youtubers are always like "omg you can hear the plane in the background you can hear the construction in the background" so i have to give you props in the fl studio segment for having the only background noise I've heard on youtube that's Genuinely loud and obnoxious

[Bilal_Alasha]

The Rubik's cube one was definitely the most interesting

[thegeckoisgaming]

Fun fact: you can also probably animate a walking cycle using FL Studio's built in visualizer editor

[songgie]

one thing i learned years and years ago was that if youre in MS pant, set colour one as the colour you want to change, black in this case, then the second colour as what you want it to be, pink here. use your eraser brush and hold right click instead of left click and drag your mouse across the piece. itll change the black ONLY no matter what other colours you have on the piece

I love how anything Rubik's cube related just comes back to commutators,
like you have a random puzzle you want to solve you use COMMUTATORS
you want to spend hours animating a walk cycle on a virtual cube just use COMMUTATORS
anyway very funny video Tom I really enjoyed watching it

i’ve never seen a video hit so many of my interests at the same time 🤯

[Suejamin]

This was almost hard to watch. I’d have lost my mind doing the Rubik’s cube one. 10/10.

0:25 i feel as if by watching this I've completed the holy trinity of doing things in programs where they aren't meant to be done

As a cuber, I couldn't even make a walking animation on that bro

[Fishy]

this guy is one of the people you see that have an awful update schedule but videos that always have you unable to leave, this guy's videos when i watch them, i just cant leave its just too good

small note(get it?) for the FL studio part if you do more like it, turn on "monophonic drawing" in settings -> general.

this makes drawing notes more like drawing in an actual art software. I use it all the time for quickly sketching out chromatic scales and runs and whatnot before quantizing it. super useful

[booradleyboo]

Very cool. The cube was bananas. I recall trying to get ChatGPT to create ASCII art a good while ago. The results were predictable given the technology (and similar to your results). Glad us animators aren't entirely replaceable just yet. Good to see the elliotsacoolguy shout out too.

15:03 you can also just put a dot at the start and the rest spaces, or if you wanna do it the pro way, put a "bold space" (** **) at the start, instead of a dot

You’ve honestly got some fun and creative ideas man! I wanna see this channel succeed and grow so badly. You know you should reach out and do an episode with those amazing host folks from Drawfee! Their channel is pretty big and I feel like you’d not only get some more viewers through them but really get along with them too. They do some equally fun and creative drawing ideas that you’d fit in well with, and they do co-hosts and guests all the time!

About to watch the full vid, but I love seeing YouTubeers watch YouTubers I like. Loved both the inspo vids you mentioned and Ik I’m bouta live this one

[Figureight]

That rocket ship laptop fan is screaming "MSI Laptop" so hard.

[therealtoast.]

the rubik's cube was probably the hardest and definitely the most interesting

[YSNostalgia]

The Rubik's cube animation gave me inspiration for my own creations. great work!. (:

[ethanrocha]

Underrated channel. Cool beard man draws and it’s cool.

I thought about animating in mspaint before, well, not mspaint cause I don't use windows anymore, but one of the linux equivalent mspaint programs, combined with a window manager that keeps all windows in a workspace fullscreen in a sequential stack that uses keyboard shortcuts to go back and forth through the stack.
Then either start as many instances of the paint program as you want frames, or start, like three instances and use those for frame A, frame B, and the inbetween between them and save, reload and organize accordingly.

I wouldn't have thought of doing it all in one instance of paint like you did.
