Given the fact that this project had little to no budget, an insanely short production window, and it was created entirely by students? I think we did an awesome job!
This was originally a series of short stories I wrote for class. After growing attached to the characters, I teamed up with two of my friends from Welcome to Dreamworld to bring the story to life! We launched a Kickstarter to raise the funds we’d need for the animation, hoping to earn minimum wage, and it completely flopped. Thus, we created a second Kickstarter to raise money for the audio instead, hoping to pay ourselves for the animation with any additional funds we made later. As soon as we secured funding, we picked up a few fellow art students to help with the animation, and we were off! The entire pilot was created in the span of roughly 3 months. This was because we could only afford to work on the project over summer break, since the majority of the team (including me) are students who needed to go back to school at the end of summer.
If anything, this pilot is a labor of love. I am incredibly proud of the team behind this project. While I don’t know what the future is for The Epilogue of Endings, I know this isn’t the last we’ll see of these characters… ____________________

These videos were commissioned for the Spellmania comics! The first animation was for a charity event we wanted to host. However, because animation takes time, these videos wound up complete much later than what was initially planned. I'm unable to host any events now that I'm back in school, but I still wanted to share these animations, so we decided to make this upload linked to a YouTube fundraiser! A list of additional fundraisers and resources will be provided beneath the credits.
Turn the Lights Off Animatic by Anonymous Created as a commission with the Spellmania comic characters
Show Fetty lots of love for being the comic’s collaborator and illustrator! instagram.com/feral.fettucclni ____________________
Before the fundraisers list, I want to take some time to thank all of the amazing artists who have made this story possible. Many of my Spellmania characters were purchased from fellow creators in the sparkle-dog community! If you want more sparkle-dog content, I highly encourage you to show these artists some love. Their work is really cool! ❤️❤️❤️
Special Thanks to Timefixers for the character designs of Solo, Noir, Telly, and Techy!
Special Thanks to Chersonese for the character designs of "Orlando" Dante, Victor, and Captain Previous! (Previous is a girl btw; trans lady)
I'd also like to thank all of the artists below! If you're a fan of sparkle-dog content, you should support these lovely folks:
90scat for the design of Wes
VERINE for the designs of King Plague, King Umbra, and Bloo Berry
Limezime for Victor's beautiful redesign
SQU1SHU for the design of Cinderskull
Steampunk for the design of Pez
Maffyu for the design of Jet
Catastrophyte for the design of Jekyll
If you have questions or concerns regarding any of the designs featured in Spellmania, reach out on Instagram or Twitter! I've spent the last 2-4 years working to resolve fandom conflicts from when I was younger, so I am more than happy to discuss old callouts.

Our team of heroes needs to solve the mystery of what happened between Elementals and Shapeshifters, and they need to do it quickly if they want to prevent a war! However, whenever they try to investigate this conspiracy, the King seems to get awfully quiet...
Special Thanks to Penstroke Pony for giving me permission to take inspiration from Past Sins and create my own Nyx! This webcomic is my love letter to the MLP fandom content that I grew up with, so she has quickly become a favorite character of mine. ____________________

This is a short to promote our pilot, The Epilogue of Endings!
⬇️ CHARACTER FACTS! ⬇️ - Blu and Mole will be meeting for the first time in the pilot, as Mole is the “weird hobo” that Lucy discovers living in the subway tunnels underground. - Mole has no memory of his life before the apocalypse, but he’s canonically bisexual! On the other hand, Blu is gay, has always been gay, and was definitely invited to the girls’ sleepovers because he was such a charismatic fellow.
Our team has been hard at work behind the scenes creating tons of layouts, rough animation, and finalizing our voice cast. This weekend, we officially begin cleanup animation! We can’t wait to share all of the amazing stuff our crew is making! 💥

Season 1 is everything that has occurred since the first stream on the server. It was very lore-focused, mostly planned ahead of time and staged like an elaborate theater series.
Season 2 will begin after the time loop arc ends, starting a new, much simpler story. These streams will be much more focused on improv and just playing Minecraft as a game, so any lore that happens will be less structured.
- Void and Halo are the two ghosts that share a body with Rain. Void was an entity created by the time loop, but he has now grown into his own identity as a person. Halo is the queen of The End and embodies the spirit of the next Ender Dragon, but she is usually dormant.
- Rain’s siblings are Bibble (older brother), Pada (younger brother), and Ghostie (older sister). Malibu is the brothers’ mother. Star is Rain’s son.
- Rain’s pets are Guy, Little Dude, and Snickerdoodle. Void’s pets are Eva and Blimbo.
- Rain is still Star’s father, and Void gets to have cool uncle privileges. Halo’s relationship with Star is unknown.
- Rain is now a single father! (Their relationship was pretty rough in Season 1 and Rain wanted to look after themself like Ghostie said they should) For additional boundaries about this topic, please see the disclaimer in Session 10 of Season 2!
- Please view Session 10 of Season 2 for a proper disclaimer about the lore of Season 1!

Man, YouTube treats animation content like shit, doesn't it? I was very respectful when I submitted an appeal, but apparently any colorful artwork is considered "for kids" unless I shove cursing in it. Thus, enjoy a tasteful F Bomb in solidarity with my fellow animators: FUCKImperial Artifice [ANIMATIC]Rainbott2023-11-18 | These characters are all from a personal project I’ve been writing with my best friend, Nettle, for well over a year by now. Imperial Artifice is my working title for the smaller stories and scenes I may write for this particular group of characters, usually focusing on Cain himself or his lore.
I’ve been too busy with Welcome to Dreamworld and college classes to get very much writing done for this project’s official adaptation, but we both still love to gush about our characters nonstop anyway. Even without any published material, many of these characters are very personal to me and have quickly become my favorites to write about or draw. Thus, I used this gang of misfits for a lot of my animation assignments and my storyboarding final!
If y’all would like to hear more about some of the characters, perhaps I shall find a way to share more artwork and lore from the project without spoiling the canon storyline… ____________________
