Creating characters based on emojis

[@Henkiwashere]

This was SO fun to be a part of omg!! Pastel is testing out long form content, and this took us ages to record. So if you like it give it some love!

I liked the flower charater and the other green character i forgot what it was called :|

I found you Lumi........ THE FOG IS COMING

[@AnotherLotte]

The SCP one caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting a more deep subject like experiencing a physical representation of second death. So good.

[@Vividmoney97]

It sorta sounds like that one scp that comes to hang out with you on your final moments when nobody can and offers you a cigarette aswell

That Tulip person seems like an amazing idea. I'm kind of bummed that we don't have our own modern mythos that such an idea can take place.

[@erinfinn2273]

I think we do, it's just that we have so MANY mythos' to draw from that it's difficult to really pin down any one concept.

[@Gacha_Nazrinofficial]

I want somebody to make it a Studio Ghibli movie or a novel. Someone please help her make one

[@EmperorOfApathy]

Pretty sure the “mist” emoji was supposed to be “head in the clouds”, so now I’m wondering what could’ve been if they interpreted it like that. Still love the puffy celestial shroom kid and bog king mushroom lad.

[@hydrashade1851]

I always thought the mist emoji was like the hot or freezing emoji's, just someone reacting to the weather lmfao

[@can0cringe]

I always viewed it more as the "homer fading into the bushes" meme. Like, that type of speechless and utter shock where you just kinda say peace 'n dip out (or well.. fade into the mist/clouds lol)

[@Radioactive-Braincell88]

They created a whole cast of characters that could support a wonderful fantasy-inspired show just through emojis, you guys are beyond this world😲✨ I know that's just me summarizing the topic of the video and complimenting you guys but I mean it, THAT JUST COOOL

[@NoHandle44]

They need to make their own show and make their characters off of these random emojis combinations. 😅

[@GooseGirl1037]

Maybe one day a team of fans could make that a reality. Probably not though

[@empathictitan9538]

it's always a nice day when an artist just has fun and lets their imagination run wild

PASTEL FLURRY, Your animations are beautiful! You inspire me and many people! Thank you !💓✨💥 Thanks for the childhood about Baldi, your characters, Kiki and the Pink Unicorn. I hope you will be happy! Have a good day. You deserve popularity. You are truly amazing and special! Your style and view of the world is different!I've been watching your channel since 2019, thank you for existing and raising people's spirits with your creativity! [ I hope she sees it] [ And yes, this video is awesome! ]

[@theretrogamer9987]

SCP-2295, also referred to as "The Bear With a Heart of Patchwork", is a Safe-class object under the SCP Foundation's containment. It is a patchwork teddy bear that helps sick or injured people. 9:14

[@natanealyipchengjunhci4885]

The amount of chaotic energy between pastel and henki

[@NoHandle44]

I really loved Pastel's SCP flower. It legit feels like it could be a real SCP and the fact that it's such an amazing design that she basically conceptualized on the spot is just flabbergasting!

[@fewhui4043]

The Hollow Knight music for your final character really threw me by surprise, but you couldn't have picked a better soundtrack for something as sad but beautiful as the characters story.

The pair of mushrooms in the 2nd round makes me think that maybe since the first one is a bounty hunter type maybe the 2nd little one is also a bounty hunter and they have this nice "only here for the job" x "wants to have fun" hunter duo dynamic

10:40 You could honestly make a good scp out of this! Heck i could write a story! Ahem Long ago a old lady Lived Who loved To pick flowers She had a husband who also loved these flowers One day the husband passed Overwhelmed with grief The lady would stop picking flowers Overtime The flowers in her garden would wither away Soon A forest spirit would appear giving her a chance to remember and help grieving people And thats how it would go!

[@blankcanvas3358]

Lots of respect for animating your conversations in the video. It’s also fun seeing your emoji based characters have little play dates.

[@thebigheartyradish]

in my head all of these characters are part of the same story... The cow woman is picking flowers and comes across a cave. in the cave the little shroom boy spots her and thinks she is beautiful, but as she passes by she drops a flower and shroom boy wants to return it. When he catches up to her he returns the flower and offers to guide out of the cave, she puts him in her basket and they continue on through the cave. They spot the tall mushroom man with a sword and they run over to talk to him and he tells them that his friends are getting married but he cannot cross a chasm, the cow woman creates a vine bridge and they begin to cross but the bridge brakes and they fall into the chasm. they get separated and shroom boy and the mushroom man have to maze their way through a forest of puffball mushrooms, in the forest they are met with the mushroom ghost and shroom boy is scared but the mushroom man is interested and finds it wasn't real. they find their way out to find the cow woman sitting at a marshy pond with the married couple, the mushroom man is sad he missed the wedding but is told it's fine. time flies by and the mushroom woman died and shroom buy morns her grave. the tulip man appears to comfort shroom boy...

[@sweethearthive2950]

I’ve done this challenge before!!! it’s super fun practice for creature and character designs!! one of my older ones is a pumpkin, knife, and cat which and MUCH more versions is my bread and butter of when I’m experiencing a struggle in making art to just ask friends for and giving them the characters/creatures :}

Funny that pastel brings up a comforting SCP that brings people things in consolation and there's literally an SCP that does that. Except it's just a dude who sits with you as you are passing, but only if no one is there to mourn you. Also he brings smokes. Sorta like a bouquet.

[@GG7311_YT]

[@JcTheCasualWeirdo]

With the third character that Pastel made, what’s funny is that when she specified “the flowers don’t wither after a year” it reminded me that one year ago, my friend’s pop passed, and she had a vase of flowers that were from the funeral and they’ve NEVER withered or died. I don’t know how, it’s just a miracle.
