I love this episode!! When it comes to the style of video I do, the word you're looking for is "Animatic" or "Storyboard" (When it's one frame every few seconds or so). Typically in a professional animation setting, an animatic is made first to be a blueprint to help give direction on where a project is going. Animatics are a lot faster of a process than doing full animation, which is why I do it for RUclips, but I do step further into actual animation on occasion.
I love this conversation of celebrating artists of all kinds!! Thank you!
Hi Rusty :D
Did you get to meet Skizz at TwitchCon? I seem to recall Skizz calling you out specifically on the Hermit Panel
We love you Rusty
You are definitely one of, if not THE, best. Absolutely love your work. And not just your animatic, but your Minecraft content has been fun too. Glad to see you growing in confidence and renown! Don't stop!
Hiya rustyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love your animations !
Your work has an incredible balance between realistic detail and eye-catching simplicity.
"I don't want to turn this into a tool podcast" -Skizz every other podcast
I my opinion, Tool is really boring and not a very good band
It's refreshing to not hear the "artists are born with natural talent" rant that I'm so used to. I don't think people realize how dismissive that is to how much time, work, blood, and tears goes in to perfecting a craft throughout a lifetime. Drummer, painter, poet, and everything in between.
❤ Love you guys
This is so true. I saw my then 7-yo (1997) do an exceptionally minimalist line art that depicted our cat sleeping (with his paws tucked under his chin) on the top part of the sofa. I was stunned as the few lines that were there were in perfect proportion. From that day I did everything to encourage their talent without interference. The one time I critiqued a piece, they were furious that I didn't just refrain from saying anything at all. Turns out they already didn't like the piece and I nailed what the problem was in one glance.
Additionally, there was one piece of art from a dark period in their life that was breathtaking. They used only red and black to convey their feelings. When I asked what they did with it since it disappeared from their portfolio, they had destroyed it. The purpose of that piece was them vomiting out the darkness and despair they were experiencing. I've never brought it up since. It is still vivid in my mind even after decades.
No joke, first thing I said to myself was 'Oh is he gonna mention Rusty Courage?' and as soon as I saw her animation show up in the corner I got so excited!!!!
thats the first thing i also said to myself when i saw the title of the podcast
The fact that Skizz talked about directors as artists and passes over how he creates moments isn't lost on me (also his former job as a Project Manager). Skizz, you are an artist, an artist of time and people as opposed to charcoal or pixels. Imp is an artist of seeking the good and making others happy. I hope you two see that in yourselves! At the heart of it, art creates emotion, and you two weave real emotion, therefore you are artists.
Skizz's closing "We are artists and you are welcome." That look on his face fills me with such joy. Yes you are.
It’s such a privilege to be part of the fanart making community. Being able to express how much we enjoy your content through our art is so fun. And a lot of us do it not even expecting you to see it. It’s always the hope, but it’s never the goal. We just love sharing our favorite moments with each other
There’s a Rusty and Persefida vid of the Giggs crew playing Phasmo that I absolutely adore. I love the art that the Hermits and Hermit-adjacent folks have inspired!
Hermit-adjacent haha !
Picturing Scar and Skizz having a conversation. Scar is talking about Disney. Skizz is talking about Tool. Both are just ranting not paying attention to anything the other is saying
Last season, I loved how DocM featured fan art on every thumbnail. He was also using fan art on the walls of the perimeter
You hit the nail on the head. “Translating” is the perfect word. Artists translate the odd, the weird, the exceptional into something everyone can see and feel and understand. Sometimes it’s to put forth what they feel into a medium that others can take in and for a moment see/feel what the artists do.
The segment about the fandom artists is making me smile so hard right now because I also happen to be one of those peeps (in fact I’m currently staring at my giant fan art wall that consists of 71 drawings I’ve made over the span of a year or two that are solely Hermitcraft, Life Series, or MCC related, whilst bouncing up and down and grinning from ear to ear) and I always get so freakin’ giddy when we’re recognized :3
For the reasons fans depict impulse with demon-like features, you got most of them! Definitely the IMPulse part, but also there's the fact that you were *literally* summoned onto the Hermitcraft server X'D Also personally I love the fact that demons have the trope of being evil, but Impulse is literally the nicest guy ever.... and then angels are supposed to be good but Skizz is a little stinker sometimes lol it's just really fun to play with and incorporate different traits into actual designs of the characters
If you really enjoy fanart I'd recommend an artist called Everen, especially her life series stuff because it is ridiculously good
Specifically Battle Cry: Limited Life was verrrrryyy good
Wooo hype for everen!
Yeessssss
Battle cry made me cry
YESSSS! Everen is freakin’ amazing :3
Yo Battle Cry made me sob the first time I ever saw it she’s so incredible omg
RUSTY COURAGE FAN CLUB!!!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Love to see you supporting her, but don't think we didn't know all the awesome stuff you do too!!
Yooo its cherri fireeee ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
YEAHHHHH
YES!!!!!
I enjoyed listening to you try and wrap your head around how people draw. I have several friends where I look at their art and I’m like “how did you draw that?” Then other people turn to me and are like “how do you come up with these ideas and draw them?” It’s a cycle of how did you draw that? That is the best way to describe art.
You should invite Lynxzzey to the podcast! That would be a great interview!!!! He said he wants to be on but won't ask. He was blushing to hear Impulse give him a compliment on stream yesterday!
A reoccurring line Skizz keeps saying revolving around artists being “odd” keeps reminding me of Mumbo saying to chase the weird and strange ideas. Kind of a neat, full circle moment
My favorite thing about being an animator is seeing people smile and get excited over my work.
I made a shorter animation for impulse's season 8 factory (sadly had to be privated as it did terribly) using Jono's track for it, basically recreating what I could of Charlie and the Chocolate factory opening, and was very happy to see that it had gotten a comment from impulse, as in my current community, it's VERY rare to get one from the intended Creator. In a different world, or when my current channel fails, the backup plan is to fully dive into hermitcraft & life series animations. I have about 20 pages of ideas for both series on a notebook, just waiting for something to go terribly wrong so that it can rise from the ashes.
BTW, Thank you for that comment Impluse, it made my week at the time.
Love that the clock bit is still going. lol
This is a sore spot for me: Robin Williams. He was suffering from Lewy Body Dementia, a devastating, incurable disease that was literally destroying his brain. After his death his doctor told his wife that the damage had already progressed so far that Robin was undoubtedly having hallucinations in addition to sleep disorders, cognitive impairment and the myriad of other brutal symptoms of the disease.
But according to his wife, he also had periods of normal brain function and was fully aware of what was happening to him. Robin was incredibly intelligent, and I fully believe that he made a decision to spare his family the further pain of watching his inevitable deterioration from the man they loved into a helpless stranger. I'm not arguing that he didn't also suffer from depression - I think that's well known. But I think in a period of lucidity he made a choice of grace for his loved ones' sakes.
57:03, animating every other frame is called, "animating on twos". You can also animate on Threes and Fours where you only animate every 3rd or 4th frame. Animating on twos is common in lower budget animations as you can still get decently smooth animation when there is little movement, but you also get a more stylized animation when there is more movement and it can all be done with half the work.
I think artists are good at examination - both internal and external, and that comes with a real trend toward difficult mental health. It's easier to be hard on yourself when you're a regular self- examiner, it's easier to feel hopeless about the future when you're regularly examining the state of the world to comment on it through your art. Add putting a ton of yourself into your work day in and day out, and that is a rough mental space to be in, even without any actual mental illness stacked on top.
23:17 The happening is one of my FAVORTIE movies of all time - partially because of the brutality; not because im like "ooh gore fun!!" but because of specifically when those scenes would take place. in the middle of talking to a friend, walking down the street, driving your car. Safe, normal activities and spaces were suddenly not safe anymore. It was such an invasion of safety and it hit so much harder because of it. I think a somewhat unintentional parallel would be the aftermath of trauma; someone or somewhere or something that was once safe is no longer so, and people have to be face to face with it and eventually learn to trust in this new unsafe environment/people/things.
To correlate to the subject of the podcast, i think artists are just really good at being impactful to different people. That *is* art.
43:02 i've seen references (for the Angel!Skizz thing) going back to an early Naked and Scared clip where Skizz says he's like an angel on your shoulder or something - so along with the duality of imp!impulse, theres that as well.
I will admit I 100% have a crush and animatic skizz the artist do such an amazing job
42:52 Don't ya worry Skizz!! We, the fandom, just create most lore!! Ss.Chaos (I think) talks a LOT about how/why/when someone gets drawn/written (in fanfic) in a sertain way!
Great podcast! Love seeing artists getting recognized for how awesome they are!!
Also love how it's always 11:15 in podcast land!
That clock actually shows what episode they're on! It's been off and on lately with being in the set or not but this is episode 113 so the hands are pointing to 11 and 3! I've looked back at a few others and it also seems to be pointing at the wrong time occasionally, but that's what the origin of the clock is, it ran out of battery so they started doing that.
@@vaplex ohhh, that's pretty cool. I had my noticed a pattern like that.
Skizz I would call you a conversational artist as well. You know how to create the best moments and memories with people and make it something people truly want to see. Amazing work dude.
Me looking at the clock set at 11:15: "Are they already on 113?" It's hard to un-notice things. They're going to have to get a 24 hour clock soon.
I love this episode because I like the way that they think about artists and influencers and like how there is just a Stanley in the middle of the table😂
I really like that "Make what you love, love what you make." 1:06:44
I can’t wait for the Rusty rant!
We know it's going to happen, and I am here for it
I love y’all mentioning Jim Carrey. Not only is he an amazing comic, but I think he’s a great example of how to protect yourself as an artist and comedian. He’s semi-retired now because he needs to protect himself and prioritize self care. He’s dived into his painting/art, family, and other creative pursuits rather than trucking forward in entertainment, which has led to darker paths in the lives of a lot of his contemporaries
Imp and Skizz roundtable with the Spawn Chunks. I would love to see this happen! ❤
There might have been some alluding to something there... But I agree...
I was just watching the podcast on my personal account and thought this was the perfect one to mention how you two have been my artistic inspiration! The perfectionism podcast especially gave me the push I needed to stop trying to make every project I put out perfect because that way I was never actually releasing anything. I think without that I would have never taken the dive to actually release a video - it isn't perfect but I enjoyed making it and I learned more seeing it to completion than I would have otherwise.
Thank you!
Time for another fun podcast before bedtime.. ty imp and skizzy🙃
I’m watching it before sleep too!
@@YukiShadowFSFr bro it's the best time for me and their podcast makes it even better
Impulse, I LOVED your "diatribe."
Skizz, your dream sequence was great! Hysterical!
I love this episode so much. And yes, you guys are definitely artists! You create stuff for the purpose of eliciting emotional responses, even if the only response you're thinking of is "oh, cool,"* which is as good of a definition of art as any.
*I know you already know this, but even when you're just doing something because it feels cool, you often have much more impact on your audience than that, which is also a pretty common experience for artists, whatever their medium.
Artist here. Drugs? Self loathing, issues, traumas, and frankly it helps me to have good ideas, and helps me focus. I'm not using hard drugs, any more. Just smoke herbalicious. but I have in the past.. not all, but, a lot of my creative energy comes from the intrinsic need to express or get out some way, my traumas, and escape my shitty existence by creating beauty and as close to perfection as I can. Skizz kinda had it right
the artists in this community are so cool!!
I always get so happy when the fandom artists are mentioned
it's like that's me!
Next topic on the Imp and Skizz podcast.. Teach Skizz Redstone!
Metalhead here... 5:45 - Impy said that Skizz got 2 people to check out Tool... I legit am one of the two people. lol. I saw them live at the aftershock festival in 2019 and I wish I could have enjoyed them SO much more if I had more of an open mind to listen to them prior to going. Tool gained another fan today!
I love getting home on a Friday for the imp and skizz pod cast 😊❤
You guys don't give yourselves enough credit. The first thing I thought about when I heard you talking about artists that inspired you, I thought of YOU GUYS (plus all the hermits i watch of course) watching your podcast has helped me recently make the hardest decisions I have ever made towards my life goals. I am doing things to move in a direction similar to what you guys have done for yourselves...making a career out of what you love to do. Truly inspiring
Jim carry "I was lucky Jim carry was the best character I have ever gotten to play"
What perfect timing. I've been having trouble sleeping cause I'm sick and this is the perfect distraction
Hope you feel better soon
@@Kiwimarauder Thank you! Had a rough sleep, but feeling better now!
Listening to this while at the gym 💪🏻
Favorite artist right now is Brandon Sanderson. Let’s go stormlight five hype
Journey before destination....
It’s so cool to see Skizzes Plushie up on the shelf!! That’s so cool. Skizz tell your momma you made it!
I went and saw those animations you were talking about and they are AMAZING. I can not believe I have never seen those before. They are so SO funny!
My Maynard is Marion Mahony Griffin. As an architect i've always been mesmerized by her art. So i get Skizz's drive when attached to something like the lyrics and the artistry required to create them within the "flesh" of the music.
Every artist need to be a little off. They need to see things differently and then show others your unique thoughts. Being different is not bad, it leads to greatness.
I read your comment just as Impulse said that. I agree that different perspectives are key to creating something interesting.
highlights of my week!!!
Alright you making me go listen to 46 and 2 I'll be back been awhile since I heard it lol
So many musicians among the hermits, I think we need a band
You and several other people (myself included) think that.
Ironically, the closest thing we have to that is Gem and the Scotts, and they were really only a band in name.
@@Chigger I've been watching since Season 2 of mindcrack and definitely miss BDubs singing haha
21:40 I think Impulse is thinking of Ishana Night Shyamalan, who wrote and directed a film called "The Watchers"
That's the one! Thanks :)
Ooo this title looks interesting, can't wait to lessen boys! You two are doing a wonderful job on the podcast! I can really see the passion and quality!:D have a great morning Imp and Skizz can't wait tell next week
To respond to impulses comment I am one of those people who got into Tool because of skizz talking about them on past podcasts and im so glad I did.
@30:13 You talk about Robin Williams, he was suffering with Lewy body Dementia. His Widow said that he had gotten to a point where he was imagining her cheating on him, and that was the cause of him doing what he did. (with this being a family friendly podcast, i don't want to go into details, But check out the documentary called "Robin's Wish") he was my hero, and this Documentary gave me clarity on his final days.)
Tool is absolutely amazing! My favorite of all time to guys! The lyrics moved me, helped me, and made me grow so many times in my life.
29:20 Reminded me of
"If teardrops could be bottled there'd be swimming pools filled by models"
- Billie Eillish in "idontwannabeyouanymore"
which i guess correlates to what Skizz said about artists being self loathing
new podcast to make me actually do animatic work
Thank you for this podcast. I don’t always think of myself as an artist but after this podcast I do.
I like how Skizz calls the Minecraft world "The real World" 1:04:12
I actually paused the pod to go check the Skizz fart song... yep xD True brilliance. Lol! One of the best one's I've found yet for art and appreciation is "Not your fault || 3rd Life (Desert duo animatic)" by Cactuu - I cry every damned time!
I love how the clock is still showing the episode number lol
drawing just takes practice, Skizz, like building, learning, researching, typing.... It just takes practice, and the want-to's.
I’ve been listening since the beginning, so I’ve heard about TOOL a lot. I hadn’t checked them out, but my dad mentioned his love for the band and was shocked when I knew the name and knew some of the facts I’ve learned from you guys 😂 now I love their music and so does my husband!
My wife had a 2ft round mirror that broke. She was rather bummed about it, but I took the frame and cut out a piece of wood to fit it and painted it with chalkboard paint to surprise her. I came up with a quote that i wrote on it to present to her that I'm still proud of:
"A mirror reflects the world your eyes see. A canvas reflects the world your heart sees."
SNL golden era to me was from the beginning that launched almost all the comedians into the 80s movies.
There is definitely a blessing and a curse to having a super creative mind. This is specific to those with what we call "natural talent" the creativity comes with a certain level of mental instability that can be difficult to deal with and lends itself easily to self medication to try and stabilize.
So excited to listen to this one!!
You two are the best. I'm gonna check out those shorts and maybe Tool too.
Can we have a dedicated tool podcast? The line from wings for Marie, "Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
You're going home" this is so emotionally powerful. back ground his mother Judith Marie had a bad stroke that left her paralyzed. it was 10,000 days before she passed away.
Loved this podcast! I’m watching it while bedazzling my custom for an figure skating show and I think you missed one form art, dance in the dance realm people such as dancers, figure skaters, and gymnasts convey art and emotion with there bodies and I think it’s so lovely again I loved this podcast exited for the next one and skizz I loved that dream scene!
I had a dumb idea while working yesterday and it kinda lit a fire in me and I want to see it through. The thing is, it is well beyond my skill set and will take months to learn. I don't know how committed I'll be to it, but I kinda want to give it a shot. It relates a bit to the fan animations Imp & Skizz have been talking about.
I think the reason people/artists aquate you, Impulse, with imps and nether creatures is because of the huge nether base you and Tango made together back in season 3. It was one of your largest builds in your first season and I think it left a huge impression on people. I know for a while both you and Tango were being made into imps/demons, until Tango asked them to stop. So then you kept the imp characteristics and Tango was changed to a blaze-ish creature to keep with the theme. Because how could the artists not keep you and Tango linked? A cool nether fortress as a first impression and the obvious friendship we could see between two redstoners? Not to mention the intimidating presence you give off with your chill voice, calm attidute, and impressive redstone skills offset by your generousity and kindness toward everyone around you creates a unique vibe that just fits with the character design of a being that is supposed to be bad and scary but is actually a gentle giant.
And then comes Skizz. Anyone following you would start seeing Skizz pop up more and more. Not a hermit (yet) but the clear best bud vibes you guys gave just begged artists to find some theme to connect your lore and character design. But how? He just doesn't fit the nether/imp/demon theme. Early Skizz is rarely seen in the nether. Mostly we saw him in the overworld or up in skyblock. Plus his minecraft skin design is all blue eyes and black and white color scheme. Harsh red firey nether just doesnt fit him.
Then Limited Life happened. I'm speculating here because like you I havent seen every skizz and impulse art piece out there and certainly have not been keeping track of when a character design got popular or was first used, but I really believe that Limited Life was a huge factor in why a lot of people make Skizz an angel. In a game of death and betrayal, Skizz makes an affirmation tower where he dedicates his precious limited time to complementing and building up every other player in the game. The fact that he also couldn't seem to hurt people no matter how hard he tried, was never the boogie man, and gave up his life for his team just cemented for me and others how good and kind Skizz was. I definitely started picturing Skizz as a guardian angel at least.
So there, Impulse got impified because his first impression to the fans was this huge nether build as well as his whole gentle giant demeaner. Skizz got angelified because of his clear connection with Impulse and kind way he played Limited Life.
Added bonus: I just want to say how much I love this fandom and one of those reasons being everyone respecting Tango's boundries. The faxt that artists who liced their demone Tango design found ways to reinvent and adapt it when Tango expressed it making him uncomfortable just shows how much this fandom cares about you guys. Like we actually see you as people with feelings and not just gods on a pedestal. And we care for your approval as well as your own comfort. This fandom rocks.
Im a fan of King Crimson. Danny Carey was performing on tour with Beat who performing King Crimson 80s albums.
They were in San Diego while you were at Twitchcon. I did wonder if Skizz knew this.
Great Podcast as always
Wonderful conversation, as always!
I would loveeeee a Tool episode! I am a huge Perfect Circle fan so it would be cool for me!
RUSTY is SO CLOSE TO 100k subs! Everyone go sub please!!!
my answer to how did you draw that is usually I don't know
cus like, how am I supposed to explain that, I just kinda do it lol
Impulse! Shyamalan's daughter directed "The Watchers". Another daughter of his was also in his newest movie Trap
Dude guys I watch the OG Imp and Skizz channel every night I put on any season of N&S or skyblock to go to sleep and those animations all the time
My 5 year old loves re watching the animations all the time
I'm still waiting on a new Naked and Scared
Tool is such an underrated band. Opiate is still one of my favorite albums.
A couple of Aussie artists that I really admire and I’d love to hear your opinions on are firstly a band called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (a mouthful I know, Skizz I’m sure you can appreciate that), they are a very hard working band that has produced over 20 albums in almost ever genre possible, a bit Zappa, a bit Tool influenced, I reckon you guys will dig them
An animator that I admire is Jarrad Wright, he makes a show called The Big Lez show, most of the content is for a mature audience but what I admire most is he made all the animation using MS Paint originally on a Laptop he obtained from High School, the storytelling and lore runs deep and despite the heavy substance usage is also insightful and spiritually deep, particularly in the later seasons and seeing his animation progression is great too, worth checking out if you’re open minded enough to
Tool podcast, yes please!
Buzz in Imp's mic when you talk
Less Tool, more fan art. 😂
I think Skizz would really enjoy and appreciate Rick Beato's interview with Danny Carey
And his Maynard interview (obviously)
Speaking about Jim Carrey as an artist, I'm old enough to remember Jerry Lewis in his hay day as a young teenager.. Carrey and Lewis are a lot a like in my opinion. Their reception usually went over hot or cold. You either like their style or you don't. Strange thing is I am a big fan of Carey, but not so much Lewis even though he was a master at his craft.
Skizz, if I ever meet you irl, I will talk to you about TOOL for as long as you've got
Rusty mention!!
So my art teacher from college had an interesting insight to why it's so hard to draw what you see. It's really tough to tell your brain to draw what your eyes see, and not what your brain is telling you what you're seeing. Like, our brain likes to short cut things. We all know what an eye looks like, and it's a general symbol in our brain what is an eye. But if I were to try and draw someone's eyes, that I see, you really have to tell your brain to stop showing your minds eye it's symbol for eye and just what you're seeing in front of you.
I realize using an eye as an example might have been covering but hopefully you get the meaning. There are people out there that are just really good and telling their brain to cool it and can draw what they see vs what their brain is telling them that they're seeing.
Am I the only one who hears buzzing when Impulse talks since they mentioned it in the beginning?
Still on first few minutes, but there seems to be little ongoing buzz in the background(faint but persistent). Maybe Impulse or Skizz can check it out. Rare for me to comment, so I would like to say love the podcast. Hope to see more!
I looked up tool and didn't know where to start but where I did click at songs the sound was so different to what I typically used to that it makes me want to explore more
forty-six & 2 is the only Tool song I've actually heard, funny enough! i didn't know it was so deep :O
