I love their cover of 1,200 Balloons, Dalmatians, and Miles.

Transcript Under the Cut
[Ponytail, Cueball, Megan, Knit Cap, and Hairy are in line at a theatre box office, the marquee above announcing "Playing Tonight The New Supergroup: 176 Pilots, Seconds of Summer, Non Blondes, Live Crew, gecs, Doors Down, Inch Nails, Republic, Direction, and Seconds to Mars".]
Just wanted to draw them both. Y'know, I saw that this was a ship and I don't know what else to say about it other than ✨ self love ✨ I guess xd? it's really funny to think about-
I also tried to changed the artstyle for pebble (failed miserably) because the creator (@zeddyzi) did that with an animation on youtube and I thought that it was cool :D
This might just be me, but I am starting to notice a serious trend of independent animation being critisized simply for being self indulgent.
It happened with Hazbin Hotel in 2019 and it's currently happening to The Amazing Digital Circus now, which is which very sad to see. It's not enough to be pattern but it's definetly enough to be noticeable.
A lot of people who don't delve to much into creative mediums seem to forget that art: ALL ART, is a self indulgent medium. The target audience, when creating a project, is yourself. If other people like it and want to see more, than cool. But at the end of the day, you (or in this case, Gooseworx and Vivziepop) are the target auidence for their/your projects.
"All the characters in Hazbin Hotel reek of Tumblr and teenage edge" Vivzie designed all the characters when she was in Highschool and wanted to reuse them for her series. Of course they have 2010s Deviantart vibes, she grew up a 2010s deviantart kid and wanted to keep that vibe.
"Jax is total Tumblr Sexyman Bait and everything is too colorful and bouncy and annoying!" Gooseworx said themself that they like Jax's character archetype which is why they wanted to include him. Also have you SEEN Goose's other work? Bouncy and colorful are their thing.
There are plenty of things to critisize about HH (And it's spinoff HB) and TADC. Even as a fan of these works, I have my issues with them, some even as a result of this self indulgence, but disliking them so vehemently simply BECAUSE they are self indulgent really discourages people from making art, especially in fields such as animation.
TLDR: If you want to see more independent animation and art being made, you have to let people get a little self indulgent. You might not like it, but at the end of the day, it isn't made for you. And that's ok.
Throughout the last three years, I’ve grown a lot as a person and a creator, so it is insanely rewarding to see how far I’ve come.
Thank you all for your support! All of the beautiful drawings, stories, and videos you send me have a very special place in my heart. 💚💜
Huge thanks to Mye for the beautiful line art on this poster! I’ll be putting it up on my website after we relaunch the whole thing later this summer.
I’d also like to thank all of my friends who have stuck around to see me through all of these creative ventures and projects. Y’all mean the world to me and I love you to bits! :>
Coming up on August 2nd, 7:30pm, LACKADAISY will be up on the big screen at the Secret Movie Club Theater in L.A.!
Fable and I and some of the crew will be there hosting a live Q&A too.
If you happen to be in the area and in the mood for some animation, get your glad rags on and come join us!
