WOOHOO!! First Burn came out AMAZING and was SO fun to do! So-- let's do another one! First Burn was storyboarded, so this time I wanted to do something a little bit looser, a little more freeform. The deadline is shorter, but you have a lot more freedom to do whatever you feel like.
You may feel like this is an odd song choice, but-- I think it's a bop! it is SO catchy. Megalovania truly cannot be ruined. It just felt right.

I started this project over a year ago. It's been a very long process. The entire thing was made by two people, me and Ashanimus. All of the animation is by me, and the backgrounds and music are done by them.
This video is about my Owl House OC, Jasper. He is the Golden Guard that preceeds Hunter, Darius' mentor. Unlike Hunter, he is aware he is a Grimwalker and was created as a fully formed adult. He knows that he is a servant, and knows that he will be replaced- because it's his job to grow his replacement. To grow Hunter.
He's significantly more indoctrinated and brainwashed than Hunter is, but like all the other Grimwalkers before him, he eventually turns. Upon discovering the Graveyard he realizes the true depth of Belos' evil and decides to run away-
But he can't leave Hunter behind.
Another part of this collab is a full audiobook of my fanfic about him by Idlescree! I'm incredibly proud of this story and I hope that after watching this, if you enjoyed it, you'll give it a listen! I think it came out amazingly.
This has been a labour of love and passion for a long time now. It has some of the most complex animation I've ever attempted, and it's definitely the biggest project I've ever done. I am extremely proud of it.
I am also posting it today because it is my birthday! This entire project was very personal to me, and finishing it by my birthday was a gift to myself, to meet this deadline. It is also just about the anniversary of Thanks to Them, which is delightful.

It's been a long time since I've run one, but I miss it very much. I love creating collaborative content with others and I love organizing big projects like this. I find it so fulfilling to finish them! Felicide is a story I've felt would make a great MAP since I originally debuted it, and I've gotten a lot of positive feedback whenever I've suggested it. Today, it's happening! It's fully storyboarded, it's a great song, and I hope you all will enjoy the final product very much. If everything goes off without a hitch... well, I've got more MAP ideas I'd love to do in the future!

It's a reanimate project of a song from Balto 2, Who You Really Are.

HELLO EVERYONE, I absolutely adore this cover of Bo Burnham's incredible "Art is Dead." As you may know if you've seen some of my other big videos this year, I've really been grappling with what it means to be an artist, and a content creator, and what it means to make art for a living. With this video I wanted to illustrate the struggle between myself, my past self, and the persona I play as an artist. I hope you enjoy!
Art is Dead - Music originally by Bo Burnham, covered by Billy Zindale youtube.com/watch?v=jrCWH6YlCto I beg of you to check out the original video for this song, I'm in love with this track and it never got the attention it deserved. I hope I did it justice.
ayyyyy its these dummies again. tldr for the "whats going on here" folks, theyre adopted siblings and the older one went missing when he was seventeen and the younger one never stopped looking for him. fifteen years later he finds him.
hello everyone!! ive never done this before, but when i work on stuff i export a lot of wips to check my timing and everything and to show my friends. this time, I thought it would be a fun idea to save all of them and put them together as a process video- you can see what each wip looks like in order (top left being first, top right second, bottom left third, and bottom right fourth) and the changes or decisions I made. You can also see I didn't finished the storyboard before I started animating, and I didn't do the storyboard in order! I do that a lot, because i have a shot or a scene in mind and I know what it will look like, i will skip to it because I'm excited to work on it. then i'll go back and do the other parts when i feel like it.

boy oh boy it sure is isnt it LOL. 191 parts for multi animator projects since I started doing them. I haven't done many for awhile, but I'd like to start again! I love collaborative projects, working with others to make big stuff... we'll see. Anyway, happy holidays! I hope you don't mind the music, as yall may recall I've had some health issues recently and I don't really do sponsorships, so... In any case, these are in order of when I did them! So the order does not actually match when i POSTED them, because I have many many times posted things way after I actually did them, you know, cuz I use a schedule and all that. so you can really follow The Journey here. I also picked out, i think, some REAL jams to enjoy during it, my favourite NCS releases mostly. ❤️

It looks amazing!!!! :D Plushie drop is coming really soon, not quite in time for the holidays, but I'll have an in-hand prototype soon to show you in more detail! I hope you guys are as HYPE as I am, cuz trust me, I am HYPE!
You've all shown an incredible response signing up for the mailing list to be alerted when my plushies go on sale, and I want to thank you SO MUCH for all the support!!! As an independent artist, youtube and merch is my only source of income and every ounce of support you give me is what allows me to keep making content for free for everyone to enjoy. I am eternally grateful!!
As much as I love Ken ashcorp's original version of this song, i also truly ADORE PrinceWhateverer's amazing cover. my guy is so underrated honestly, he has so many incredible tracks I listen to constantly LOL. So I elected to use his today and I think you should go give him a look and a listen too if you like this. 👀
Finally, the meme for this song is a fairly simple one, with some loops and stuff, but its only half the song- but the second half is basically the same as the first half, repeated, and I was like, well, why cut it up if it doesn't really need much extra animation? I can just do a little more editing and make a video for the whole song! You guys really enjoyed that little dancing cat animation I did when I looped it for like five minutes, which was requested a bunch lol, so I was like hey, I bet people would enjoy a longer video if I loop this stuff to cover the whole thing! So thats what I did and I think its super fun even if its a relatively simple video compared to some of my others which feature shorter and more complex animation, its like, a different vibe, you know! But this fits the vibe of the song really well. Super happy with it.
