Echidna: Of Fates and Choices | Homestuck Animation

[@Ichellor]

I apologize for such a long abcense, I took a small break for animating, but here I am again. Videos will come out in more timely manner again now. Decided to "experiment" with a bit more complex visual style and narrative structure of video in this animation. Thank you for viewing!

[@higztv1166]

I want to appreciate the fact that you actually care and want to explore all these more serious parts of homestuck lore I mean, it's pretty rare, most of what the fandom does is just memes, and when someone talks about the lore it's usually something about this fourth-wall breaking meta stuff from the later parts what you do is very refreshing and I need this

[@badpunking1883]

Can I just say how much I loved that Dave froze time to get an edge on Jack but it didn't work because Jack's first guardian powers allowed him to bend space to move even if his body itself was still frozen Using space manipulation to counteract time fuckery is an idea I've enjoyed for years but I've never actually seen it done before despite how much sense it makes. What does it matter if time is frozen still if you can still teleport into any position spatial position independently of conventional movement? The only thing stopping you is whether or not you can still perceive and process information in frozen time.

It was an honor to bring Echidna to life! Shame that Hussie never did much with the denizens in Homestuck, so it’s nice to see them get more representation! 🩵

[@sebigrell]

What a legend

[@alexeyvolkov7590]

It was good animation, but I am amazed the most by Echidna dialog. It's so much how Denizens could communicate, and she discuss the topic of free will in Homestuck the way that I like. The future causes events in present, but you still have free will. And because of that you can make the Choice.

[@JohnVance]

I LOVE the mad god vibes!! It's been so long since I've read the comic that I kinda forgot that Echidna had a self-preservation interest in Jade taking all the planets to the new session. Homestuck has LAYERS y'all.

[@Siphyr]

wow you did such a great job with this..cause I think homestuck does kind of fail to capitalise on the atmosphere it builds up sometimes, but here you brought it out really well

[@Frostbitew]

I grew up reading Homestuck from late teens to early young adulthood, happily looking to my phone every few stabilizer bars for updates, loving every sound animation, so I would like to say, clearly from one fan to another, that I love the little detail of the sky's of Prospit in her eyes.

[@aequoreavicq]

Damn!!! The use of scale is absolutely amazing! Echidna’ figure is so large and encompassing, it’s incredible!!

[@Deathstorm501]

Ok that bit with grimdark rose was phenomenal, i loved that, shes so creepy like that omg

[@Danund81]

This was so amazing to watch, the VAs were awesome and the animation for echidna was next level eerie, Glados mixed with Shodan and a dark souls boss!

[@LocalPostal]

You dont get nearly as many views on these but thank you for continuing to make them anyway, your work has so much passion in it.

[@marcellyrangel5419]

Gosh this is SPECTACULAR, I think this is your best one so far!! Really, I wish I could give this a thousand likes, amazing AMAZING job!! Thank you as always for keeping homestuck alive!!

[@lunatic0verlord10]

Glad to see you're still doing some Homestuck videos.

[@larryfoullke219]

I have no Idea what homestuck is but this animation is simply beautifull in its design and looks.

Holy shit, this os the greatest animation for homestuck ive seen in years, fantastic job! I would love to see more of this

[@geminirenegade9290]

Wow! This was such a cool one! Nice job, Ichellor!

[@Harbinger_of_entropy]

WOAHHHHH THE QUALITY OF THIS IS SO GOOD WHATTTT

[@Flash-mv8rn]

WOW WOW WO WOOW ... Your animation style is so stunning.... i know its 3d but it almost looks like stop motion animation because of the textures and the way the characters move,,,, wow i have literally no words for how gorgeous this is! Im obsessed with how echidna's eyes are animated like theyre portals... wowow

[@Ruesen]

Loved it! Especially with the revitalizing of the webcomic!

[@awanderingp3rson]

yo woah whaattttt this SLAPS! real underrated

[@lumeanoastra1252]

This made me realise how little screentime the Denizens have in the comic

[@aisutistoto5771]

You do Ultrakill AND Homestuck. Instant subscribe.

[@StuhlbeinDesTodes]

Very well written, gorgeously animated and the voice of Echidna was hauntingly beautiful.

[@OneColdRepublican]

Not even Dave putting Bec Noir in QUTAUM LOCK is enough to get the upper hand. That's so flipping cool, like the Weeping Angel but more deadly. I love it(and the rest of this cool animation!)

[@lunatic0verlord10]

I do wonder if this means we'll see Cascade, eventually.

[@aaronsmith9633]

I have never seen anything related to Homestuck, but i had to watch it because Ichellor's animations are just that good

[@yesimew]

ohhh!!!! wonderful as always!!! I love this one, great job, I believe it was a good experiment! I loved it

[@calebgoodman3028]

Beautiful work as always!

I love this animation style it's honestly what I wanna do in animation

[@isocryd]

I just found your channel and these videos are just amazing. Consider me a fan!

[@fogoncitozuniga6448]

Great! Now i am gonna become a Homestuck expert only to enjoy this master piece

[@egekahraman8985]

woah. I dont even know what homestuck actually is but this animation is hella impressive nonetheless

[@lovelyfma]

the atmosphere is perfect

[@theironicmonster]

i love love LOVE echidna's design~!

[@ElderFreeman413]

I absolutely love this

[@motivationenjoyer9830]

Top tier animation as always. Would love to see Jesus Prime animation from you, the community already made a soundtrack and voice lines

God I love the Echidna model

No idea what homestuck is but holy hell this is amazing

Fuck to the hell yes!!

[@yoyonolen]

Amazing!

[@0ceanking]

This is so awesome in so many ways but wasn't Jade wearing the 3 in the morning dress when fighting Jack with Dave? Either way, amazing work. Always wanted to see these scenes animated!

[@Clodinator]

gonna be honest, that Dave model is kinda jank

[@Charon_gmi]

Pls more Ultrakill

[@polonyuino5016]

Where's Adagio Redshift?

[@mr.teobruh977]

Has someone that barely knows what homestuck is, what in the actual f is happening Edit: cool animation tho, loved it

[@roey201]

As someone who read homestuck, what the hell is happening?????

[@repulser93]

So as both a RWBY and Homestuck fan, I’ve gotta ask… why am I getting Volume 9 flashbacks?

[@mary-katescharenberg2429]

Omg what happened next 😮

[@centurosproductions8827]

Grammar is a bit off in this one. Not just Echidna's but sometimes Jade's too. On a different note, are Echidna's eyes supposed to be showing the clouds of Skaia?

[@sadkefekaya6442]

Yo everyone here heard of homestuck? 😱😱😱😱

[@_____________42]

Kino kino

[@higztv1166]

YOLO

[@SpontaneousPudding]

The animation is very cool but the dialogue is kinda disjointed and difficult to understand.

[@SSJSaphira]

Eh, that's just how Homestuck was. It was a wierd comic

[@JohnVance]

Somewhat by design-denizens are canonically obtuse and speak in nearly incomprehensible riddles and code that can only be truly understood by their corresponding player. You’re not supposed to understand it-only Jade is.

[@SpontaneousPudding]

@JohnVance fair enough that makes sense. I forget if her interaction with Echidna was actually shown on panel.

[@JohnVance]

@@SpontaneousPudding It actually wasn’t, only hinted at, which makes this whole thing that much more impressive!
