Animation Compilation '22 - '23

[@chuck_salamone]

Love this. I feel like all of this stuff is both unique/new, but has that familiar weirdness that your fanbase (including me) adore. A “whole-ass vibe” as they say. Can’t wait for musical manifestations to uhhhh…manifest. Proud of you and your work, captain.

[@virtuallylightblue]

you was prob the first one to see this bro wyd

[@FaithfulCalamari]

​@@virtuallylightblueShowing his support

[@Garlicbreadsupremacist631]

if its anything half as good as hylics 2, its not gonna leave my playlist until the release of half life 3

[@chuck_salamone]

@@virtuallylightblue yeah, but I don’t see it all touched up and mastered like this video.

[@Glassofass]

I like it when he makes them dance :)

[@nicktehnoob]

seeing some of the enemies from hylics 1 with animations puts a big smile on my face

[@madameoftheparadise5096]

Nice profile pic 🤘

[@bigboopus5059]

I'm absolutely enthralled. I want to wake up in a world of these creatures with this soundscape.

[@karagaaa]

enter hylics

[@trunkit8749]

Play Hylics, mason’s game.

[@kiplingbassil]

Are you fucking sure dude lmao I'd go absolutely insane 😂

[@J0hnHenrySNEEDen]

You'd have to be in a constant state of high to not go insane in the first few weeks

[@lethargicwizard]

Just drop some acid and listen to King Crimson, basically the next best thing

[@GetThePizza]

Hylics creatures are the peak of fever dream design ever. Somewhat unsettling yet serene at the same time.

[@logandunlap9156]

for some reason, the idea of Mason Lindroth taking like a few years of social media blackout, only to return with a feature length Hylics film or something of that nature sounds really fun

[@maraganger]

Aaah there's something about your style that just resonates so much with me. The way each model also pulsates under their careful animation, legit amazing work.

[@FJLivesAlone]

Creatures that, while alien and original, still are expressive and relatable, some of them I might even call a friend

[@TheGamedawg]

Noticing some Hylics 1 enemies in here. It's so cool to see how they probably would have looked in the H2 style.

[@TheNexDude]

The old hylics enemies in your new style is pure gold

[@thedoomprophet]

HYLICS 3?! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jestalt6442]

I don’t know if anyone has pointed this out, but this is some of the strangest yet most enthralling music I’ve ever heard. It’s so lonely and alien, while also being bittersweet and melancholic. It’s like attending a funeral on mars

[@jestalt6442]

Especially the bit at 1:01

[@concept8192]

have you ever had a dream where you just inexplicably know what it's about? It sounds like going to bed with clogged sinuses and having a dream about a casketless funeral full of people doing handstands and somersaults and juggling.

[@なぽりーぬ]

この人の作品は見たことがない世界を見せてくれるから本当に好き 素晴らしい世界観とデザインだ… 何度もここに来てしまう

[@nesssness3062]

I love how your art seems to invoke such a vague and abstract sense that these creatures are alive, but it's so incredibly uncanny that it really makes you question their sentience. Awesome work man.

[@danakroid7172]

Chuck does a great job with music, but I do miss your dreamy, alien-like audioscapes when you work solo. Great stuff.

[@squiddy1132]

Hylics 1 is probably my favorite game of all time, I'm so happy to see it's monsters get some love

[@BrickleYourFrickle]

I don't know the name of the technique, but I love that cross-sectional thing you did with a couple of these. I remember seeing some claymation stuff on... I think MTV or Liquid Television that used that technique, and I gotta say it's so cool, and I love your take on it. EDIT: Apparently it's called Strata-cut animation. I was thinking of the opening of MTV's Idiot Box.

[@IllusioNeil]

wonderful to see these all compiled in one place!!! adore the music as well!!

[@ohdahngboi_2237]

0:45 "hear me, all subjects of wayne"

-karen yeager

[@josh7302]

babe wake up new mason lindroth dropped

[@radicalfishstickstm8563]

I immediately wondered if this was the person that made hylics and I was right. Really unique art style, love your work

[@thesillyrandom]

his style is so distinct, bro, it's unreal!

[@jaguarflieger]

It reminds me of surrealism artists like Zdzisław Beksiński,david lynch,brothers quay or Jan Švankmajer. i really love your work!

[@standardizedshipping]

Im gonna have to check those guys out.

[@Minion_5516]

For someone who doesn't know about Hylics, this may even look scary! But for us, it's so beautiful and awakens so much hype for the 3rd Hylics game!

[@Suchomimus65]

At 0:42 I like that some of these characters look like fossil organisms; that’s practically an Odontogriphus on the left there. Really cool animation!

[@Buzz.co2]

Wayne de-evolution

[@cobalt-6747]

Great work all these animations are AMAZING!

[@toclotl]

its nice to hear synth music from you again!

[@lakiceae5900]

ur character designs remind me of sensibilities from the Codex Seraphinianus with how much detail is put into how each one moves and seems to function, and taking it to the next level, like they're on three planes of dimensions above or something or other. nostalgic is putting this all mildly

[@mistydayremainsofthejudgment]

your stuff always has a feeling of 70s surrealist scifi to me, very classic vibes but also so wild and out-there and shapes never seen before

[@standardizedshipping]

I especially get this vibe from the TV animations in the first game.

[@ametrime4754]

YAY MORE ART TO STUDY!!!! the way everything is shaded is so cool,im really trying to understand how its done and i got that theres always a black thin outline,sometimes used wholly,other times,with little dots,and then theres 2 subtones. Now i need to figure out how those are picked. Also bc theyre made of clay its a bit hard to replicate the smoothness of it,but for now its been fun learning,so thanks for that!

[@ametrime4754]

Next up ill have to learn how the animation is done but thats gonna be for later

[@Clipper-er2cf]

​@@ametrime4754 as of what Is known, this Are scanned clay models in blender

[@littlebigcomrade]

You’re doing what every artist dreams of doing, just staying true to yourself. You are truly a talented figure and have inspired me and likely many many others.

[@weholdparties]

Everything about these is so beyond gorgeous. I hope to be as half as skilled as you are someday. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@PandamaticBreakcore]

Wildly rad precambrian animal refs at 0:41

[@Clipper-er2cf]

Hallucigenia my beloved

[@themetalmario77]

Loved seeing these show up periodically on my timeline. How you managed to combine both claymation styles from the Hylics duology is beyond me, but it looks great

[@yggdrasilburnes]

People not recognizing Hylics is making me sad.

[@TommyTom21]

Everyone is recognizing Hylics

[@Will_Negs]

I love your work, Mason. You make me wish there was a catalog of all your animations in gif form. I don't even have a good use for them, I'd just like to have em because they're neat.

[@Mike14264]

You know what was the most surprising thing to me when I looked at the new models for the original Hylics enemies? I never realized the Monoops was meant to be a lady. The more you know.

[@fissomnia]

I love how the strata techniques are applied in your own work, everything looks amazing, thanks for such mesmerizing art!

[@InvadeNormandy]

I don't know if you enjoy dwelling on any one creation too long but seriously though, hylics was great and you knocked it out of the park with the second title. Congrats overall and I look forward to more creations I can interact with from ya someday.

[@lowpolyzoe]

Your work makes me feel things I only ever feel in dreams. Thank you

[@uhoh7545]

Moooom! Mr. Lindroth is showing me the clay MRIs again!

[@NoobPrime69]

I love the Hylics "creatures" desing, they are weird but not terrifying, very unreal and they had similar things to a human ,objects or insects. but in the same time the way that they move and how unreal is they body makes you feel weird(?), trying to assimilate what the hell is that and why he looks so similar to a human or a insect in some aspects, you dont even know if they are a threat or not, they are just walking over there making weird moves, almost like creatures or humans from another dimension, amazing work.

[@Dragon_named]

Nah to me this is extremely relaxing

[@NoobPrime69]

​​​@@Dragon_named The vídeo is very relaxing ngl, but am talking about the desing of the creatures, not the vídeo, just imagine walking in a forest and see one of those creatures, weird asf.

[@waterPsychiatrist]

I love everything about your work, from the visuals to the music, thank you so much for existing Mr. Lindroth

[@DaMojoCat]

Amazing animations and synth music! It's super cool to see the stratacut that looks like a diving fish composited into the style now. 1:01 Lullaby is in tears, aww my poor dude...

[@mileidyclass]

Reminds me of the game Hylics. Edit: Nevermind. I just found out this is the guy who made it. Makes sense it'd remind me of it then. Lol

[@HeitorIkedaTioBa]

I love the strata cuts so much please never quit art dude 🥺✨ the world needs more of your work.

[@jestalt6442]

Your work has to be one of my biggest sources of inspiration. It’s mind melting to look at. Keep up the good work!

[@Cegarth]

Really worried on how the new Unity fee thing will affect Mason's new game. Really hate how John Riccitiello and IronSource only thought about money rather than the myriad of indie games being made in their engine.

[@BobbinRobbin777]

Same. Hope they can all pull through.

[@Garlicbreadsupremacist631]

Maybe mason will open a patreon or launch a kickstarter?

[@CriticalCrazy]

I like the imposing ones that walk towards you

[@alpine6610]

Oh wait a sec, those first few enemies were from hylics 1! I recognise the cone lads from anywhere!

[@scootermcpeanuts6699]

0:43 no way halucigenia Wayne? In all seriousness these are absolutely stunning.

[@justincase5002]

i knew someone recognized that

[@wayne_._]

Mason, your work is truly unsettling, beautiful and awesome all at the same time. I take great inspiration from your works of art, and seeing more be on display brings me joy! I cannot wait for the third instalment to come out.

[@JanusHoW]

I could see all of these guys being mid-to-endgame foes in a quirky-but-horrifying, Earthbound-esque RPG. Edit: Never mind. They ARE foes from a quirky-but-horrifying, Earthbound-esque RPG.

[@himalayantongue]

you should check out the games he made, Hylics and Hylics 2.

[@zeaxanthinepoxidase]

lmao

[@GetThePizza]

Mason's animations is like looking into a petri dish with a microscope and seeing the bacteria waving back at you

[@pufrmel]

Lullaby protagonist my beloved

[@AuntBibby]

if a big spaceship landed on the white house lawn then i could imagine these animations steppin outta the ship, they look alien enough

[@zeaxanthinepoxidase]

there literally is a spaceship in the first game

[@mrcheesei8753]

Can’t wait for hylics 3

[@ansuz5903]

You could be an amazing horror artist if you wanted to. Some of these look like they come straight out of Hell. I love them

[@silverish9081]

Beautiful combination of crispy retro graphics and organic shapes and soft movement. Loved the cross-sections too - evokes an image of a lab researching alien biology. Really cool work!

[@ViLLA1NYyy]

These undulations, flagellations, and gyrations have me incredibly stoked.

[@foriarez944]

There is something about the colors and textures of these designs that remind me of my childhood, but i don't know why, i can't exactly pinpoint what is it that they remind me of, maybe a graffiti i saw in one street near my childhood home, i don't know, anyway, they feel alien and at the same time close to home, calming and unnerving, i can't explain it.

[@Monkeyman249]

Never found this channel before but I saw just the thumbnail and instantly figured that you must be the animator for Hylics, lol. It’s a distinctive style!

[@Clipper-er2cf]

Creator*

[@Buzz.co2]

Observing the odd fellows captured in this piece of video is like taking deep sea fish and artifacts out of the water and watching them dry up. Things may move in odd ways, but they still look reasonable.

[@yochlel2642]

There's something very calming about seeing these surreal, dreamlike designs in motion, especially when you do such a good job at making their movements feel natural!

[@cyberblades.404_error_codeX]

This is what seeing an angel might feel like

[@charlag]

this made me reflect a lot on whether and why I like to make uncanny things and how far I am actually willing to go with it, thank you

[@DangerousMuteLunatic]

This is like the opposite of a baby sensory video.

[@dingusjoe7974]

Adult Deprivation

[@NeoNovastar]

Wow. Those stratocuts are gorgeous. Love seeing the Hylics 1 enemies in motion! The music is also lovely and mesmerising. I just adore your work Mason, there's nothing quite like it.

[@AsgarMaat]

This what earthbound enemies would look like if they were animated.

[@swampwaffle74]

I would love for this to be a remaster of hylics 1 or a continuation of the second one.

[@The_Practical_Daydreamer]

It seems Odozier is sending a girl from his own species in a mission. Maybe to the Hylics 1 area?

[@tsawy6]

Hylics 3 is confirmed

[@frankodubo3595]

NICE animations and DOPE track

[@suiryu6005]

やばあああい❤❤かわいい〜〜‼︎すごいすごい😭めちゃくちゃかわいい🥰初代(hylics)の良さがちゃんと入ってて素晴らしい

[@thewholecircus2792]

I still think about Wayne sometimes

[@lukeydoo]

I love how charming and distinct this style is. Every second is just very pleasing to watch.

[@AbandonedVoid]

I am sure you receive this frequently, however, I think it bears mentioning that your work is positively mesmerizing

[@darrelsam419]

I love Hylics and Hylics 2. I'm so happy to see more of your claymation and music. All of these animations look amazing and the music is surreal and chill.

[@chair-kun6003]

They're all amazing. Can't wait to see the Cone Cult come back

[@Jeffreyhobbs01]

just wow your style here is incredible. love your animations and sound design and thank you for blessing us with hylics 1 and 2

[@PGrayOfficial]

You can really tell Hylics is this guy’s passion and I love that

[@pokehybridtrainer]

This is so darned bizarre. Is that Odozeir trying to be reconstituted in a darned mess? Sick.

[@Galatheam]

Might I also add that I adore the one at 2:07 dragging its head on the ground. From now on Imma do the same.

[@pleasedontwastefood]

Your work and aesthetics always made me feel a certain way. I can't explain it. Same way I feel about old x-ray photos, brutalist buildings, great distances, 3am tv static. It's like uncanny, alien and almost hostile, but at the same time-- familiar and nostalgic.

[@kanze4056]

この人の世界観は別次元すぎる、大好き…

[@oxitajotlesmith563]

one day we need an artbook of all these amazing creations!

[@grogg4372]

This is so dope. The animations have become smoother and as always your mind is an endless well of creativity and inspiration, Mason. My favourite creature was the middle one at 00:54. I also really like the Gibby- and Wayne-like creatures. For some reason this collection of animations make me think of the theme of decay. If some of these are tied to a next project, I wonder what the theme will be?

[@meteormeadow64]

I love all of this! The music is also delightfully chill lol

[@clownimpregnator]

I really like the Fleshzeir! He looks both upset AND upsetting!

[@cookiepig1038]

Hylics would shake me to my fucking core if it weren’t so funny in its writing

[@S_For_Sprinkles]

Real cool stuff, Looking forward to seeing your future works!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I played Muldulamulom today and I was surprised how much of it went into the "Xeno Arcadia" sections of Hylics 2. I actually really like that it's a callback for those who know about it but also a really cool and original sidescroller for those who haven't played it yet.

[@gaemr_o5147]

I’ve gotta say, you’re definitely one of my favorite artists of the 21st century

[@Jourlik]

he who does not have mouth - speaketh not he who lacks eyes - bothers not to witness he who has false gland - motionless on friday share subcsrive

[@largochain4202]

man what happened to odozier, he looks like he is on life support.

[@probpob4155]

i love seeing these clay thangs just bust a move like hell YES ur killing it

[@agent7859]

did NOT expect non twitter animations. wonderful works im fucking hyped for whats in store later on :)

[@maniacalmint]

Goal is to make a billion dollars so I can give it all to this guy for a hylics feature length film

[@dfquartzidn6151]

I would cry tears of happiness if a Hylics movie can be released on theatres

[@Childconsumer72]

THESE ANIMATIONS ARE AWESOME, the wayne creature with spikes on its back is so cool! definitely excited to see more!

[@nmk5624]

the 3 characters at 0:54 are absolutely surreal to see in motion, fantastic job on this overall but holy hell the motion of those feathers combined with the small moving details of the other two figures comes together to look incredibly impressive

[@kevinmathewson4272]

2:18 the part that looks like a CAT scan is really cool

[@SonicPman]

good ol volumetrics

[@BlendyBoii]

This did a great job of creating a rapidly expanding/shrinking void inside my brain and then filling it in with things I cannot comprehend. Well done!

[@DaCaptainDerpy]

Man I just love watching your animations. It's haunting, soothing, and beautiful all at once. The music also does a phenomenal job helping to express this!

[@dizzyD1199]

this guy is an artistic genius. might dare to say ahead of his time, even.
