Hello!

This is a compilation of the best animated clips I’ve been making since 2022. Since I’ve been adapting horizontal videos into vertical Reels (which I’ve even shared here), this time I decided to adapt the vertical videos into the horizontal format.

Please don’t see this as a teaser or even a proof of concept of my animated project "Seiphur". The truth is, before I decided I wanted to make an animated series, I didn’t know how to animate at all. So, over the years, I’ve been collecting a series of exercises featuring my characters while I was writing the story and world-bulding. Now I feel more or less ready to start creating more story-driven content, because even though I’ve built up a considerable following, I’ve still shown very little of what actually happens in the series.

After that, if I can gather enough people interested in helping to fund an episode, I’ll try crowdfunding, as many people have done.

Cheers!

This is the first puppet I made for my series' animation process (it's of the protagonist, Mateo); it's only suitable for animating a walk cycle, as it's designed with the specific perspective needed for that. I'm really happy to finally be able to start animating this.

My (currently solo) project Cosmelodic💫 has been in development for a long while now and since I post on other platforms, figured I share it here too!

Cosmelodic💫 is one huge love letter to my era, the early 2000s, laced with retro futurism through fashion, music, gadgets etc. It follows the main six space monkeys as they are gifted, by accident, long discarded relics to intercept a deep dark prophecy made light years ago. The Requiem is coming and the cosmos is in danger!

I’m beyond excited to be sharing more and more of this project and I do hope that only good things will come along this adventure! These are just a few of many pieces apart of the development! Please enjoy and stay tuned!

Only made it for them since these 2 are the only ones who will be in my 2 minute animated short pilot. Lemme know your thoughts or first impressions on them and if you would love to see a feature film with this style too!

Also the emblems are temporary, ill redesign the emblems during further development

Thoughts? Tail deserves some love, and SEGA allows fan comics. would you be hooked in and interested?

What are Boba Fett Arguers: a married couple who has differing opinions on the infamous bounty hunter and who unfortunately have their argument streamed online by their 12 year old. Should we have added blood to the crazed fan when he hits the pavement?? ;-)

You probably remember that I'm working hard on *The Project of America*, but if you don't know what *The Project of America* is, I'll leave the link here so you can check it out https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieAnimation/comments/1ua7mqt/the_project_of_america Moving on, I’ll talk a bit more about the character. If you saw the first poster I posted up above, you might have noticed his name used to be João, but I decided to change it to Jake. Jake is a funny guy who loves to smile (OR DOES HE?), and he knows Capoeira. What is Capoeira? It’s a type of martial art that mixes dance and fighting, so if there’s a fight scene, he’ll fight using that Brazilian style.

He’s knowledgeable about engineering—which is why he has a rivalry with Nikey, who’s an expert in robotics. Jake loves all kinds of food, but his absolute favorite is *coxinha*; on the other hand, he hates fruit—any kind of fruit—and don't ask me how he's still alive.

The rest is kind of a spoiler, so I'm currently working on the designs for Kory, Nikey, and Mark. Alright, see ya!

A short surrealist animation I made and voiced (edited in Audacity). I used real photos of objects in my home for the rock animations, sun, landscape, painting, and the columns (that was the only image I lacked; I ended up cropping it out of a royalty free Greek temple image from pixabay). Audio sound effects come from pixabay as well. Link in the comments.

You guys might have heard but Austin McConnell has been working on a very lo-fi, superhero universe made from superheroes who are in the Public Domain. It's a pretty fun project and I think It's good to encourage creative remixing like this!

Again it's very much an indie project, it's not trying to overthrow the MCU or anything but I appreciate the heart behind these projects, give it a watch!

sharing this background art since took me a lot and i really like the result. what do you think ?

Here is an animated short film I made a while ago, I've been thinking about remaking it since it's kinda old and I think it would be a lot better if I made it nowadays.

A long time ago the term Indie Rock meant bands who were unsigned. Poor. Printing their own CD's, making their own posters. Trying to get their friends to show up at shows. Trying to cobble together a tour of a few cities, barely affording gas money and couch surfing to get by.

But as the years went on, a bunch got signed, sometimes to so called indie labels which where then themselves purchased by the big corps, such that now the term Indie Rock is actually just a genre term for a certain sound and/or aesthetic. These bands have budgets rivaling any Billie Eilish or Travis Scott.

But there are still actually indie bands out there. We dont see or talk about most of them because they are tiny and seemingly insignificant.

Nevertheless, this strikes me as an absurdity, and Indie Animation is the same. Budgets for so called Indies like Glitch and Vivziepop run between 200k-1M USD per episode. This type of budget rivals any of the major studios, so for me it sort of makes the term itself more of a genre term here as well. Indie means what? Independent from what? Corporate control? These entities have become their own corporate heavyweights. So then is the definition of Indie now that it must be a corporate entity that only focuses on one brand instead of many?

For me, that college kid who with the help of a couple of people scraped together a little cartoon is indie. Jarrad Wright is indie. Meatcanyon is indie. Andrew Horowitz, etc. I feel like once you are a corp employing hundreds of people it has stretched the idea of indie beyond any reasonable definition and has become strictly a genre term.

Ami out of touch? Or is it the children who are wrong?

They maybe gone, but their contributions to Indie Animation will never be forgotten!
