I remember playing many Mario and Sonic Flash games in my youth, Stickman games, Assassin games, Megaman games, the list could go on and on that I can't even remember much of 'em.
I'm an aspiring artist and beginner animator. Programming and music isn't my forte, but I'm trying to learn 'em.
My main inspirations are PhantomArcade, ninjamuffin99, evilsk8r, SrPelo, the man himself Tom Fulp, Video Games Directors Cut (RIP), BlackDevilX (RIP), Egoraptor, MindChamber and many creators of Flash games and movies I can't remember cuz it's too many or just far gone on my head. Shouting out to them!

Hope I'm cool, I'm just soo mid still with my drawings, just drawing my characters and no ideas on other characters. Hlep! ;w;

Really cool designs and character concepts :D I really love styles like this, they reminds me of nostalgic cartoon series for some reason ^-^ And your characters seem well defined in their own universes. Perhaps an epic comic could be in the works o.o They are daunting as heck, but are a great way to practice more poses and expand personalities ^o^
Definitely cool! :D


Thank you sooo much for the kind words! Yes, I'm writing a story based on these characters as time marches on in a little .docx file, plus I had some help on turning into a game by 53xy83457, but now it's going in slow production and the need of people especially programmers is a must. Anyways, I've never done much animation because it takes time and effort, and the primer is something I sometimes don't have, so I resort to drawing illustrations of my characters in my free time.

I wish it to be a full-on animated series and game franchise at least, but I don't have the personnel to help me. What shame... So much potential.


Maybe I can post one day the story on the writing forum when I finish it.

To choose a handful of artists I really love on this site, ithey'd probably be..........


Xandrecos has some of the most unique style/ sense of humour I've seen out of any online-animator person ever, it's just so fun to watch his cartoons lol


something about Carmine3's art really stands out to me as well, I think their rendering is super strong as well as their thin lineart and sketchy style


Magibauble is also dope as hell, really love his animations especially his timing/sense of depth in character acting and grating simulator is awesome


Aaron Long is probably one of the most inspirational animators out there to me at least, really love his loose aniamtion style and his character acting is out of this world


Tofokyo is another awesome animator who I have a lot of respect for and everything he makes just oozes charm and is super sleek, i cannot wait to see more of his projects


also noo-dll makes crazy awesome art like their linework is just so lively and has a good sense of volume to everything, also the way they color&render is right up my alley too


finally SockDotClip is another super cool artist who can draw in so many different styles that i'm always amazed to see whatever they draw, also i love their character designs and their animation abilities is super impressive too

Cool idea!

Okay, I'll just go over some of my favorite artists whose art I really enjoy seeing in my feed.


Goldie Silverman: Mostly pencil drawings. A very inspired and inspiring artist, I'm in love with the posing, detail, anatomy and expressions they employ in their comics and concepts. Very creative, and often pretty funny.

Roanimations: A toony and very dynamic style. His stuff really shines with his rendering/blending technique, sometimes with unique and interesting color choices. All around fun.iu_1376999_7550613.webp


SanstrongStyles: This guy tackles many styles in his pieces, and they all go hard! My personal favorites are the more fluid ones as opposed to the grittier portraits, but they're all great. Maybe you'll have a favorite style too.

iu_1377000_7550613.webp


KornArt: A front-page regular, and for good reason. This guy just makes some of the most gorgeous fanart, and at a pretty frequent pace too.

iu_1377001_7550613.webp


MateusBoga: I love this artist's style, especially some of his "chunky" linework. I personally dig some the character designs and atmosphere of some of his pieces.

iu_1377002_7550613.webp


Rotze: A very appealing art style. Anime-inspired with thick, varying linework and cel-shaded vibrant colors culminates into sharp and striking pieces that demand your attention.

That was a lot, but I have even more on my favorites page. There's just too much awesome content!

It is amazing! ^o^ You are very talented, passionate and considerate of the art you make. To have so much detail, expression and personality in all your works is a tough feat! You deserve all the support and recognition! :D

An awesome collection! ^o^ Really love seeing the skill in many of the animations shown here. The Tank Tribune mentioned last week the idea of a short film from here making it to the Oscars. I definitely think it'd be possible one day ^o^

Thank you so much for sharing! :D

I love @Tyhond, since he does really good, and he likes giving attention to the undiscovered artists like me:



@Ducksen also makes good art, I wished he uploaded more often. Heck he inspired me to make a claymation with on purpose shitty animation, although I have yet to do THAT.

I just love his OCs.
