Cosmohedron | Animated Short

[@greebo4446]

This feels like an animation that you'd see on Adult Swim at 3am. The acid-trip style and overall vibe is really reminiscent of a lot of different artists they've featured. Absolutely can't wait to see what you put out in the future.

So early? Huh

[@sonnyobrien]

Why is it a rare gift exactly…? Doesnt make you special at all, or early for anything important. Its not like you are in queue for anything important or in line awaiting special treatment. Why, exactly do you think that it is? Or did you just write your idea out blindly without thinking? Your hyperbole exaggerates a lie. So why not just say in plain terms that you enjoyed the video? Why the extra unnecessary nonsense about BEING EARLY and RARE GIFTS. This feeds into terrible social media nonsense. Speak HONESTLY.

You should be very proud of yourselves. You have produced something truly incredible. You guys really have some talent here. I hope that we all get to see some more content from you in the near future.

[@rfwhyte]

Fantastic work, an utterly enjoyable ride from start to finish. Reminds me a bit of Felix Colgrave, which should be taken as high praise, and I think I detect a hint of perhaps some Moebius inspiration in the creatures, so I'm a big fan of the overall aesthetic. The music and sound design were excellent throughout as well. Stoked to be your only 16th sub, as I reckon if you can keep putting stuff like this out, you'll have a heck of a lot more subscribers soon enough!

What the fuck how the fuck does this not have more fucking views are you fucking kidding me this is ridiculous. This has to be one of the most entertaining, mind melting, universe altering, peace of moving pictures. I can’t believe that this doesn’t have more recognition in the greater animation community. Now, I am aware that I am over praising this piece of animation (mostly because I am a sucker for psychedelic imagery and honestly I would’ve preferred just a piece of animation that is nothing but surrealist, abstract patterns) but the shit still is pretty good. I love the use of humor and the seemingly unconnected series of events. And the twist at the end wear it combines all the parts together. The humor as a whole is pretty quality but personally I’m not the largest fan of the adult swim ask mentality of surrealist/absurdist humor. Except I didn’t necessarily mind it in this piece. Overall fantastic work and I am highly disappointed that this does not have more attention.
