Indie Animation - Tumblr Posts
This shot from the new glitch video lowkey feels like a declaration of war against corporate animation
And I am HERE FOR IT!
IM GONNNA DO IT!
I am going to attempt an indie-animated show all on my own with 0 funding.
I have a story, and it must be told!
I am going to shittly animate a pilot. If you are even slightly interested in this here is a description of the story+ a link to my story's tumblr
Beneath the Skin
Not you classic zombie story.
In the ashes of a broken world, 17 year old Iza must survive the Compound, both the humans inside of it and the Infected outside. But her life hinges on her ability to hide one secret.
She is not human.
Delve into this story of teenage love, murder, and survival.

KITTENSNEEZE ?!?! I KNEW IT!
IS THAT KITTENSNEEZE!!??
Well, the past week has been frustrating.
I’ll do my best to explain what’s gone wrong, but I don’t blame anyone who can’t wrap their head around it, because it’s a confusing mess.
Within the past couple weeks I’ve made a new Adsense account under my business info (new bank account, tax number, etc) and it’s been rejected. Without an Adsense account linked to your YouTube, you can’t make ANY money from your videos. Because of “policy” they can’t tell me the EXACT thing I’ve done wrong, so I get to play the guessing game and loose the majority of my livelihood in the meanwhile!! Yippie!!! Just what I needed while working on one of my longest most ambitious projects yet!!!
I have savings so it’s not a complete emergency, I can penny pinch for the next 30 to 90 days, or however long they keep me from monetizing my animations again. Thanks to my amazing Patrons, I still have a safety net for when stupid stuff like this happens.
Please consider checking out my Patreon while this BS is happening. I have 50 pages of storyboards up for my newest Godzilla animation, Character sheets, and when storyboarding wraps up I’ll be posting animation sneak peeks as well. Any support is greatly appreciated, and overall I just wanted folks to be aware of the situation. YouTube seems to enjoy finding new ways to disappoint me! I hope to one day reach my Patreon goal so I don’t have to feel so reliant on them to do what I love: making cartoons for you guys. I’ve had multiple situations of YouTube being unhelpful and this is definitely the worst case yet.
If you’re still reading, thanks for hearing me out, and if you’d like to check out the Patreon, it’s linked in my bio. Thank you guys as always, and thanks for watching my cartoons!
he's honestly such a kitten <(￣︶￣)>
I wish they didn't make charlie swear and she would say stuff like "mother trucker" and "heck" instead of "f_ck" Instead I think it fits her bubbly character more 😭
more old art! I made these around four months ago
Did some walk-cycle practice for an OC of mine from my webcomic, Moon of Ronos!
His name is Dochemon, he uses he/it, and it's an idiot with a big ol' heart.
Here's how he looks in colour!!
I love the he.
I'm working on animation because:
I've decided I want to make my webcomic into an animated series on YouTube as well. I'll need voice actors, but all the compositing, animation, etc, will be done by me! Plus!!! Sound design with help from my partner!! @bonebrothmoth
I will prioritize it's release as the webcomic version still, but this is a project I'm going forward with!
My Animation Journey:
How it started (2017): VS. How its going(2024):
I'm very happy to see how much I've progressed over the years!!

Check and Duke episode 2 script part 1
(Check and Duke are at their house.) Onion lady: Come on check and Duke, we are going to the grocery store. Johnny Smith, you'll be watching the house. check: make sure to Home Alone the house Johnny Smith. Johnny Smith: My family could never afford to watch Home Alone. I grew up homeless with company. Duke: Oh, that's kind of sad. check: Anyway, onion lady, are we taking the onion mobile? Onion lady: no unfortunately Johnny Smith ate the onion mobile last night. check: Johnny smith! Johnny Smith: eerrmmm Whoopsie Daisy *throws up* I think I ate too much onion. Duke: Okay, let's get out of here before my allergic reaction starts acting up again. (It shows check, Duke and onion lady walking to the store.) Duke: Oh my God, it's so hot out. check: Yeah, it's like we're in a desert. onion lady: You do have a point. My onions are starting to cook. It's so hot out. But don't worry, we are almost there. Check: Duke, can't you turn into a water type Pokémon to cool us off? Duke: Do you want to get sued by Pokémon? Check nooo… Duke: That's what I thought. Check: I just thought they wouldn't really know. What are they Santa claus? Besides, my soda is going to run out soon, and then what will I drink? (Check is carrying a dim desert soda. They walk by a billboard for Home Alone that glitches into homeless with company. Eventually, they finally get to the grocerystore.) Check: we finally made it. We're here! Duke: And look at Home Depot! (Check and Duke's faces light up.) Onion lady: Why are you two sillies so happy? it's just a Home Depot. Check: Do I need to play The Home Depot song for you!? Onion lady: You mean the jingle? Duke: No, the Home Depot song is 5 minutes long. Onion lady: Duke sweetie, I feel like that's just a marketing tactic. Duke: Gasp how dare you say that about Home Depot they would never market to us. Check: or sponsor us. Onion lady: they wouldn't just sponsor a random family, honey. Check: but we have powers! Shouldn't that make us rich and famous or whatever!? like that creepy bald guy Jeffrey based toe. Duke: his toes are so based. Onion lady: Well, I need to go shopping for onions. So you two can go explore Home Depot. Both of them: Yay! (They're walking to Home Depot when, all of a sudden, checks soda glitches into intense Northern fizzy water. Check takes a sip of it.) *Spits it out* ew what the heck!? Duke: What? Check: My dim desert soda #not-sponsored is all of a sudden this weird intense Northern fizzy water. Fizzy water shouldn't even be intense! Duke: check you don't have to say not sponsored. I know we aren't sponsored. Onion lady just established that we wouldn't be sponsored because we're just two kids. Check: Yeah, but I'm saying it for them. you know the ones. Duke: Oh those ones. (they look into the camera.) Duke: Whatever, let's just go into Home Depot and drink paint instead.
Check and Duke episode 2 script part 2
(They walk into Home Depot, both of them take a deep breath and inhale the scent of Home Depot.) Check: it smells so good! like paint and cardboard. (It then shows a montage of check and Duke playing in Home Depot they're riding a lawn mower, climbing the shelves, flooding the kitchen, spinning in the dryers, and then checks about to drink paint but then suddenly it glitches into some green juice.) Check: the heck! this isn't paint! How am I supposed to quench my thirst now!? what is this? (he reads the label) “healthy juice, juice good, good liquid” fucks that type of name? (Duke comes in riding a lawn mower) Duke: check run! check: what is it?- oh my God! (it shows Duke being chased by a giant krampus-like creature. check jumps on to Duke's ride-on lawn mower. they ride around the ginormous store that keeps going forever. check: Thank God our tax money went to this giant Home Depot, or we would have crashed into something by now. Employee: What are you talking about!? you're crashing into so much stuff right now! My manager is going to be so mad! Duke: Sorry. (Duke turns into a big bird and Carries check up to the Krampus creature, letting the ride on the lawn mower crash. check jumps on the Krampus creature and strangles it with the connecting string of his electric sticks and electrocutes it until its eyes explode from the electricity it falls to the ground. Then it's steaming body glitches and turns into a dead customer that was a little kid.) Duke: Oh my God. Check: uuuhhh *stuffs it in a cardboard box and tapes it up.) Check: Hopefully when someone orders a table they won't get this (cuts to a family receiving the cardboard box and opening it up and screaming. The building then glitches into an abandoned building.) Check: dude, what the hell is going on!? Duke: I don't know, I'm just sad that we're no longer in Home Depot. Check: same. (They walk out of the abandoned building to reveal that they're in a desert with sand made out of sand, concrete, and metal. with four suns in the sky.) Check: oh god… (it then shows the glitcher sitting in his chair and his distorted voice says “try to survive this you monsters…” they're walking in the desert.) Duke: you know what? I may risk copyright infringement by Pokémon… check: I know it's so hot, but we can't afford it. Duke: Damn it. (Check and Duke are super hot and all dried up and exhausted.) Check: I don't know how much longer I can do this *collapses in the sand* ow! ouch! fuck hot! Duke: I know what will cheer us up, let's play a classic game of sand in the eyes! Check: dude where the fuck did you come from? Who plays sand in the eyes? Duke: me. Check: yeah I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe if we can find some cactus we can drink them. (Duke turns into a bird to get a bird's eye view to see if there are any cacti nearby.) Duke: check, I see something green! (Duke turns into a camel and check rides him there. Check tries to use his electric sticks to open it but when that doesn't work they suddenly grow into a blade.) Check: whoa I didn't know they could do that! (he starts to slice open into it but it bleeds red and it opens up revealing a creepy green demon like creature that hisses.) demon creature: hisses and screams. check: aaaahhhh!!! (It scampers off.) Check: well so much for that. Duke: we could have drank it's blood. Check: wait a minute can't you turn into a cow and give us some milk? Duke: uh dude… check: what? Duke: I'm amab check: … Duke: let's just say you won't be getting regular milk from me. check: (clueless) I'm fine with that. Duke: no! Check: fine. Hey look it's starting to get dark but what the… the suns look like they're coming down.
Check and Duke episode 2 script part 3
(The sun's go into the floor, and the sand starts to melt into lava.) Check and Duke: aaaahhhhh!!! (They run and find a sidewalk broken off in the middle of nowhere with a bus stop sign. They run over and get on to it. Check: So are we going to just stay here and die? Duke: I don't know. I don't even know how this sidewalk hasn't melted. everything else has. Check: Hey, look, a bus sign. It says the Night Bus arrives at 9:00. What's that? Duke: Isn't it 9:00 right now? (All of a sudden, the bus pulls up as its wheels are moving through the lava, and the doors open up. A man sits at the bus seat with his face shrouded in Shadows.) Check: do we need a ticket or something? (The bus driver just sits there in silence. check and Duke get on the bus. As they sit down on the blood-stained seats, they see cockroach like demons sitting and hiding in every crevice. The Green Cactus demons get on the bus as well. They sit on the bus as it drives through the lava.) Duke: hey Mr bus driver, where are we going? (The bus driver stays silent.) Stop ignoring me. That's it. (he gets up to look at the bus driver in the face but sees that his face has been cut off with wires running through it, leaving a bloody gory mess behind. Duke screams he sits down next to check and starts crying.) check: it'll be okay… (just then everything starts to light up and the bus turns into a regular bus and drops them off outside of the mall. it shows the glitcher, and in a distorted voice, he says “no! no! no! why does my technology never work!? I mean, I know I'm called the glitcher, but still, it shouldn't glitch outside of my favor! Check and Duke walk up to onion lady who just walked out of the store.) Onion lady: oh check, Duke I knew you guys were thirsty so I bought you some water flavored water. both of them: give me! give me! give me! give me! Onion lady: Oh my, you two are acting like you were in a desert.
Q&A ABOUT CHECK AND DUKE WEB SERIES
As you know, I've released the scripts for the first two episodes of check and Duke, my series I want to make. I'd love for people to ask about the world and characters and stuff! ^w^
