Everytime I see videos or posts about indie animation, I'm a little more sad that people seem to completely gloss over 'Tales of Alethrion', despite them being at it for ten years now and having completely set the high standard for indie anim on Youtube back in the day.

Anyway if you care about indie animation, this is your sign to go watch the episodes now and spread the word about this forgotten masterpiece - especially since a new ep is apparently in the works...

Check out their blog as well: @talesofalethrion

Ken, Mik and Leitha

In an alternate universe where everything is fine forever and the boys went to see Leitha some more after their adventures and everything is okay we're okay everything is FINE

Fanart for the incredible @talesofalethrion animated series in preparation for the new episode dropping on the 28th!

Thinking about Tales of Alethrion again. Here's a little colored sketch of Mik from that series

Hey fellas! Check out our collab with @Ristorr!

I'm super thankful for them reaching out to me and proposing this idea. If you haven't seen the Tales of Alethrion yet, I highly recommend it - It's an amazing indie animated series I did Wilhelm and Ristorr did an amazing Vito. Check their stuff out!

Indie animators who came before Viv: Betsy Lee (created a very compelling anthro fantasy series with great chara designs/arcs called “No Evil” based on Aztec/Mayan mythology), Mikkel Mainz and Kenneth Ladekjer (created the epic “Tales of Alethrion”, a multigen animated fantasy adventure with very amoral heroes) and Studio Heartbreak (about to debut the highly-anticipated “The Lovers”, a futuristic tragic fantasy about a sushi chef who falls in love with a mermaid)

Thank you for this list, and for reminding me how excited I am for The Lovers.

𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩: 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙 !

Greed comes in many different forms and sizes. It can be small, big and all-consuming - just ask Alethrion and Mik !

As you might have seen in the latest episode “Tales og Alethrion: Power of Resurrection part 1” Greed has been borrowing (some might say possessing 🥸) Mik’s body. But finally defeated, Greed is now looking for a new host. So you better watch out!

Even us on the team can feel Greed sneaking up un us. We’re getting greedier by the day and it won’t stop until we reach our next stretch goal on our Kickstarter campaign - so if possible please share or support us - or else Greed might take full control: https://kck.st/43yH7tu

In “Ballad of Halima” you’ll get to see the story of how the Deities created the evil entity Greed in order to stop the world from self-destruction. SPOILER - this was not what happened...

Day 30, Post Reveal🤯

" And their love burns bright, like the the stars in the night, but the stars don't always align. No the stars don't always Align".

From Align, By Your Man Alex Smith for Tales of Alethrion. Watching the music video inspired me to draw this. you'll understand better if you watch the vid yourself, it's REALLY good!!!

I imagine Valerie wouldn't have taken the reveal well💔

[threetrollsandadryad]

Hi, I'm Patrick/Fig, a blank slate character the audience can project onto!

Though it was ten years ago I started this blog, it is only today that I'm getting around to making a proper intro post.

My icon is from my kickstarter cameo in Tales of Alethrion. Hilariously, they made me tall.

This used to be a Homestuck fantroll RP blog way back when, but these days I mostly talk about Touhou.

Occasionally I also post snippets of original worldbuilding from my tabletop fantasy setting, Disl-Aum.

I play Medieval 2 Total War competitively, FFXIV casually, and several other games incorrectly.

I am employed to dubious ends in the dark art of Javascript.

It is my sincerely held religious belief that cinnamon goes good with everything.

Welcome to Six Miles of The Shovel!

This Project is based on the concept of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (and yes can’t forget @ryunumber )

Just like Ryu from Street Fighter Shovel Knight is well known for appearing many different games. Ever since Shovel Knight was included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an Assist Trophy it became very easy to do these connections. Where does the miles part come from? In this case, every number is a mile

Here’s a list of the games Shovel Knight has appeared in:

- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (as an Assist Trophy)

- Blaster Master Zero

- Rivals of Aether

- Blade Strangers

- Brawhalla (as a skin)

- Cook, Serve, Delicious!

- Creepy Castle (as an NPC)

- C-Wars

- Fall Guys (as a costume)

- Dino Run DX

- Indie Pogo

- Move or Die

- Mutant Mudds Super Challenge

- Riverbond

- Road Redemption

- Runbow

- Runner 3

- Aegis Defenders (NPC)

- Azure Striker Gunvolt 2

- Blasphemous (as a painting)

- Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

- Just Shapes & Beats

- Pixel Noir

- The Reward: Tales of Alethrion

- Yooka-Laylee.

There could more guest appearances for Shovel Knight but right now 25 is a solid number so yeah, there’s the that Shovel Knight has appeared in these games.

What are the rules?

- Video games or other miscellaneous stuff included (movies, tv shows and books can be included if they have a connection to the video game)

- Social media will be our savior

- Parodies excluded

- Fan made projects excluded (unless is bought by a licensed company)

- Costumes excluded (however if a costume is considered a character it will be included as the character itself or I can make an exception)

- Skins included (only if it’s a model swap or texture change like in Minecraft and Fortnite)

How can I make a request?

Just ask me the name of the character with their home series so that way I can identify which character in particular you’re talking about (for example: Black Knight from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance) because of course there are characters that can have the same name.

What is a Shovel Number?

Each character will have a Shovel Number which is a number of connections directed to Shovel Knight (For example: Mario has a Shovel Number of 1 via smash ultimate).

What about limited time events?

Yes, limited time characters can be included however it will be known as a “Limited Shovel Number”.

What is the limit of Shovel Numbers?

It has a limit of 6 (for example: if a character has a Shovel Number of 7 then that won’t count).

What is it with parodies?

Parodies are simply a copycat of an existing character (for example: Symbiote Cat is a parody of Super Mario).

Is there something about fanmade projects?

If a project is fanmade that won’t count unless a licensed company has bought it (for example: DBX aka Screwattack from Rooster Teeth Games made a death battle animation between Studio MDHR’s Cuphead vs Joey Drew Studios Mascot Bendy. Joey Drew Studios bought the animation after they made a deal with Rooster Teeth Games by importing BATIM to home consoles, thanks to this the animation is now official to the Bendy Franchise)

What about Minecraft and Fortnite Skins?

If a skin is a model swap or texture change it won’t matter it will still be the character itself (although there are a few negative things about it).

What about SSBU spirits?

They’re the souls of the character itself.

What about Mii Fighter Costumes from SSBU?

We’ll get to that point later.

As of now this is part 1 of my project so get ready for part 2

[doubleddenden]

okay so first episode is pretty okay so far. it definitely gives me vibes of a typical indie pilot you'd see on youtube, like Tales of Alethrion

strong premise, strong art style, strong animation

the problem is that Genndy has... we'll say, troubles sticking the landing. hope it works this go around, he's been working on it for years
