3 Strikes// Animation Meme (THANK YOU FOR 3,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!)

Ok, officially THIS is the most excited I've ever been to post something. So much has happened in such a short time!!

Wow, we have over 3,800 subscribers. That's such a large number I still can't believe we've reached it, especially so fast. Thank you everyone for joining the channel, and for enjoying my work. It's an honor to animate for so many people!

We're doing 3 Strikes in honor of 3,000! And I didn't follow the established formula at all! I found out about this meme like a month ago and fell in love with it immediately. In terms of animating it, I actually ended up replacing and redoing a large chunk of it similar to Turning Pink, and once again I like it so much more now! I actually think this is my favorite animation that I've made, I'm truly so happy with it. I hope you enjoy it too!

Characters in order of appearance are Raye, Angel, Willow, Nekro, Liza, Jax, and Maze (and Mocha the parakeet). It's a universe mash-up like Bam Bam was, back when we hit 600 subscribers. The gang's all here! :D

 

The original animation is by kittydog! It's so colorful!

Also this was inspired by Angeltheia's animation, I really don't think I would have made this if it wasn't for their video. It's sO SMOOTH!! Please show them some love, they're one of the most underrated animators I've ever encountered.

Really, I can't say it enough, thank you to everyone who's been with me since the beginning, to everyone who joined the channel recently, to Blackie for being such an inspiration, to all my illinet friends and to everyone who's left a nice comment or offered support in any way. I can't even accurately express my gratitude towards you all, you've really made this hobby of mine such a memorable and enjoyable experience. I plan to keep it up for as long as I can :)

I think that's all from me for now! Just as an update, school's almost back in session, but I'll keep working on stuff! And really, thank you all so much, you mean the world to me!

As always, thank you for watching, and thank you for reading :)

EDIT: RAYE THIS IS SO GOOD!!! showing off all your ocs, I love to see them! it’s amazingly fluid as ever and your style makes the designs so visually appealing to look at! I should tell you I’m an animator myself (this is an alt account, I don’t comment on my main) and have been practicing since 2016, so I can speak with a perspective that while not being professional is definitely experienced when I say that your animation is wonderful. You’ve got so much potential and I’m delighted to have seen you grow so much in such a short span of time. good luck! :)
