Unhinged villians that manipulate their body is my hyper fixation. And this one will make a perfect addition to my collection. In ya go with Bill Cipher and Emperor Belos.
Well, how about this addition of a villain in your collection - Eeech from soviet cartoon "Wow, a talking fish" or something like that (rus. "Ух ты, говорящая рыба"), don't know how it was translated. Seriously, such an effort and trippyness (is this even a word?) were put into this guy's animation, especially for that time. P. S. - many people call this cartoon Russian, but it was made in ARMENIA! C'mon guys, USSR is not only Russia, there were 15 republics.
how odd, I share this obsession, to the point most of my OC's have this trope. If I may, another villain I have found particularly compelling is, Cyn from murder drones and Alastor from the Hazbin Hotel and, of course, my own villains such as the one that graces my profile picture.
I did a two character concept for a DND campaign I dm'd where the was a Shadowy Character who was really silly and toyed with the party and a Light themed character who was a)serious and treated the party like the threat they were and B) Really done with Shadowy Character's shenanigans. We had fun UwU
@@Yektpsigra No, they're referring to the undead, bird party host from the famous currently-in-development "Billie Bust Up". Please check it out it looking to be a very fun game.
@@Tanuki_Tales from my understanding yes, currently they can barely do stuff in the physical world, but if they manage to get in, all hell will break lose. so basically Bill Cypher, except they have slight physical form(a literal crow)
THIS IS AWESOME! Like- even disgarding the absolute stage presence of Ken Page's voice and performance as Oogie Boogie, this animatic is such a perfect villain introduction for your character. The mark on the hand matching the imagery of the hero implies a connection which draws the hero (possibly looking for answers) into the trap, villain catches the hero off guard, excellent transformation animation btw, especially the way he stretches out at first. The Hero seems to be experiencing Big Fish syndrome where maybe up to this point the threats they've been dealing with have been more manageable (big fish in a small pond), so when they meet a major threat it allows for a massive shift in the status quo. And we see that with the Hero, while having been put on the backfoot initially, making demands, thinking they can intimidate their way out of the fight, only for the Villain to flip the script and do some crazy shit, clearly showing that this is a game to him, while the Hero is straight up fighting for their life. And oh my God! The design of this dude, the way he moves, and shifts, and twists. The visual language of the whole scene affirming the text as written. This is masterful, and I need to dig to see if there's more about these characters on your channel.
Though I’m really interested in what our hero can do, like she counters the snake with some kinda magic, and then she turns invisible or something a second time
This is the scene where the hero meets a very powerful villain pretty early on and is helpless to win and sets up even better for the final confrontation at the end
GOD I LOVE THIS GUY his design and the way he moves in sync with the music he is so cool omhduawhjaudhuawaijodasjida YOU COOKED STAY IN THE KITCHEN (more of this guy i love him so much) god hes so awesome sauce 100/10
This is beyond boss. The fluidity of the villain mixed with his fondness for twisted imagery weaves together beautifully and the fact that our hero/protagonist seems helpless to do anything just makes it better. Not to mention his legitimately creepy design makes him truly seem like a twisted god in a world of his own. No leaving, no control, just a puppet under a shadowy master that gleefully enjoys every moment of your torture. The twisted imagery is incredibly powerful, the villain is portrayed beautifully, and the animation is on point. Masterpiece of an animation.
I feel the best 2d animations of villains are when they can twist their form to play with the protagonist. It always makes it so scary because they are basically powerless against them. This animation is an amazing example of it.
In the beginning, I thought it was a reimagining of spy vs spy using this song. And the plot was like a warlock forced into a pact with a greater power.
Bit late to the party but holy shit this is one of the coolest OC animatics I’ve ever seen. I love everything about this world and how distinct the characters’ personalities are. Bravo!
Gotta love a chaotic evil who just toys with the protagonist. This character is like if Bill Cypher, fused with Dr. facilier, but has the voice of Oogie Boogie. Well done 👍
I know this isnt how its supposed to be but i like to imagine this as the villain is actually the hero but also a psychopath that torments the villains
I love everything about this, the creepy eldritch plague doctor villain especially, but I also really like how you made them “wake up” by falling, it’s one of my favorite random sleep/dream things
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS BUT I NEED TO INHALE THIS LORE, IT LOOKS AMAZING 😭✨. -Cool noir style female hero?! -Confident, trickster nightmare themed villain?!✅ -Conflict of ideologies?!✅ -A mindscape/Oniric confrontation that goes well beyond “let’s punch eachother”?!✅ -THE CREATIVE USE OF THE CAHRACTER’S POWERS to present an engaging choreography?!✅ -THE SONG USED?! ✅ Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to leave this here ‘cause if this were a comic I’d buy a full series twice lol, great work and good luck with any other work/animatic you might do (which I definitely plan to check out) :D
I absolutely loved this, a primordial that's more focused on playing with their food more than anything, it reminds me of Red Jack from Doom Patrol in the comics, I feel like he would do this to Niles Caulder like Joker would to anyone or Boogie would to Santa
That split a seam tongue thing... That was creative. That was good. 👏 And when they first picked up the flashlight. And when the other picked up the flashlight. Im a sucker for an interesting transition
I absolutely adored all of the small details in this, it would take a lifetime to point them all out but I’ll try my best to do all the ones I really like. The man in the box that turns into the bogeyman resembles a turned over Jack in The Box, I don’t know if it was intended but it’s fun. The lights going out a row at a time is just fun in any context but you did it really well! The bogeyman, who was so much bird imagery, putting the character in a bird cage is great irony. The faces changing is just done so beautifully, I love all of them! The literal eye roll! The changing of the symbol on the back of their hand at “I’m laughing” to a laughing face. The flashlight creating a “spotlight” on the fight as well as the bogeyman pointing it towards their face like they’re telling a spooky story. The bogeyman’s face morphing out of the other’s is just *chef’s kiss*. The horizontal blink is SO creepy. And finally, the bogeyman being a literal crow at the end. It’s just all so wonderful, thank you for making it!
I recall one that was from Doom Patrol, Red Jack or Jack The Ripper as he was called in 1888, he fed off the pain of others and came to Earth Every Century or so, he seemed VERY dangerous in the comics but died in New Earth, they might think to bring him back for Prime
God this is so fucking cool. I don't even know where to start theres just so much going on. He's giving me vibes like Bill Cipher with how he toys with reality
0:15 I know it's early in the video but it's my favorite part. The whole thing is just scary as hell. The body grabs his hand and is happily greeting him with hollow bemused eyes. And the the cackling with his wings in the failing street lamps makes him look like a fallen angel of some kind. The moment that thing grabbed his hands he was already in trouble
OMG, i have a oc just like the villain but twist , the oc is a long dormant demon who has the ability to warp all of his surroundings but is way more gruesome as stated he is a demon who likes to torture his prey with their loved ones dead body’s etc , but cool to see another kooky villain oc!
This fells like when youre watching a funny cool little animation on cartoon network or smthing and then suddenly shit gets serious and a terror beyond imagination hits the screen out of nowhere
This is one of my favorite songs from one of my all time favorite movies. I love what you've done with it, this video was a ton of fun and I love your villain character
Phenomenal work, absolutely love this animation. I love it when the villain outclasses the hero in every category and I'm left wondering how the hero will come ahead and defeat them. That is, unless the book ends with villainous laughter as they gloat their triumph, and we are left waiting for the hero to come back and end the villain in a later installment.
I absolutely love it ! i am a fan of the song, but even if the gambling style wasn't added, i love how you drew the villain ! (Like Aladin's genie, playing with animation itself, idk if i'm clear)
This is beautifully done and I’m shamelessly taking aspects of how you portray a hero out of their depth and a monster toying with them for my own OCs. Side note: I love the difference between Void’s attitude dealing with Crow here compared to dealing with the two agents in your shorts. I think every hero should have a villain they could handle in their sleep and a villain they have no chance of beating, to show both sides of the character.
I have my own OC species called "Masks" and the way that the crow guy manipulated the black void stuff that I assume was his body is exactly how I imagine The masks bodies moving around. So Thank you for finally giving me something to point at as an example and say "THIISSS is how it works" also just generally its extremely well done and i just adore the crow guy's ascetics, from the hat to the mask to how he holds himself. (if its not a he, sorry. creatures like this are often hard to tell the gender of so my default is just "guy")
oh amigo, el tiene tanta personalidad. yo simplemente lo adoro. edit, olvide mencionarlo antes, pero ADORO lo expresivo que es su movimiento, la forma de moverse de los personajes es algo que dice mucho de ellos y amigo, casi podia imaginar las pequeñas bromas que haría si no estuviera cantando
One quick thing I did not bring up in my comment on the "This is Halloween" video is that Crow ACTIVELY shows control over Olive's shadow powers when she makes a face on her hand when she puts it up to her mouth
So, I just dicoverd this yesterday and I am, 1 obsesed with this and, 2 in love with how you made the boogieman a shadowy eldrich horror thingy Its SO cool!!

Spot from Spider-Verse and Onomatopoeia from Batman
@@SCR33NH3AD Not quite what I was talking about (although you're looking in the right spot), but good eye!
The TH-cam link that pops up when the mask turns to an eye. Lore????
1:34 for TH-cam link
@@KK-Kool I typed it in. It doesn't work
I love it when the heroes or protagonists can’t actually defeat the villain but have to escape them or be the playthings of them 😅
Yeah I especially love when they can only be defeated by the rules they apply to them self.
Read versus manga
Personally I prefer a little showman ship, and this fella has it in spades😂
That’s not a villain
It’s a force of nature
@@bluefirefoxowo many often confuse the two as society can’t except that they aren’t the ones in control
That humbling moment in a Super Hero's journey where they realize that they are *Waaaaay* out of their depth.
I wonder if our hero will her be as powerful, like how do her abilities work?
Imagine your a hero and the villain your fighting just starts singing and toying with you
Then you know YOU ARE SCREWED!!
That's the equivalent to running out of healing items in a game after defeating the final boss, but the health bar suddenly refills
And calling you Santa Claus
Unhinged villians that manipulate their body is my hyper fixation.

Mahito is also a great example of this, although only really does it while fighting
Fr, Imma add this to my supervillain box
Bro one of my oc’s is the personification of fear and he loves toying with people so he does this all the time.
shadow themed characters who seem to have some kind of reality-altering ability but choose to use it to be silly >>>
I have one
Ahh, I have a full house of dream and sanity weavers
I did a two character concept for a DND campaign I dm'd where the was a Shadowy Character who was really silly and toyed with the party and a Light themed character who was a)serious and treated the party like the threat they were and B) Really done with Shadowy Character's shenanigans.
We had fun UwU
I love those villains like Discord, Barnaby, Bill Cipher, who just do whatever they want to mess with you despise being able to kill you in a blink
Pretty sure he's just an Oneirokinetic, so all of that was dreamweaving. Probably an actual wimp in a fight.
Barnaby the dinosaur?
@@Yektpsigra
No, they're referring to the undead, bird party host from the famous currently-in-development "Billie Bust Up". Please check it out it looking to be a very fun game.
@@Tanuki_Tales from my understanding yes, currently they can barely do stuff in the physical world, but if they manage to get in, all hell will break lose. so basically Bill Cypher, except they have slight physical form(a literal crow)
@calebkreutlein8777 I believe the Moon Lady is the one in charge though.
THIS IS AWESOME! Like- even disgarding the absolute stage presence of Ken Page's voice and performance as Oogie Boogie, this animatic is such a perfect villain introduction for your character.

Thank you so much for the praise!! You have a good eye, and it's very rewarding to have someone dissect all the details I've put it in my work.
So well said!!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself
Though I’m really interested in what our hero can do, like she counters the snake with some kinda magic, and then she turns invisible or something a second time
0:23 That "oooooo!" transition was CLEAN!
This is the scene where the hero meets a very powerful villain pretty early on and is helpless to win and sets up even better for the final confrontation at the end
This villian feels like the perfect combo of bill cipher, toffe, oogie boogie (obvs) and other insane wacky villians
I kinda get a hint of Barnaby from Billie bust up with the shifting shadow for and the avian features
I've also mentioned but it also has quite abit of Beetlejuice
Maybe a bit of Alastor
Kind of gives me a Belos vibe with the shapeshifting
@@monke7919 ooh
R.I.P. Ken Page. He would have loved seeing his song animated like this.
The way the villain speaks with just her body language and the shifting of the mask displays so much personality with so little!!
1:46 DUDE THE WAY YOU MADE HIM ROLL HIS EYES WHEN HE HAS NO PUPILS!!!
You just earned a new subscriber, can’t wait to see more from you
I love this character concept so much! And he really gets his money’s worth with how expressive he can be physically even as a shadow like creature!
Two Nightmare Before Christmas songs + this lore. I LOVE IT.
Okay, I absolutely love it. I love how you made him play around and exploit the shadows.
GOD I LOVE THIS GUY his design and the way he moves in sync with the music he is so cool omhduawhjaudhuawaijodasjida YOU COOKED STAY IN THE KITCHEN (more of this guy i love him so much) god hes so awesome sauce
100/10
absolutely horrifying, I love him
I love this eldritch silly! I NEED MORE OF THEM.

The Boogeyman here feels like a mix between Pitch Black from Rise of the Guardians, and the Shade from DC comics. Awesome work!
I feel the best 2d animations of villains are when they can twist their form to play with the protagonist. It always makes it so scary because they are basically powerless against them. This animation is an amazing example of it.
Oh man, the face switch is such good animation … love
god i love this villain design
I just realized how similar crow is to Barnaby from billie bust up either way this series seems so interesting and you did a great job
Watching this right before Halloween and I have no regrets!
In the beginning, I thought it was a reimagining of spy vs spy using this song. And the plot was like a warlock forced into a pact with a greater power.
Bit late to the party but holy shit this is one of the coolest OC animatics I’ve ever seen. I love everything about this world and how distinct the characters’ personalities are. Bravo!
I love crow’s design
Gotta love a chaotic evil who just toys with the protagonist. This character is like if Bill Cypher, fused with Dr. facilier, but has the voice of Oogie Boogie. Well done 👍
I DONT EVEN HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIVE THIS CUZ IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND OMG 😭😍😍
Duuuude!!!
The fuckin "Ooh, I'm really scared!" animation is SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!
LIKE HOLY SHIT
I really enjoy the artstyle and the dynamic between these 2!
He’s terrifying and kind of hot. I love it.
This is amazing! I love how interesting all of the villains are!
Ok the crow she’s probably one of my favorite characters due to her looking so chaotic and just elderitch
I think I just found my new favorite Boogie man.
Big fan of eldritch type villains, especially ones with the Whole "multiple eyes everywhere" shtick
I know this isnt how its supposed to be but i like to imagine this as the villain is actually the hero but also a psychopath that torments the villains
batman:
This feels like a crossover between Beetlejuice, Lovecraft and a bit of Bloodborne, I love it
Well, isn't he a blast back from the black plague. Just a charming eldritch prankster.
Loved the energy here!
1:54 you know I always think he's gonna say something else here every time I hear it
I hear it now
Same @@flaredesel3425

I love everything about this, the creepy eldritch plague doctor villain especially, but I also really like how you made them “wake up” by falling, it’s one of my favorite random sleep/dream things
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS BUT I NEED TO INHALE THIS LORE, IT LOOKS AMAZING 😭✨.
-Cool noir style female hero?!
-Confident, trickster nightmare themed villain?!✅
-Conflict of ideologies?!✅
-A mindscape/Oniric confrontation that goes well beyond “let’s punch eachother”?!✅
-THE CREATIVE USE OF THE CAHRACTER’S POWERS to present an engaging choreography?!✅
-THE SONG USED?! ✅
Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to leave this here ‘cause if this were a comic I’d buy a full series twice lol, great work and good luck with any other work/animatic you might do (which I definitely plan to check out)
:D
Okay, that is an Awesome villain design.
I really love the villains design! I also love how he kinda looks like a mix between a crow, grim reaper, and a plague doctor!
I absolutely loved this, a primordial that's more focused on playing with their food more than anything, it reminds me of Red Jack from Doom Patrol in the comics, I feel like he would do this to Niles Caulder like Joker would to anyone or Boogie would to Santa
This is a legit masterpiece wow
The bit with the hand on the mouth, then the mouth on the hand? Excellent. I love that sort of visual gag, and you had several nice ones.
That split a seam tongue thing... That was creative. That was good. 👏
And when they first picked up the flashlight.
And when the other picked up the flashlight. Im a sucker for an interesting transition
I've always loved this very specific type of villain
I love it when a villain plays with their victim, it really makes them seem more like a cold blooded predator
AHHHHHHHHHH
The transitions from the evil cool mask dude were so good! I love the little head spins and evil mwahahahaing that came with it.
I'm in love with your art style! I can see CROW singing The Boogeyman Song as an intro. 💜🖤🤍

God the Bogeyman changing their shape to mess with the hero is amazing!
gotta love villains with eldritch powers, needs to be done more
I recall one that was from Doom Patrol, Red Jack or Jack The Ripper as he was called in 1888, he fed off the pain of others and came to Earth Every Century or so, he seemed VERY dangerous in the comics but died in New Earth, they might think to bring him back for Prime
Now this, this person knows what they are doing the expressiveness you shown so much emotion from these characters it’s crazy
God this is so fucking cool. I don't even know where to start theres just so much going on. He's giving me vibes like Bill Cipher with how he toys with reality
All imma say is such a cool villian idea, the movement is very creative

Love the design of the villain so much ngl ❤

Absolutely perfect!!! This villain has the best character design I've seen in years, and I love it!!!
Crow seems to have some loony toons powers (idk if that makes senses)
ON THIS IS GOOD
Oh great!! A new thing to get obsessed!!!
I absolutely love it !
i am a fan of the song, but even if the gambling style wasn't added, i love how you drew the villain ! (Like Aladin's genie, playing with animation itself, idk if i'm clear)
This deserves way more views honestly
So I take it he’s some kind of dream demon? Love the animation!
This is super cool! I really like the villains design :]
please make a youtube animated series im begging you i love the Boogie man in this
Bro, this Crow guy could be a VRChat avatar
This is beautifully done and I’m shamelessly taking aspects of how you portray a hero out of their depth and a monster toying with them for my own OCs.
Side note: I love the difference between Void’s attitude dealing with Crow here compared to dealing with the two agents in your shorts. I think every hero should have a villain they could handle in their sleep and a villain they have no chance of beating, to show both sides of the character.
I have my own OC species called "Masks" and the way that the crow guy manipulated the black void stuff that I assume was his body is exactly how I imagine The masks bodies moving around.
So Thank you for finally giving me something to point at as an example and say "THIISSS is how it works"
also just generally its extremely well done and i just adore the crow guy's ascetics, from the hat to the mask to how he holds himself.
(if its not a he, sorry. creatures like this are often hard to tell the gender of so my default is just "guy")
I love how this looks with the music, way better then the original
oh amigo, el tiene tanta personalidad. yo simplemente lo adoro. edit, olvide mencionarlo antes, pero ADORO lo expresivo que es su movimiento, la forma de moverse de los personajes es algo que dice mucho de ellos y amigo, casi podia imaginar las pequeñas bromas que haría si no estuviera cantando
This is just….so awesome!
