today is #IndieAnimationDay and i thought it would be nice to highlight 4 immensely underrated independent projects through fanart! they’re all available on youtube and/or newgrounds so go check them out
based on concepts by @kevindart, this one is a stylish micro-series with some slick action, beautiful 3D animation, and a sweet 70s aesthetic. also check out the new series, hotel kolkata
MICRO SERIES II: HOTEL KOLKATA (in progress!)
BARBER WESTCHESTER @jonniphillipsart
part of the larger BLINDFOLD series since 2015, this film is similarly unique in its direction and visual style, and it’s as brilliant as it is captivating. imo my favorite of the series has to be the WASTELAND anthology.
SUBLO AND TANGY MUSTARD @aaron-long
this one is just filled to the brim with expressive character animation and some fantastic writing and storytelling. on top of being funny as hell, it’s also got a lot of depth and character growth. criminally overlooked
COMPLETE SERIES (on season 3)
THE DUST PIXIES (anthony liotta)
part virtual band, part wacky cartoon show, part whatever. this only has a couple shorts and a pilot, but its surreal nature and vibey sound already make this one of a kind. there’s an album too!
“music to sell tickets to” available on bandcamp and streaming
