Hot milk meme
updated
This showreel is a compilation of my best stuff (in my opinion) from recent years. I do wish I could have done more and see the peak of what I'm really capable of (a limit I do not yet think I have shown yet), but I did my best despite my less than ideal circumstances.
At the moment I'm hopeful to say that I'm making progress in terms of figuring out my future and how I can live with my disabilities. Once I feel stable and have made enough progress with healing, I hope that I can join the animation industry and fulfil my dream of creating animated music videos and other animated projects :) Wish me luck!
(btw there's some animation from a meme I started a while ago but haven't managed to finish yet. I hope to finish it at some point though, so maybe keep an eye out for it eheh)

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!

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!

Nym and Larkin set out on a journey together to find a mysterious flower, only to be caught by surprise.

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.
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!

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)

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.
