  • Verbalase (a UA-camr with over 5 million subs) recently had a project "leaked" that allegedly cost him $50,000. It was a Hazbin Hotel AMV and features his own avatar blushing and running from Charlie from Hazbin. It's a VERY bizarre story that is cryptic and has left people asking "why?" - why so much money? Who made this? And why was it made? Well, let's find out cause I'm too morbidly curious for my own good lol

    Trying to navigate this story with a critical lens because there are a LOT of accusations floating around on Twitter but I was able to confirm a few. All in all, a VERY weird story and a lesson in how important it is to not waste your money especially when you're asking for free animation on your channel afterwards. I imagine there will be some more info to come from this story so nothing is 100% in stone but it's a pretty odd situation to say the least

      Based on what I've heard about all this, it's on level with the kind of stuff the deviantart wonderbread guy would commission, but with less weird fetishes attached. But the fact that he's basically simping this hard for an animated character is what makes it a huge wtf for the internet.
      On the other hand, it's basically an animated fanfic with a self insert, which, while unusual and very self indulgent, isn't that weird since those get written all the time. The two big details that make people flip over it? It's an animated video that cost about $50k, and due to the info leak, is now openly and publicly associated with this dude and all he is already known for. This is the kind of thing people go at least three fake names deep for.

Some people need some specific things to be happy even if getting them may look a waste of moneys in the eyes of everyone else what matters is that moneys are made to be spent, whoever has moneys is free to choose how to spend them and as long as someone spend moneys for their own happyness and doesn't hurt anyone else I don't see anything wrong about it

    The way the art styles changes every few scenes, and how Charlie goes from being larger than him to the same size, the way she seems to morph in volume in some shots, mixed with some obvious tracing from the pilot leads me as an animator to believe that there were at least more than one animator.

Shunning them entirely only leads people to misery.

I think it was a very poorly planned music video meant to expand the brand outside of rap battles. It just doesn't make any sense why he would be talking about the video in the DM's shown like one of his rap battles, saying that the "rap battles also cost around 38k" without it being in his view another source of revenue.

Not to deride teens that are great artists, it’s just I don’t believe there are many 15 year olds (if any) that are at this skill point already. It’s not impossible but definitely improbable.

      Tbh this whole situation just kind of seems like a bunch of people not respecting someone’s right to buy something and the asking price of whoever created it. At the end of the day, even if the guy got into debt because of it, he didn’t do anything to harm anyone by commissioning the video. (If he did end up being financially unstable because of it… yeah, bad decision, but it’s not harming anyone but himself.) Animation is not only difficult to get right but VERY time consuming… I haven’t seen the whole video of course, but with just the clips shown here, and knowing that it was done in 2 months by a team, yeah, 50k sounds about right. The person I’m replying to here is a great example of this - check out the video on their channel called “Cimrai Intro Animation”, and check the pinned comment. Not only is the animation incredible, but you get to see the perspective of the person who commissioned the animation too - they were really happy with the end result, and, when you commission an artist, that’s ultimately the end goal - to be happy with what you paid for. As long as Verbalase is happy with the video, all the power to him, lol.

The more you learn when young, the more experience you can apply to your later works, and in the end the sooner you can actually progress as an artist. Constricting yourself to such ideals that you're not allowed to do anything before 18 is really stupid.

A lot of work goes into keeping spaces (e.g Discord servers) free of content inappropriate for minors. Plus with the Internet being so accessible, and minors even hosting their own projects, young artists don't lack opportunities to practice and get their stuff out there. There are also still a fair amount of adults who keep their projects open to minors with either parental consent or by keeping their spaces safe. At the end of the day, it should be up to the host, and being cautious is perfectly reasonable given that there will always be a power dynamic in adult-minor interactions. It's not about gatekeeping them from experience, it's about keeping them safe.

    Y’all I was so confused at first, I thought this dude payed 50,000 dollars to have the hazbin team make it for him 💀 All I could think was “Vaggie must be PISSED”

      @@candycane1744maybe? But I also wouldn’t be surprised if many people just simply don’t care. There are plenty of characters who are put in self insert fanfics despite the character already being in a relationship in universe. Sometimes said characters have a family of their own

    What if, what if..hear me out! He posted it himself to garner attention? He said he had it on this new channel, an unlisted video. Said someone downloaded it at some point, he deleted everything after he changed his mind...then his view start dropping and this happens? Surely this will bring him back into the spotlight, right? I mean, he doesn't even feel guilty about the amv lol. I just wonder how someone could find this unlisted video. Like, it's certainly possible to hack, it's just unlikely they would also know his new channel name it was unlisted on.

    I’ve seen my fair share of self-insert commissions, but this one takes the cake. The man paid a college student’s yearly tuition for a music vid that traced over scenes from the Hazbin pilot.
