Heya! π Just thought I'd let you guys know that I probably won't be able to keep up the amount of uploads I've been making, because college/university is starting soon, and I'm going to be really busy. I have a little bit of a backlog of content, and I usually only upload once or twice a month anyway, so you probably won't notice the change that much immediately, but it's possible that I won't be able to animate for a while and I might end up going a month or two without publishing any videos.
...That won't mean that I'm gone, though! I'll definitely try to make more when I get the chance, because I have SO many ideas that I really want to make a reality, and I'm not giving up on them because of school. However, schoolwork comes first, and my time is limited, so that's why my channel might be taking the hit.
However, I'm considering starting a Patreon, in order for me to be able to afford the time to make more content when I'm not doing schoolwork, and for you to have the opportunity to get more content when I'm not uploading a full video on YouTube! (Also, I haven't set it up yet, but it will probably be pretty cheap to join, because I get that a lot of my audience might be about as broke as me, haha π
) On the Patreon, I would likely give early access to all/most videos, behind-the-scenes stuff, WIPs, comics, art, and more! *Please* let me know if the Patreon is something you might be interested in, because I might not end up creating it if no one would actually even want to join.
TL;DR: There may be a few less videos for a little while, but I'm thinking of starting a Patreon!
Thanks so much for reading this, and for being patient!
Your support means a lot, so I really, *seriously* appreciate you being here and watching my channel! βΊοΈ
You're awesome!!!
...Have a drawing I made of Luz going to the University of Wild Magic! (She selected ALL of the majors, so she'll probably be even more busy than me! XD)

NEW ANIMATION COMING THIS WEEKEND!!!
I created a poll a few weeks ago to try to figure out what to make next, and "Huntlow kiss animation in the style of the show" won, so........ that's what I made! :D
I did my best to make it as close to the style of the show as I could, but I only have very limited animation tools, so it was a big challenge and it's not quite right, but I think it's close enough.
Anyway, if you wanted a canon Huntlow kiss in the show, this is as close as I can do, so feel free to check it out when I release it this weekend!!
As always, thank you for your patience (animation takes AGES)!
And I hope you're doing well! :)
Enjoy this gif of Hunter simping and being a shy bi guy.

Happy final day of Pride Month!!!
I hope that you've had a beautiful, happy, and safe month, despite the oppression and setbacks that the LGBTQIA+ community currently faces. To celebrate the last day of the month, and to hopefully give you something to remind you to keep being proud and fighting for what's right even after Pride Month is over, I decided to upload the artworks from my recent TOH speedpaints here, so that you can download them and use them as phone backgrounds/wallpapers, if you'd like!
Unfortunately, I can't upload super high-quality images on YouTube, but hopefully it will be good enough, anyway!
Also, there's a glitch with the posts where if I put all of the wallpapers in one post, it only uploads them in square format, so I can only make a post with one of them at a time. So, for now, I'm just uploading my most recent speedpaint's artwork. Let me know in the comments of this post if you want to have a background from another of the Pride Month speedpaints, and I'll make a temporary post JUST for that background, which you should be able to download the full version from.
Whether you're interested in the backgrounds or not, I hope you're happy and doing well!
Don't forget that we're stronger together, and light will always win over darkness!
HAPPY PRIDE!!!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR 2K SUBSCRIBERS!!! ππππππππππ
I did not expect my most recent video to do as well as it's done, but I'm so excited that it's found more of you! Thank you SO much to everyone who has subscribed, both recently and longer ago--- I really appreciate each of you, and the support you give me seriously motivates me to keep making and sharing my animations and art.
Entertainment is nothing without an audience, so thank you for bringing more meaning to what I do, and interacting with me and my videos through commenting and/or liking them! Even when I don't respond to your comments, trust that I read them and appreciate them. You guys are the best, and thanks for joining me on this nerdy, creative journey. :)
I'll be posting some more Pride Month speedpaints this month, as well as another short animation I've made, and I've got lots of ideas for more videos in the coming months (I'll probably post a temporary poll soon for you guys to help me choose what to do next).
Also, I've made some celebratory art featuring Willow, because my recent Willow animatic has brought a lot of you new subscribers here. :D
Thanks for watching, and thanks for everything!!! <3

COMING THIS SATURDAY!!!
I'm premiering the Willow animatic (which I mentioned a few days ago) on Saturday at 11:00AM EDT! π BE THERE, OR BE... uh, not there, I guess! But it would awesome to have you, so please try to make it if you can! π
Also, βͺ@TravellingTortugaβ¬ correctly guessed what song this animatic will be featuring: it's "Surface Pressure" from Encanto! Good guess, pal! :3 It's probably my favorite song from that movie, and one that I think suits Willow really well.
Also, I just thought I'd mention here that I'm planning on posting some speedpaints of LGBTQIA+ characters throughout Pride month, because, being queer myself, I LOVE how many LGBTQIA+ characters are in The Owl House, and I want to celebrate them! The world has been pretty crazy and terrifying recently, and I think it's especially important to recognize the importance of representation in media like this, now more than ever.
So stay tuned for those! And feel free to watch the first one I've released, if you haven't already: www.youtube.com/shorts/kmi4Nh...
Oh, and this promo art I made for the "Surface Pressure" animatic is based off of some promo art Dana Terrace made for the episode "Understanding Willow," so, if you're a super big TOH nerd, like me, it might look familiar! :)
Anyway, hope you're doing well, and hope to see you at the premiere!!! <3

NEW ANIMATIC COMING SOON!!!
I've been working on a new, Willow-centered animatic for about two months now, and I would have finished it last month if I hadn't hurt my dominant hand from over-use. π
But, after giving my hand as much of a break as I could, I've managed to work on it a bit more, and I'm hoping it finish it and publish it by early June.
I've had a lot of fun working on this animatic, and it's been great to feature a character that I haven't focused on very much before, and give her the appreciation she deserves. Plus Hunter and Gus are along for the ride, and I've SO enjoyed drawing the "Emerald Trio" interacting!
I won't tell you what song it's featuring yet, so it's a surprise, but I WILL give you a hint: it's from a (actually good) Disney movie! Feel free to guess in the comments!! :D
Anyway, here's a gif from one of the scenes as a teaser! β¬οΈ

Happy 2 Year Anniversary of Watching and Dreaming!!!
I seriously can't believe it's been TWO WHOLE YEARS since The Owl House ended! Time really flies.
I made this art in tribute of the occasion! Hope you like it! :3

BONUS CONTENT!!! :D
I just released the full episode of Becoming The Golden Guard, and I wanted to let you know that it includes β¨exclusive bonus contentβ¨ that isn't in the other parts:
- I animated a full intro, which was really fun to create, and I hope will be just as fun for you to watch!
- In the end credits I share a bunch of my concept art!
Additionally, it's timestamped, so you can navigate directly to the bonus content, and to any of the parts! (So, if you haven't watched any/some of them yet, feel free to watch them there!)
And even if you aren't interested in any of that, I'd appreciate you giving it a view and a like or a comment anyway, because it's a long-form video (over 38 minutes!) and the YouTube algorithm really doesn't like those.
Thanks so much!!! :)

COMING NEXT SATURDAY at 3:00 PM EDT!!!
I actually had more free time this week and was able to finish up this part sooner than I thought! (Over the past seven months of working on this project, I've learned that I'm really bad at judging how long animation will take me! Lol!)
Also, I'm making it a premiere again, so I'd really appreciate it if you can try to be there, and get to watch it LIVE for the first time and chat! (But no pressure if you can't make it! I totally understand. Getting to watch it with you guys is just super fun for me---and you, I hope!---so, I'd absolutely love it if you can!) Make sure that you're comfortable and get some water and a snack if you do come, though, because this part is roughly TWO times longer than the others!
And fyi, the premiere date/time is possibly subject to change, so please stay tuned for any updates!
Again, thanks SO MUCH for sticking with me through the long wait for this part!
Your support means more than I can say! <3

IT'S COMING THIS MONTH! (Sneak peek at "Becoming The Golden Guard Part 3"! )
I animated this particular clip of animation a few months ago, but I thought it would work well for a little teaser. :)
I'm super close to finishing animating the final part (I've still got to edit it and add music after I finish, though), and I'm 98% confident that it will come out this month! I've been working extra hard on it and I think it's been worth it--- I seriously can't wait to share it!!
Anyway, just wanted to give you an update! Thanks so much for sticking around and giving me the encouragement to work on this massive project!
I'll probably post the date of the premiere within a couple of weeks! π

Just a nerd who loves to draw and animate! Most of my content is related to fandoms I'm a part of, or about original characters.
Whatever type of content you came here for, though, I promise there will be more of it eventually. :)
You can call me Callisto, or Cal!

I try to publish a video about once a month (or more!), but my schedule may vary. Thank you for your patience!!
