done for a few weeks but I wanted to wait to upload it since it was a school project... When I get my grade back I'll let you know what I got!
So basically the project prompt was 'identity', everyone did pretty different stuff, and my stupid ass decided that I should make a 2 and half minute video in less than 2 months... Oof. Warriors has been pretty important to who I am as an artist- so I got the okay to make a Warriors video. Since it's for education purposes it falls under fair use so yaaaaaay.
That's why some bits look so rough, but I'm pretty proud with how it turned out over all!
The song is Pigeon, by Cavetown. I'm actually gong to a Cavetown/mxmtoon concert in December! I'm so excited. I really want to try and have more experiences rather than spend all my money on takeout... Cavetown is one of my favourite bands please go check him out! He loves his cat, unproblematic fave http://www.uk.cave.town/store I personally might get that lemon boy hat soon...we'll see... I don't look very good in hats...
I don't want to type out every piece of imagery because I think there's a lot of fun in having your own interpretations! I'd love to hear what you guys pick up!

I don’t have a whole lot to say, I did the art for it while I was house sitting for a week, then edited it together! I learned a lot from my last PMV part, so that’s good (especially since I have a PMV commission coming out soon!)
Right, so Pigeon is done! The guy running my course said I can upload it whenever I like, so I think I might upload it when I hit 1k subs? Just because I’m really close to it, and I want to space my content out so I’m not just uploading a lot for a little bit and then have a dry spell... If I AM getting into that animation degree, I wanna work really hard on my skills, and make content that I’m proud of.
Honestly, I forgot how nice it feels to not have a whole lot of subs? Like don’t get me wrong, I still wanna grow, but right now with less eyes on me, I feel so much less pressure than my last channel... I’m pretty happy that I moved to start fresh! I’m really thankful for the subs that followed me from there, and the new people that are subbing too!
I hope to do more MAP parts over the summer before school starts ^^

Anyway this is from the scene in my story where Pyro (spikey stripped wolf) tells Ayame to spar with Max

My other stuff doesn’t have deadlines soon... I never make memes when they’re actually popular, and I fucking love this song... So I thought I’d mess around in FlipaClip again! It was pretty fun!
So Max (small round one with the nose scar) got into a fight with Ayame (the most normal looking one) and lost, so his mom (with the giant face scar) tried to drown him cause she was pissed.
Trance (long fur and under eye spots) blames Ayame for Max’s disappearance and Ayame seems flippant about it. They had been training with Pyro (the spiked wolf with the eyebrows and the stripe down his back) and they had been getting very aggressive.
Max eventually shows up again, and there’s some complications that I won’t go into right now. But the end is his mom when she’s on her deathbed asking for forgiveness.

(It's gonna be followed by another one pretty soon, I also just finished a PMV part that's being edited right now!)
Flaws was straight up one of my favourite MAPs, I get chills everytime I watch it! When Shelbae announced the sequel MAP, I knew I HAD to try for a part!
I had a lot of trouble with this part, production wise. I had a very clear idea of the storyboard, but animating it gave me trouble. I restarted it about three times, because I just wasn't happy with how it was turning out! But then I started playing around with an angular style, which was faster to draw in and I kinda preferred the way it looked - so I managed to finish this in 3 days!
Also I wanted to try putting the character + fandom in the title like Sagutoyas does, cause I imagine it's easier to search for and it looks a lot better than just "Glass Part 6"
I'm sort of happy with how it turned out - I think it's probably the best part I've done in.. Maybe ever? Not a high bar though.

I've wanted to make this video for so long. I had about half of this animatic done for like a year, and I just haven't found the motivation to get back to it. Then I got the chance to make a video for my school project (about identity, which I'll talk more about in the final video), and I got the ok to work on this!
Also, this project is not going to get scrapped, it's a school project, so... I can't leave it unfinished! The actual animation is about halfway done, I've had this done for about 2-3 weeks.
