world’s smallest violin - skeppy animatic

[WARNING: bla bla spoilers or something bla bla major character death]

dude just wants to play his violin to his best friend man :(

OKAY THIS TOOK TWO MONTHS, A FEW THINGS I WANNA CLEAR UP

- for majority of the animatic, skeppy's holding and playing the violin wrong — that wasn't intentional, i just didn't research how to draw violins (sorry to all the violin players watching this). but hey, let's pretend it was intentional and say that skeppy would totally play the violin wrong just to piss everyone off

- a few months before this i posted another egg lore animatic called “lovely”. i’m still not all too happy with that one — too angsty, too long, not paced well — so consider this a redo.

- WHY ARE THERE NO SKEPPY LORE ANIMATICS HE ONLY SHOWS UP IN BBH ONES THIS IS A TRAVESTY

- i recorded the audio off my radio which is why it sounds like a toaster — might fix it later if im feeling a little less lazy

- i know skeppy doesn’t actually play the violin. this is a headcanon that i thought fit well with this song.

- also shout out to my good friend tank who introduced me to AJR, you can thank them for this lmao

why does this have one million views where did you all come from whuh

[thegoon]

Skeppy has always had a violin and played it for Bad and none of you can convince me otherwise now.

[joanmj]

Considering the fact that skeppy is canonically 2 ft he just might play the smallest violin

[fate]

Skeppy and Bad’s story is so sad.. and I don’t even know which one to feel bad for, it’s like they kept switching sides and when they were finally on the same one they were just even more seperated

[doomfox]

Yknow what I’m gonna make the posture mistake wholesome:

In the first half Skeppy plays the violin wrong because he knows it annoys Bbh, but after bbh gets egged he plays it right as kind of a “I’m sorry for anything I did, please just come back”

[Butterpony]

I love how you’ve canonically explained skeppy holding the violin wrong in the first half as him just doing it to piss everyone off

[TheEret]

REally really well done! I love how you worked with the build up! :D

[TheGhostlyZed]

sometimes i forget that skeppy's story in the smp is actually pretty sad, then i find stuff like this and start crying-

"somewhere in the universe, somewhere someone's got it worse, " Its killing me slowly 0(-(

1:24

The thought that the vines go on the back of that head supposedly taking over the brain is just a MASTERPIECE



1:34 and the fact that he can just control the diamonds-

[tokkianimates]

Did he hold the violin the wrong way multiple times? Yes. Did he hold the bow wrong? Yes. Was the animation still amazing? Yes.

[_kbat.bue_]

I seriously love AJR and this song goes perfectly with this masterpiece!

[cactuss]

i really liked this part at 2:18 because yeah their characters do have it worse technically, but some characters like foolish, purpled, jack, niki, and ofc skeppy (and more) have also been through some crazy stuff in the lore but its all overlooked

[throwawayaccount]

The fact that he shrinks the bbh statue to his height made me burst out laughing for no reason in particular.

[ScribbleSpirit]

I thought at first that this was gonna be a reference to that one funny Spongebob scene— but oh no.

It ended up being far better than that :OO

[loafyboiithekingofbread]

as a person who played violin for a week and a half and quit because of how complicated it was, the way skeppy plucks the strings with the violin bow is actually pretty on point

[AAARP]

As a violin player I gotta say the way he plays the violin is just slightly cursed, but it's a beautiful animation and love it so

Edit: It's nice seeing all the fellow strings players :)

[thekiko.]

the part where skeppy makes a diamond version of bad almost made me start tearing up on the spot-

[RoronoaZoro-kuop]

EVER SINCE THIS VIDEO CAME OUT I JUST CANNOT STOP COMING BACK HERE. I CRY EVERYTIME, BUT IT IS JUST TOO GOOD 😭

[jucicat]

Skeppy has such a little amount of animatics where he is a main character..
I really loved your vid and almost cried at the end. The song choice is perfect!
