[@daniellelongacre4067]

Alastor: Sex? No. Fighting endlessly and pettily for little to no reason? Yes.

[@mehh.l730]

real

[@maisathedragonartist3364]

This, this is the reason of why they still together

[@musical_costumer7976]

I gotta love how petty the man is.

[@rodeodust64]

Love seeing everyone give fanon alastor a tail hahhaha 🤣

[@nealillustrator]

If we do it enough in the fanon maybe we can manifest it for real

[@nobinary2296]

​@@nealillustratorI would die of happiness.

[@Rosearaider]

He does have a tail doesn't he

[@CMA03_YT]

I thought so! ​@@Rosearaider

[@silverfang1158]

Yeah it’s been like that for a long time now.

[@Kangaroo_Child]

Alastor: Slaps Rose outta Vox's hand Also Alastor: "See how quickly he sours?"

[@nealillustrator]

He is so sassy

[@AlexMunz-bg3bc]

The thing is that he fucking would

[@CrescentCaribou]

100% something he'd do in the show too lmao

[@Claudia_Crimson_585]

What did he expect to happen when he slapped the rose away, he ASKED for roses? Lol

[@RayloTaylo]

i read that the same time it played on screen help-

[@jennaPlayz24]

I love how Marvin is used for Vox, since Christian Borle voices Vox

[@dreamhacker606]

I was like "Huh sounds like Vox" and I realize now it is him lol

[@rilianelucifen876]

never would've expected andrew rannells’ voice to work so well for alastor and yet here we are

[@nealillustrator]

It’s shocking how well it fits really

[@MelonHere20]

I know right

[@barsthesnowcat]

Agreeee

[@OMGSOSILLEH]

I thought ghosts just…….✨floated away✨

[@pitifulchildren]

@@OMGSOSILLEHhe fucking slayed as veneer icl

[@Lei_Lei_Plays]

THE EFFING CAT ALASTOR AT THE END OMFG YOU DID NOTTTT 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nealillustrator]

I love that weird little demon cat thing with all my heart

[@duckcatthequrugosk5504]

IT'S ALSO AT THE FIRST FRAME IN THE CHAIR IT'S THE FIRST THING I SAW 😭😭😭

[@izabell2893]

I love the way you envision their relationship a lot!! The right view of bickering and toying. My favorite is the one part where Alastor changes Vox’s attire to more his classy style, really speaks about his character🤩

[@nealillustrator]

Gotta make sure they match for their mandatory dinner date

[@eleonard5820]

Can’t wait to see your take on Alastor and Vox’s relationship!!

[@nealillustrator]

I hope it was worth the wait!

[@Cloudhead25]

You could animate a grane of rice becoming rice and it would be worth the wait❤️

[@Iyannah15]

CAT ALASTOR IN THE PICTURE FRAMES FORCES ME TO PAUSE AND LAUGH EVERY TIME 😭 1:17

[@levhaiba448]

LOVE THIS SONG. LOVE THIS SHOW. LOVE CHRISTIAN BORLE FR. And Vox and Marvin as characters just make sense

[@nealillustrator]

RIGHT! Marvin and Vox give off the same energy (for better or worse)

[@_spooky_sandwitch_]

They're both Christian Borle lol also them being rich and (in the beginning of falsettos) assholes ​@@nealillustrator

[@barsthesnowcat]

Omg Christian voice is so sexy, maaaan ❤

[@barsthesnowcat]

Where can I watch the show?

[@sophiaolszewski64]

Love that you’ve found Hazbin Hotel!

[@nealillustrator]

Oh yeah! I heard about a lot before it’s release but after going to megacon and getting to meet the creator I figured it was time for me to sit down and watch the show

[@luna_darling123]

You met the creators!! I'm so jealous

[@veronicawexel1291]

I fucking LOVE the way you draw them. Especially Alastor. Something about his face just hits *so* right and I don't know what it is or why. This is his face in my head now.

[@duckcatthequrugosk5504]

EXACTLY the same for me

[@dellenga]

Absolutely and agressively agree

[@itspeter4507]

My two special interests combined by one of my favorite artists. Heaven.

[@earnest6695]

No way!!! This is so so good!! Both vox and alastor are drawn so uniquely in this style, I'm in love!!

[@nealillustrator]

Thank you!

[@lp_grumpy]

No you don't understand, this is going to be ALL that i am thinking about for the entirety of next week 😭

[@nealillustrator]

I’m glad you can share this burden with me now lol. I have had this stuck in my head for weeks now

[@lp_grumpy]

@@nealillustrator I've actually had dreams about them singing this song, as well as "Take it Like a Man" from Legally Blonde where Vox gets his canon outfit because Alastor, ever the narcissist, wanted to dress him up in something similar to what he would wear (back when they were friends.) This animatic scratches that EXACT itch for this pairing. 🙏😭

[@ericasutton3147]

For the last two months aside from Stayed Gone, I couldn’t think of another song that describes Allistor’s and Vox’s relationship. But this song you used for this animatic is perfect❤

[@sopeachy2515]

Omg the voices kinda suit them so well !!! Fabulous animatic

[@nealillustrator]

One of them IS the Voice actor for Vox so that does help a tiny bit

[@piffny6666]

This is why i love Christian Borel AND your animations!

[@nealillustrator]

Thank you also isnt Christian Borle fantastic! I love his singing voice so much

[@CaladriusPlover]

Christian borle is a gift and this is amazing

[@werenotacouple]

I'm OBSESSED. Not only is this incredibly drawn, with the beautiful backgrounds and the truly perfect expressions- it also tricks the lyrics into displaying perfectly the fun of their dynamic. AMAZING WORK!!!!!!

[@CloudySkye-l5e]

I did NOT expect a Hazbin animatic from you but I couldn't be happier about it!!

[@nealillustrator]

I’m full of surprises!

[@Blue_Giraffek]

In your style they are so handsome! and the level of drawing makes me jealous, good job! nice to look at well done art

[@delicate1917]

I cannot believe I recognized this style so fast, your animatics are always such a dynamic delight to watch

[@imtiredof2020]

It's amazing how fitting the song is to their relationship, i love it!

[@nealillustrator]

It is crazy how well it fits

[@xxLJEGTxx]

Why does this song feel perfect for them?

[@dragon9261]

I love this lots and lots!!! Like the vibe is very blood lust x smitten and I love it lots and lots, like it conveys the like obsessive platonic ambiguity their relationship has and it just makes me really happy

[@nealillustrator]

Thank you so much! I’m happy that comes through!!

[@Jyst855t]

Im completely in love with this animation, its so well made 😫

[@Okaly72]

Omg I'm so hyped! I love your content and Hazbin Hotel so much!! This is gonna be great!

[@nealillustrator]

I hope you enjoyed!

[@Okaly72]

AHH I LOVE IT!!! The art style is so good!

[@Dont_Tell_Anyone_Its_Me]

I love that song, I love Hazbin Hotel, and I love your animatics, but never had I thought I would see all of that in the same video

[@nealillustrator]

All your fav things wrapped into one!

[@mara_livesketcher]

I squeaked because of Cursed Cat at the end!! I love your animatics by MHA so much. Imagine how I squealed when I saw that you and I had joined Hazbin's fandom at the same time!!

[@nealillustrator]

Cursed cat alastor is also at the beginning of the video in a little chair as well! Also hell yeah so excited to be able to be part of this fandom

[@RCOLLINS1446]

There’s also one at 1:17

[@greenesmyfavcolor9742]

I’ve been waiting for someone to mash up Hazbin and Falsettos 😭

[@yuval2440]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS!!! SUCH A GENIOUS CHOICE OF SONG! what an ode to christian borl. i binged this show literally yesterday, it's so awsome to see this animatic right away. your art & expressions are fantastic as always. love that alistor's smile doesn't falter through the whole song. my favorite moment was the "UPSET" XDDD

[@Oddball6676]

This is so fun! I love that you didn't try to make it sexual (what with Alastor being an 'Ace in the hole') but a relationship nonetheless! Also this is very believable, I expect (based on the show) that there was a nasty breakup and some are still bitter 😈

[@nealillustrator]

It was hard not making this sexual cause the song and the context of the song is very sexual. But I figured this interpretation spoke better to their dynamic

[@bananafire1188]

Ive been around for your bnha animatics so i cannot express my delight when i saw this in my notifs! I ADORE this. The way you draw them is simply amazing, especially Alastor. He's so handsome in your style! And i love how expressive Vox is. This whole thing is just,,, GUHHH ill cherish it. 💛💛💛

[@nealillustrator]

That’s so kind of you! I have so many more animatics (mha and many other fandoms) planned so I hope you will stick around with me for all of those as well

[@snowstormgem7295]

oh dear its beautiful , all the lines and the strokes, the way they practically dance, you give them so much personality.

[@fae1806]

i just wanna lyk that i've rewatched this over 20 times at different intervals

[@duckcatthequrugosk5504]

I love how much older Vox looks in your style, it really matches him :D

[@heresmyartash]

I've probably rewatched this over ten times now, ugh. Excellent work.

[@spidermanandsnape]

How does this fit so well?! I love it

[@Chamomile.Tea31]

2:12 Everywhere I go… I see his face

[@anonymousfandommix6850]

Thank you for bringing the Marvin and Whizzer into these two!

[@nealillustrator]

any time I can find an excuse to listen to falsettos on repeat for hours I will take it

[@mars1954]

BRUH FALSETTOS AND HAZBIN!!!! This is one of my absolute favorite songs and this is a masterpiece

[@reii_nyeori]

I'm so glad you did an animatic of these two goofs!! I've been obsessed with Hazbin for a while and this totally fit their dynamic, and I LOVE your style of them. It's so beautiful!! Great work as always!!

[@nealillustrator]

These two have flooded my timeline so I just had to join in the fun! I love a good complicated relationship

[@svnfairy9974]

vox is my babygirl, i love this

[@nealillustrator]

Vox is so babygirl

[@kalyssadouglas2415]

The background shows how much taught and effort goes in to your work! The dead deer and THE NUN OUTFIT pull every thing together I love it!

[@nealillustrator]

Thank you!

[@-totallynotme-]

When i tell you I shrieked when I saw you posted again would be an understatement. I found your channel a few days ago and the smoothness and art style is just bringing me so much joy 😭

[@chiquitagarza9247]

Your content is always like wine, it's better to wait to enjoy. I love your storytelling with the characters you have done. I can't wait to see more content with Alastor and Vox. Keep up the good work!

[@nealillustrator]

Awww thank you! That means a lot! Especially since I juggle so many projects and worry y’all will get bored waiting for me to FINALLY update

[@WilliamTSantiago]

saw this in twitter and sprinted so quickly to KZbin. Love your art style so much. Im very inspired by it.

[@tiredalexander9935]

this animatic is sooooo incredible i just had to comment, from using this song specifically to the designs i am so!!! ahhhh this is so good!!!! their dynamic this is so great!!!!!!!

[@ValeriKys153]

Ру-фандом, на месте? Боже-боже, замечательная работа! Они такие женатики хоть я и не шиппер

[@plvmenace]

Thank you for being the reason for me finding out that Falsettos is a thing and subsequently watching it 😂😭

[@Dryghtendanitsu]

Reminds me of that sitcom with Ian Mckellen where he and another actor are an old gay couple always bickering but in love. "They don't hate each other, that's just how they are"

[@rayvenmoore4016]

Absolutely amazing! Your animation style fits so well with Alastor, I love it! Xoxo

[@nealillustrator]

Thankyou! I was super nervous they would be to different in my style so im glad to hear that they came out okie

[@benjamindeez]

This animatic has given me the fandom brain worms I love thsi

[@nealillustrator]

Join me and the fandom brain worms

[@Elerantula_]

First the MHA animatics, now one with Hazbin (which I'm not interested in) and my fav song from Falsettos. AND! IT'S! ALWAYS! YOU! I noticed it just now. Girl you have IMMACULATE taste in music and how to make it fit to characters I aspire to do stuff like you and do it this well.

[@nealillustrator]

Despite everything it’s always me! I just really like telling stories and this is a fun away to tell them! I know you will be able to do what I do (and even better) just keep pushing forward!

[@kkav4586]

NFKDNDLW I WAS LITTERALLY JUST LISTENING TO THIS SONG, WONDERING WHERE ALL THE ANIMATICS OF IT WENT. AND THEN YOU DROP THIS. Beautiful

[@ves5657]

god. this is so stunning

[@TheAngryLibrarian]

Oh god, I just love this!! x3E Your art is fantastic, love seeing them drawn in this style!

[@sophiaho2952]

Omg the cackle I released when I saw this on my recommended 😭😭😭 As a falsettos and HAZBIN fan THIS LITERALLY MADE MY YEAR-

[@MostlyGhostly24601]

NO WAY. My favorite animatic maker made a Vox and Val animatic?? Is this a dream come true? THIS IS AMAZING!!!

[@mysticmoonjune]

OH MY GODDDD I ACTUALLY LOVE U FOR THIS THIS IS PEAK

[@capitanace]

[@doodlegum]

So glad we got a Hazbin hotel animation from you! Hope you liked the show!

[@nealillustrator]

I do! I’m excited for the next season! Fingers crossed maybe I can work on the show one day too

[@bonetrixarts]

no matter how many times i watch this it still makes me go ABSOLUTELY FERAL. I NEED THIS IN MY BLOODSTREAM. AGHHH.

[@disturbanceatthedancingpla1581]

YESS seeing falsettos on my recommended brings so much joy to my heart!!

[@loyino2080]

What’s funny is that Christian Borle also voices Vox in hazbin hotel.

[@Turnip-il6qn]

AH all of the little details make this SOO beautiful! The detailed expressions, the seamless turns of the characters, the line variation in the drawings themselves, and THAT ALASTOR CAT DEMON THING make this so amazing!! You really captured the little things that each character does in the show to make them more alive!! Also DONT GET ME STARTED ON THOSE BACKGROUNDS. HONEY THEY ARE SO SCRUMPTIOUS LOOKING 😭 An excellent work of art! Great job lol 🥹🫶✨

[@Crane_feather]

Falsetto my BELOVED 😭🥰 there are not alot of things that made me ugly cry like this musical man

[@Genderfluidclown]

THIS ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH I COULD EAT IT

[@killerkatzfoolz]

I simply adore this! The song is so perfectly RadioStatic coded, and your style is wonderful!

[@lilnugget6442]

I LOVE THIS and the style you gave Al OOF

[@kat4665]

[@athen8270]

As a long time fan of both falsettos and hazbin i am overjoyed with this

[@NaiadRiver]

I hate how perfect this is, just like omg god! I want to eat this...The art is so cool! And song fits this kind of relationship and just like whoa!! I can see the characters acting like this so much.

[@nealillustrator]

It’s criminal how perfect it is for them

[@joshnone477]

I AM SO FKIN OBSESSED WITH THIS OH MY GOD

[@LunaMane]

This was so fun to watch, Neal. Its a very interesting change from your original work and My Hero Academia. I really liked the song, too.

[@beedobop]

as usual you ate this up. I've been drawing them a lot and im so ecstatic to see the way you draw them!!!

[@rosiekitten3828]

[@nealillustrator]

Had to work hard to pose vox so he wasn’t in a side view lol

[@UsuMimi]

I love your work so much and seeing an hh animatic from you is a treat fr

[@venusforfran]

the "hang up your clothes marvin, breeding shows marvin" bit where Alastor bends down is my FAV.

[@kitthefoxstudios5756]

The absolute feral screech I made when I saw the gremlin Alastor cat at the end was enough to make my own cat look at me

[@pbtakes2667]

as a fan of falsettos and hazbin i can’t stress how much this made my day ✨

[@dystopyxrose]

I LOVE YOU NEAL ILLUSTRATOR!!! Using this to get more friends into your stuff gehehhehehheh

[@nealillustrator]

I gotta put out feelers somehow. And making an animatic is way easier than finding friends via small talk lol

[@btwblue]

falsettos is how I first found Christian borle and I’ve been waiting for this animatic for radiostatic, this song is so perfect for them

[@thaliaramos4997]

I love how you added your own style to the characters

[@lacrossestick132]

Me when I was about to say “that voice fits Vox so well” and it’s literally the same guy

[@sharkshakes]

I ALWAYS SAID HOW YOUR STYLE IS PERFECT FOR DRAWING ALASTOR

[@sungunner6244]

I just fell in love with your style. Very lively and skilled!
