I think his new style is more psychedelic without needing to force the grotesque, it really happens all naturally. DoubleKing and Donk are really good examples that express this style tbh
CarbonMatrixify it really depends on how complicated your animation is. A few years ago I was working alone on one stop motion animation and it took me about half a year to get the first minute done. But I was also doing other stuff at the same time so
Nati Whatever Yes, but no matter how good you think he is, there are still others who are more imaginative, weird, skilled, and original/memorable... Some of this is subjective of course, as are comparing anyone/most anything in the arts. However, this is still not the best of the best, with this kind of media. BUT, it's actually not too far from the very best, tell you the truth...
I agree completely. He's a genius. Absolutely brilliant. I send all his stuff out to every one I can. I hope he gets every thing he needs to keep doing videos. He's the greatest animator of our time.
Brilliant animator. I love his work. I'm growing increasingly concerned over animators' ability to secure funding since the change in the UA-cam revenue algorithms and the decline of the independent website. I hope we see new ways for animators to fund their creative endeavors while retaining absolute creative control. I wish him the best.
Dominic Knapper it's just UA-cam should've been something better for freelance animators in terms of earning money. Not the same, or sometimes even less...
It does earn freelancers money, just not the way everyone wants. If your work is good and it's on UA-cam, outsourcing companies will find you and offer you a job that pays much better. Felix is a good animator and gets freelance work because of it. All the animators that whine about youtube ad revenue are just lazy and don't want to work professionally.
Dominic Knapper That's the whole argument though, what happened to being able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps? Why is everything a part of big business?
You know how you'll have an image of how someone you don't normally see in their work, but then you see them and they look completely different? Yeah, that didn't happen this time. This is _exactly_ the way I imagined this dude looking.
+Rhett lama I dont think that he would personally admit that to the public. It's to risky for his reputation. (Not like I have anything for or against drugs.)
I adore his work, it's so unique and every film he has made is like a snowflake, you know? Its a beautiful conglomerations of psychedelic art and story. Not to mention the music that accompanies his animations, Its all just beautiful
It's the alchemy simbol for sulphur, which has also been nominated the leviathan cross or symbol of brimstone and adopted in the 1960s by Anton LaVey, author of the "satanic bible", to represent some of satanism's principles. So basically it's all of the above.
My favorite animator, probably one of the best I know, if not the best He exposes his philosophical thoughts in his drawings Felix Colgrave, A genius ahead of his time
"I think I am only able to do what I do because of the internet." The most persuasive argument for modern information technology that I have ever heard.
I think the Elephants Garden is the most amazing thing i have ever seen. You are amazingly talented ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful visuality with us !!
Brandon Diaz It's very likely that many people who are creative in the arts have similar approaches to how they create. This much I can tell you. To do something like this, means you have to be a master of free associations, shapes and morphing shapes, the nature of dreams/possible memories of dreams, and you have to be emotionally sensitive and "open" to nature, etc. You also need to think about things in very unconventional ways, etc. In short, most people don't naturally think like this...
big fan of his work, hope he getting the resources to provide for his child and still make his own creative cartoons on the side for as long as possible
a person once said " be good enough at anything and somebody will pay you for it." with the internet, I feel this is becoming more and more of a reality. corporations and sponsors need to learn that there is a market for everything that is good. I don't like felix's style or approach in general, but the sheer quality of his product is so irresistible that I find myself loving it in spite of personal differences in taste.
He is... The very pinnacle of a visual genius. A man with an infinate imagination. I'm supposed to use a piece of art for my artist research in my source book but... I'm going to use his double King animation and him as artist inspiration because... What he makes isn't only animation. It's pure art. He has erased the border between animation and art. And I really... Frick... His work is so amazing. And he looks even better than I imagined. 😂😂😂
If I was a corporate boy I would literally just creativity and be like sell my product and give him no other direction and he'd do a better job than me
At first glance you wouldnt think that he does animations that have millions of veiws but when you look at him a bit more... You can totally think that
Felix is my favorite animate boy
Human Trash do you mean animate boi?
*it seems your name is true*
My too!!!
*boi
Me too
he looks exactly like I thought he would :)
***** Hahah, I know what you mean.
Apparently I am 10 months too late to post that comment.
Somehow, I ended up here, on the same day.
Like Animation Jesus ? :3
Well ain't THAT just the opposite of a let down x3 I remember thinking scat cat was black and I was let down :c
I really like how his style evolved from like "gross out" stuff to "cutesy" stuff while never leaving the "grotesque" category.
I think his new style is more psychedelic without needing to force the grotesque, it really happens all naturally. DoubleKing and Donk are really good examples that express this style tbh
A month a minute... thats sick, love his work
skrys A month a minute is just.....so freaking fast.

@@CarbonMatrixify depends on how many frames per second you animate (i can't be sure but i think he does like 60 or something)
"My name is Felix Colgrave and i'm an animate boi"
amazing....
truly an animate boi
I think he said animatoid
@@weezor9578 nope
And he’s the best animate boi!
Yeees welldone liar
Legends say that Colgrave animated himself
Moritz R he did
He animated himself in Double King animation mountain scene
More like reanimated, am I right lads? Lichlord Colgrave sure is a cool corpse.
For real tho
This guy is a genius. It's almost terrifying how good his animations are. Love it. I keep showing the videos to everyone. :D
yeah his work is amazing, he is for sure a great mind

Patreon is a thing now.
Most animators were working studio/freelance before youtube came around so nothing has really changed and no one really cares tbh

He looks like he's spent a year in a cave eating mushrooms
yeh that's where most of his ideas come from XD
his animations make you feel like your on mushrooms
@@mewhenthe921 Kind of yeah ... and they are just fucking amazing while on mushroom !!!
hasn't he?
With how much money he makes, it's understandable.
He looks like he like a character from his animation.
Well, he technically made a cameo of himself in Double King, so it’s canon
@@viv8404 was he the mountain king in double king??
@@viv8404 explain further, we need to see!
@@kaaru3746 In retrospective, many people think that, including me
What about his current profile picture? It looks like him

Felix is basically stoner Jesus
FlorbenGorben I would definitely like to see him comment on that...
Florbengorben he said he never takes drugs
where
more like rasputin
+Rhett lama I dont think that he would personally admit that to the public. It's to risky for his reputation. (Not like I have anything for or against drugs.)
Felix seems like a good-natured and amazing guy. He is such a stark contrast to his naturally dark-themed animations
Considering how fluid and constantly moving his work is, a month a minute is amazing productivity.
I adore his work, it's so unique and every film he has made is like a snowflake, you know? Its a beautiful conglomerations of psychedelic art and story. Not to mention the music that accompanies his animations, Its all just beautiful

the 8 people who disliked this video should probably get a snickers.
you're not you when you're hungry
He's such a genuinely kind and hard working man with fantastic creative ideas. We hardcore stan Felix Colgrave.
exactly what I thought he'd look like bless you
In almost every video he has a clip of him and his goat
@@an8thdimensionalbeing142 yep
An "Animate boy" what a legend.
I specially love how he looks like a hermit.
Come back to civilization to impart the secrets of this universe and the next through the power of big heads with grass for teeth.
My favorite animator, probably one of the best I know, if not the best
He exposes his philosophical thoughts in his drawings
Felix Colgrave, A genius ahead of his time
We love your crazy work. Hello from Russia

I think the Elephants Garden is the most amazing thing i have ever seen. You are amazingly talented ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful visuality with us !!
Felix is one of my favorite animate people on the internet
this is why i love his art. his art needs no words, it is beyond words. so lovely, it makes my soul weep with joy.
He looks like young Gandalf, and his animations are amazing... maybe he is magic...
Yes, yes I am stupid
He has googly eyes on his drawing board! :D
mifiamigahna I put googly eyes on plenty of things. Helps me remember sometimes.
The fact that his animations are created in chronological order as a steady stream of consciousness makes perfect sense.
Felix, where do you get your inspiration from? Your art is very good. It's quite different and let's us drift off into a different world.
acid
mushrooms
Turnipkin love it
Christian Saragusa love it

He's Tasmanian.

My fav druggie looking wizard, his work trips me out and I love everything that comes out of his mind!!!!!
His eyes are suspiciously red
Milan Dudi does he not look like a druggie already, I mean look at his animations.
I'll bet he smells like weed.
@@thingfish000 you disgust me
Bro I'm in animation school and I gotta tell you:
NO.

colgrave is an animating wizard better than all the rest and double king was fucking legendary

@Gaston Anny Also highly probable.
If anybody ever asks me what creativity is, I‘ll just show him a Felix Colgrave animation.
