Cosmohedron | Animated Short

This feels like an animation that you'd see on Adult Swim at 3am. The acid-trip style and overall vibe is really reminiscent of a lot of different artists they've featured. Absolutely can't wait to see what you put out in the future.

I'm high asf rn and watching this, bro showed the whole evolution and the universe's mystery

Duncan took the whole "create a universe" thing seriously. Reminiscent of a DMT breakthrough. Fantastic art, probably one of the best pieces ive seen in years.

This is an absolute masterpiece and criminally underrated. One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen in years.

To stumble upon such an amazing piece of animation so early is a rare gift; your work here is amazing and you should be proud of it!

this is an amazing hidden gem of animation, my best wishes that more people get to see this.

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.

Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress..saved my life.

Fantastic work, an utterly enjoyable ride from start to finish. Reminds me a bit of Felix Colgrave, which should be taken as high praise, and I think I detect a hint of perhaps some Moebius inspiration in the creatures, so I'm a big fan of the overall aesthetic. The music and sound design were excellent throughout as well. Stoked to be your only 16th sub, as I reckon if you can keep putting stuff like this out, you'll have a heck of a lot more subscribers soon enough!

This is not hobby material. This is career material!! I hope to see more from you, I think you could do something with this!

This is absolutely beautiful. The animation style is spot on, the artwork and scene designs were amazing and very appealing, the music and sound production was downright perfect, the story was very enjoyable as it went along and your sense of humour and your use of comedy was top tier. You should be very proud of yourselves. You have produced something truly incredible. You guys really have some talent here. I hope that we all get to see some more content from you in the near future.

The broad and expansive story telling/world building in this one video alone is something major Hollywood studios need to study on. Plus all the animation details is something to marvel at. Definitely something I needed that randomly came up in my recommendation cuz lately my recommended have been getting dry so I’m glad I was introduced to this. Love the art style and can’t wait to see more work from u.🙌🏾✨🔥🔥

This is the type of a sober drug trip animation you'd see on adult swim, and it's so well animated! Good job :]

That was absolutely incredible, the fact that this doesn't have millions of views is a crime

Absolutely amazing! The smooth movements, the style, how everything transitions together, the muted yet saturated colors…beautiful. And so much imagery and symbolism to unpack! Truly felt like a good trip.

that ending made me laugh out loud. it got so beautiful for a second and then you masterfully bring up elements that were set up what seems like ages ago
10/10 cartoon. people like you make me so thankful to be alive. what an amazing feeling to be able to look at something so creative and personal and feel it resonate with me

Always great to discover hidden gems like this one, this goes straight into my playlist of animated art. Amazing skill and creativity, keep it up!!

For someone who has had the fortune, of not only escaping the rat race six months ago. But, also to have only spent 6 years shackled within it, this piece of marvelous art of yours, brought a massive smile on my face. Thank you dude, and keep up the great work! 👍🏻 😃

You definitely know how well you, Tom and Noah have done with this piece of art. You’ve put lots of time into this. I really like your style of animation. It seems like you have a distinct way of making things move that’s unique and I really enjoyed that.

This was so amazing it made me cry, there are few positive things you take away from being on your phone and this is one of those positive things.
Thank you ❤

This is phenomenal! I really love the story that you created. In a strange way it's very understandable, a fantastic description of the mystery of reality.

That was Fucking brilliant - the themes were so seamlessly woven together. one image and scenario flowed so well into the next that you scarcely realised the missing link between all of them was present right at the beginning. And all that without using any words? Bravo my friend. A stunning piece of work, not just visually, but poetically and narratively too.

I love your transitions between wildly different environments that don't feel jarring or disjointed at all. I also love this mechanical flying bird-harvesting machine that eats the crops it picks. Very cool stuff.

I came across this by absolute chance. Something about the thumbnail art intrigued me enough to give it a chance. I press play not expecting much at all, thinking I’ll be clicking away in no time. With each second that passed, I was pulled deeper and deeper into this truly imaginative and at points, creatively inspired madness. The green being with the wispy tentacles and those eyes that would almost bubble to the surface of its flesh………… A masterpiece!!!
Great work to the team that brought this all together. Hopefully the success of this piece will lead to much, much more!!! We can only dream!
🏔🦉🏔

Brilliant animation. The creativity, the symbolism. I stumbled onto this video and it was lot of fun to watch!

Remarkable. Very smooth animation work. Reminds me in some parts of Felix Colgrave yet everything has it's own flavour. I absolutely love it ❤

Holy goodness gracious .. This is truly fabulous DUNCAN! Really love it, and keep spotting references as I work through it. Fantastic achievement, I love everything about it dude...

the animation style here is so fluid, you can perfectly sense each characters weights and motion realistically

This opened my third eye! Of course, I was then immediately consumed by a vacuum bird.

Insane to just stumble into this absolute masterpiece of art first thing after work. The way it speaks on the multiverse is so well put together, that it feels almost like some primal truth, like something humans had always known but have forgotten. Incredibly rare feeling to be able to capture in media. AND the pacing was incredible! Magnificent work!!!!!

One of the best animations I've seen on KRplus. Super creative oozing with personality.

This video just restored my faith that you can still discover amazing new work on the internet. Literally clicked thinking, oh something original! And boy was it worth it. Thank you for this!

Really nice animations! Especially the morph from tadpole to frog

What an outstanding short. Criminally underexposed!

I love this! You're such a good storyteller! just getting a glimpse into this world. It all makes sense! I too hope to see more from you again!

Awesome! What an incredible journey, loved every minute of it too. Thanks so much for creating and sharing it with us!

Oh hell ya. Right up my ally, love the animation style.
I look forward to watching your stuff on Off The Air

This is epic. What a great journey!

Bro comes out with these bangers once every 6 years

Oh my lord this is so unbelievably good! Please keep making more stuff like this 💗

wow, it's 5:30 am and i've got plans in the morning, and i just stumble across this? this animation is beautiful, you seriously outdid yourself here. this animation was such a journey and just took you on what felt like hours of fun adventures through the span of 7~ minutes. thank you for sharing your creation, im sure others will love your work just like i. :)

Everybody put your ganja goggles on for a 20/10 experience

And just when the farmer appeared and I was wondering what happened to all the previous characters we saw they just showed up, and I got my closure. Thank you xD.
I loved every second of it!

The colour grading alone is fantastic. Really glad KRplus recommended this to me and I look forward to more.

Amazing work, also great sound selection.

This was so well done, great job!

Found this on my first trip and couldn't be more thankful. What an amazing gift!! Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you.

Excellent!!!
Thank you for sharing!

So trippy but it's so clever.... well done in making this.... very esoterical but it still sends a message :)

very high rn this a legit piece of art that had thought and time through it and it shows

I'm so glad the youtube algorithm put this in my feed. I hope more trippy or and Intricate design comes out of this channel

Woah, the sound design on this is amazing as well. Everybody go back, put your headphones on and watch again

So cool Duncan, you have an incredible imagination and talent! Hope you keep making content for us ❤

These animations are kick ass dude! Like someone else said, definitely looks Felix Colgrave inspired.
The previous one reminded me a bit of Love & Theft too.
Keep it up man, it looks like you’re finding the kind of crowd that can really groove on this kind of stuff (me included)

The color theory and technique is very strong in your work, I do see a hit and miss on somethings but symbolism doesn't always speak to everyone in everyway, so I leave it as that.
you do great work and your fundamentals are hella strong. Keep it up

I like how the first guy in the beginning is listening to the retro encabulator. Very resourceful thing to have on.

micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 4years, being incapable of work for the last 2years.
In shot summary I became depression free within a couple of months and still I'm 6months later it saved me.

I really loved this :) especially the way Zeus and Gaia are on tinder or whatever dating app before such a fun way to transition into the crash. Really profound and hard to verbalize everything I got out of it

Standing Ovation! Yes! Thank you for making this wonderful film! 💖💥💖

This is incredible. Brilliant 'vibe' and style and detail and so perfectly continuous.

Incredible work, I'm quite sure your channel will pop off soon. Let me know if you have any interest in being interviewed for a project I'm working on, basically asking artists how they feel about AI as it's emerging. Keep up the great work!

That was incredible, love the colours and creature designs. That bird was awesome. How did you create the assests? What software did you use?

That was excellent I've never seen a cartoon that resembles being on acid like this one.

How you managed to sum up all of the ideas and experiences I've had on acid IN 8 MINUTES is beyond me. But I really, really love this!

What the fuck how the fuck does this not have more fucking views are you fucking kidding me this is ridiculous. This has to be one of the most entertaining, mind melting, universe altering, peace of moving pictures. I can’t believe that this doesn’t have more recognition in the greater animation community.
Now, I am aware that I am over praising this piece of animation (mostly because I am a sucker for psychedelic imagery and honestly I would’ve preferred just a piece of animation that is nothing but surrealist, abstract patterns) but the shit still is pretty good. I love the use of humor and the seemingly unconnected series of events. And the twist at the end wear it combines all the parts together. The humor as a whole is pretty quality but personally I’m not the largest fan of the adult swim ask mentality of surrealist/absurdist humor. Except I didn’t necessarily mind it in this piece. Overall fantastic work and I am highly disappointed that this does not have more attention.

I need like a 4h version of this to throw on a projector at a party. So trippy, so cool, and the end made me laugh out loud.

Love the story. And a visual delight! Thank you!!!!

Your hard work paid off man. This is incredible!!

I really loved this animation and was so surprised to see how little views it had! I really hope the algorithm picks this up soon. I definitely see some influence from Felix Colgrave but you really turn it into something unique and the sound design and music is impeccable. Overall I only have praise for this.
How long did it take you to make this?

Hi Duncan I animating your characters saving multiverse
With everyone's characters killing evil purple things going on too. Are you alive. :'(

I love this a lot. Thank you for putting so much effort into sharing it with us.

this is absolutely incredible. really cant wait to see more from you.

Excellent!👌 I’m excited to see more of what comes out of this unique head of yours

So many great moments in this. Love the nod to Sisyphus!

This was indescribably well done and funny too- I really needed this today. Thank you so much! Good luck.

absolutely incredible. you are inspiring, and your art is astonishing ❤

Forgot to say, I love this. So fantastic and incredible work. Amazing!

This is incredible and so inspiring! Perfect payoff at the end too- well done this is great work.

Genuinely the best thing I’ve watched in years

Randomly found this and couldn’t be happier I clicked love it! Like some trippy fantasia keep it up man

This is so incredible. One of the best videos I’ve seen in a really long time

actually so beautiful, thank you for this gift to humanity

This is amazing man. The spiritual and physical intercourse is a great note to end it on too.

You tube knows exactly when I'm stoned and what to feed my brain of in these moments.
Ain't it sort of both amazing and scary?

Dude, idk how I found this, but I’m so fucking glad I did.
I can’t even. Thank you. Just fucking thank you.
This shit is mind-altering.
Good show.

just... wow! What an incredible animation. I which you to keep it going as long as you enjoy it and give joy to all the people. A big thanks.

had no idea what I clicked on but I was in for a treat, that was so good what a cool piece of art!!!

animators are the most underrated people on youtube

Beautiful piece of art, truly unappreciated. You brought an imaginative experience that was refreshing with this animation. I really did quite enjoy this work, and will share it; keep creating beautiful works my friend.

I love this!! It's so creative!! Keep up the good work, it's super unique and keeps me thoroughly entertained

Love the ending especially man, thank you!

This was very pleasantly inspirational, you got a new fan here mr Hatch

You are gifted, thank you for sharing this with everyone.

This was so beautifully insane and well done!!

This has spoken to me in ways i cant describe, multiple references to things ive thought about in the past on a much deeper level than i shouldve at that age. Thank you

So AWESOME!!!! Congratulations! The ending is just perfect as well!!!!

an absolutely fantastic piece of art, thank you very much! You made my day in a way.
If I was to explain whats this video about, I would say it teaches one not to focus on job or responsibilities too much, but to try to see the big picture, to imagine the world all over again, to invent, to actually think outside the box, and to relax.

"Tell me you're a tripper, without telling me you are a tripper" absolute awesome animation!!

Im screaming!!!! The reference to retro encabulator at the beginning 😂

Such a magical experience! The absolute genius that has to be behind the production if this video is insane😊❤ love it
