Wow it’s cool to see you here

U know what I can't believe? The fact that U AREN'T VERIFIED YET lmao

[@flunkskunk]

Same thing was happening to me in regards to Clone High, like the retro rerun would just not go away. At that point I just caved, and it was well worth it!!

[@lexcol]

same haha

[@6runo_123]

same, i cant believe i ignored clone high for so long

[@sagerinii]

bro so many good animated shows, i’ve been binging Kipo

[@dirtytoilet8551]

Is it worth watching? I'm planning to watch it but i dunno.

[@sagerinii]

Jenna ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽ oh for sure i really like it, the art and music is beautiful as well

[@kennedy5540]

Jenna ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽ I’m unable to watch it cause my parents wouldn’t approve but from as far as I was able to ITS A REALLY GOOD SHOW! You should totally watch it!

@@kennedy5540 I will, also why wouldn't they let you watch it? Is it graphic?

[@johnmobley9369]

Recommendations - I’ve either recently discovered the shows she’s mentioned in this video where I grew up with them we have like them for a while now and it really just inspired me to steer people in the direction of shows that I am well acquainted with the others may not be so well acquainted with or shows that have just started that you can start watching with me. I definitely recommended all of the mentioned shows in this video but here are a few more. • shera • avatar the last airbender • kipo • Scooby doo incorporated • teen titans • symbiotic titan • infinity train • Rapunzel‘s tangled adventure

[@squidpedia8682]

Yes all those shows are awesome ^^ Also infinity train was already done in this video, sorry just wanted to point that out

[@cassylk22]

ngl infinity train style is kinda hot

[@cry_stalll]

i know right 👀 (sry abt the late reply lol)

[@remynisce.]

I don’t really get why you didn’t like the OTGW drawing, I thought you matched the style perfectly! It’s my favorite out of all of them next to infinity train.

[@Fawndolyn]

Last couple of episodes in Midnight Gospel were major tearjerkers in quick moments. I’m worried Infinity Train won’t get renewed due to viewership.

[@Qwerty56710]

I’m so glad you included over the garden wall because a lot of people have forgotten about that show since it aired :””)

[@castledead45]

they really havent

[@pissapocalypse]

I try to watch it everytime October rolls around

[@Chirp331]

I rewatch it every year 😅

[@darkx6869]

Cause it only airs in fall

[@bl0mmi3tji3]

did anyone else get excited when Anya said she shipped lumity.... no? just me? okay... p.s. love ur videos, ur art is amazing and cures my art block every time I see them

[@lexiconjures]

Its always exciting to see a Lumity fan, you are not alone

[@unfortunatelyriley7564]

I legit clicked this video because I saw the Owl House style drawing in the thumbnail 👌

[@franklyfrankie528]

@@unfortunatelyriley7564 SAME HERE. literally thought it was Jerbo.

[@johnmobley9369]

Don’t get mad about infinity train because adventure time had explored a very similar idea and one of the episodes so don’t feel afraid to still carry on with the idea like as long as it’s uniquely yours and you do something interesting with that I don’t think anybody would have a problem. I’m definitely liking niko btw. And I’m not gonna spoil anything but the character that really couldn’t be redeemed was extremely interesting like I have more animated TV shows try to explore characters like them

[@Meppity]

Owen Denis (creator of infinity train) worked on that episode of adventure time! The concept also existed in a recent episode of Rick and Morty. At this point I’m happy with the idea my story changed to so no worries! I’ve grown to love my own concept more ☺️

[@zedc6072]

I love how nonsensical and unpracitcal your OC looks in the hazbin hotel style, its perfect

[@captainhugs2188]

The Hazbin Hotel one is really good, you certainly redeemed yourself haha!

[@LytzyBitzySpider]

I love how you said you gave Nico and other character your color of eyes Because it reminds me of how I give my main 2 characters a cleft ear just like how I have one I like to phrase it as "puting a little bit of myself into them"

[@occudo2567]

Omg the amount of salt with the hazbin hotel one was perfect

[@Meppity]

;)

[@imtiredpleasego8687]

The Clone High style gives me total drama vibes

[@shazadkurdy4261]

[@LittleDogTobi]

I really shouldn't be watching this when I have class in an hour, but I have to. Your work is amazing and inspires me to work harder at my own art.

[@charlysydow5647]

This is the fastest youtube had ever recommended me a video. Love your content ❤

[@JellyGraphedofficialpage]

it's insane how well you follow the shapes and lineart of each style

[@evanmalone6205]

You did the Over the Garden Wall art style justice! I picked it out immediately just by looking at the thumbnail!! I watched both your art style videos and I loved them so much! You are such an amazing artist and I can’t wait to see where your OCs end up next!

[@_j3657]

I've been binge watching the owl house recently too😂 You are a true artist, always experimenting :)

[@mslightbulb]

As a 17 yo I approve of this character.

[@imclueless5744]

I'm already really invested in Niko's story

[@Meppity]

I’m glad! I hope to do more with him and my other OCs soon!

[@AnaisStAmant]

I love these! Plus your narration is so pleasant to listen to :D

[@manicpix2647]

The OTGW style one is just so adorable and well done I love it so much!!

[@denisa7363]

Very cool!!! But honestly i liked tom better as a name for this character

[@CherriNGT]

I screamed when you included Regular Show, it’s my *second* favorite show EVER! IMO, it’s artstyle looks simulair to Rick and Morty because of the noodle arms, legs and eyes.

[@sskelstah]

This is so lovely!! You do these so well!!!

[@claytongriffith8323]

During the intro I guess each of the art styles by looking and I got them all right. So I'd say you're great at recreating the styles and I'm pretty good at recognizing styles

[@silysister4815]

The fact that I knew every style in the thumbnail expect mid night gospel without even watching the video shows me how much of a cartoon nerd I am, also great job on the styles, I think you nailed it and also you improved so much! I can’t wait to see what else you make, good job! 👍

[@user-ju4by7lp4y]

when you said your characters represent the things you hate about yourself and other people I choked on my cinnamon latte bc my concept-universe shares almost the same idea! was a little surprised and frustrated at first, but now I see why it can be a popular direction for storytelling. it's like sublimation while subliming. - - - - - - - - - - - - aaaand I'm also of Russian decent :^) still weirds me out when I find out my favourite artists/illustrators are actually slavic or somewhere near that..

[@televisionkid7783]

:0 your oc looks so natural in all of the styles! great job :D

[@Encrypted-Name]

The Clone High boom was genuinely suprising to me because I watched it before 2020 and all the JFK memes came out of nowhere to me. You did a great job! I love your style and seeing you try other ones is very interesting.

[@yoonaslanda4381]

I love how much effort you put into every video you make, and you draw more than just one thing.❤️

[@crystaljam9661]

Man you NAILED all these styles!!

[@lexiconjures]

What a great idea, Art Style Challenge Quarantine addition! I might just steal that idea... I don' think I've seen anyone include Owl House or the other more recently (amazing) Disney shows. Great work! I love your takes on these styles here. And I like your more graphic fabric folds (I hope that isn't weird to say😅 )

[@Cinedragon]

Subscribed! I really like the videos I have been seeing. Great job!

[@flippmint9931]

[@dariarotaru6998]

[@girlwithbluebangs4641]

Wow the way you drew your character in those styles are so accurate I could tell which style belonged to which show!

[@spudzzz]

These vids always help me get out of art regression, thank you ❤

[@rrendre4138]

The OTG style has to be my favorite one here . The emotion feels more natural and even fits with the show itself , along with the colors !! 🙂🙂Even the silhouette has a sense of flow to it which i personally love to see . This actually inspired me to draw some more OTG stuff haha

[@loustvre]

Im a simple person... i see an interesting video with the owl house and amphibia, i click

[@franklyfrankie528]

[@musicallyartisticjen2778]

This is beautiful. Everything. Like there wasn't a single drawing that I didn't enjoy, which is super rare for me

[@NguyenNguyen-bb7jt]

yessss been waiting for ur video for so long!!

[@jazzwell]

My favorites are your style, Over the Garden Wall, and Infinity Train - in that order. I don't get why you didn't like the OTGW one, I really loved it! But to each their own :) I was really jarred when you started calling the character Niko cuz I was sure his name was Tom, but I'm glad you explained yourself quickly haha. I definitely think Niko is a more unique and better name, but I feel like it'll take a while to get used to it. Is his full name now Niko Bluejay, or does he have a different surname?

[@Meppity]

haha thanks! I'm still getting used to Niko too - had to rerecord a few sentences from habitual slips. As for the last name. I haven't decided yet. I have no alternatives so I'd stick with Bluejay for now :)

[@veliciaes1476]

literally could not stop giggling at the bonus clone high one (BTW all of this are dead spot on)

[@sopaesapos]

I've never seen the midnight gospel but omg I loved this drawing so much it really caught my eye on the thumbnail and yours is also really pretty!! love this video it was great fount of inspiration 💜💜✨

[@carolw3816]

Yess the owl house is amazing!(and so are your videos)

[@akiraohalloran]

I feel like you got all of them accurate except for hazbin hotel. As someone who obsesses over Vivian's art I've noticed that the line art (at least in the pilot) has different colours. The line art is also a bit to sharp on the tail and the overall colour skeem looks off. But I think you got the eyes fairly accurate!

[@buddyboi7007]

I think she did that as a joke tho

[@akiraohalloran]

@@buddyboi7007 I'm quite confused on weather that's true or not. On one hand she said "I want to redeem myself" for the style. But than another comment said "the salt is real on the hazbin hotel one" witch she replied with a ";)". So I don't know what to think😅

I remember growing up I would always see things about Chloe hi but I would never actually watch it it just didn’t really occur to me that I care but you know retro rerun came in the clutch and i realized I was missing out

[@andrechris-sargent9921]

9 months later, I apologize for the slow response as it's taken me quite a bit to really formulate my opinion on this Hazbin thing. Dave Cunningham, creative director of Spongebob Squarepants, told us in an impromptu interview for Lbox Expo that one of the most important things an artist can do is to stay humble and be workable. As an artist myself, someone educated in shape language, who's a fan of your work, and interested in seeing your contributions to animation, I find your constant pokes towards Hazbin Hotel leave a sour taste in my mouth. It goes beyond constructive feedback, to a point of condescension. While your comments are objectively correct *in consideration* of the industry standard of design, Art is an intrinsically selfish and expressive endeavor, and no artist is required to conform to the standard. God knows Gustav Klimt didn't. Just in the same way to provide fairness to you, you have complete right to ignore this comment altogether, and not pay attention to me for your own reasons. I would, however, urge that you just see Hazbin, say "That's not for me", and move on. Your attitude towards it is unpleasant. I hope you find great success in your work.

[@peppridgefarmremembers7137]

Omg, yes thank u! She sounds so childish. It's ok not to like something, you don't even need to justify it, but it's weird and annoying to keep bringing it up to make yourself look better. I'm trying to enjoy the styles and commentary and then that🙄
