Universe of Sprite Animations.
Hi! I make What-If sprite animations for fun, as a hobby. Particularly Dragon Ball ones!
Sometimes you'll even see JoJo, Marvel, DC or more popular franchises.
All my What-Ifs have interesting lore behind them, so the characters don't just fight for the sake of a fight. but have an actual reason to.

Hello! Here I am with a nifty Q&A and FOUR heavy-lore screenshots! The upcoming animation is going to be packed with A LOT of head-canons, but since Super Hero gave zero explanations about… well, many things, it’s been inevitable haha. Honestly, it really let me get creative, so it's been a great chance to really put in some lore!
I know this project has been taking a lot of time, and I say this every time, and I will keep saying it: *Thank you* for your patience and support, it will be worth it! Finding motivation can be a real issue, but nevertheless, it’s slowly making progress. Regarding the Q&A part, try to ask any questions and I'll try my best to answer what I can in the comments! :D

Yo guys! Got a few updates for you regarding [What-If #21]!
• I know how much you love the infographics I include in the animations, so I’ve been thinking of a really solid way to give a valid reason for the “Beast” transformation (which has been tough, not gonna lie haha).
Originally, I was going to go with the idea that Gohan training under Piccolo over time sort of “infected” him, giving him a more demonic appearance similar to the Demon Clan. However, I think the reasoning is going to be a bit different now, or maybe a mix of both. The explanation I’m going with for “Beast,” will, as the movies and statements indicated, tie into Gohan’s Rage, something we’ve seen multiple times before in the Saiyan and Cell Sagas.
I will attribute Beast's demonic appearance to the Elder Kai's magic. Because the Elder Kai's Shinjin race originates from the Demon World, it somewhat 'corrupted' the essence of Gohan's Rage, which first manifested back in the Cell Games as a Super Saiyan 2, thus making 'Beast' take on a similar appearance, though it is not, exclusively, a Super Saiyan transformation.
• Watching Gohan control his rage while retaining his intelligence against Cell Max has helped Broly overcome his own berserk state, allowing him to finally control his Super Saiyan transformation. I believe the manga, before it entered hiatus, hinted at a close connection between Gohan’s and Broly’s respective demeanors and power-ups, and I wanted to reflect that in the animation.
• Many major parts of the animation are already complete (I'd say above 80% has been animated), the animation itself, the 3D stages, even most of the sound effects as well had been applied to that. The What-If segments, though, aren’t finished in chronological order yet. There are still some in-between scenes and extra details that need to be added so everything flows smoothly. Picking up motivation to work on this What-If has honestly been really tough (After this, I think I’ll go back to the previous 2D Sprite Animations, I’ve got more inspiration for those), But I’m steadily working on it, and it's going to be amazing, I'm doing everything at a healthy pace, so no need to worry. I still don't know of a release date since my pacing has plenty to do with the inspiration and motivation I mentioned above, which I had been lacking, but it *is* making progress.
I want to finish this just as much as everyone wants to see it finished, and mark my words, I will finish it! I really appreciate all your extreme patience with me through this. I promise it’ll be worth your time.
Love you guys and be well! I’ll also try my best to answer some questions about the story if you have any here in the comments! Feel free to suggest things as well, I always love to read your ideas! :D

*SECOND VIDEO PREVIEW* OF THE UPCOMING [WHAT-IF 21], GOHAN, PICCOLO AND BROLY VS A "PERFECTED" CELL MAX, IS UP FOR YOU TO SEE! www.youtube.com/shorts/WnDA7x...
Once again, I'd love your feedback about what you think about this experimental style in the comments below! This isn’t a full shift in style! I’ll still be creating more animations in the 2D classic pixel-art style!! (Sadly there weren’t any existing 2D sprites for Cell Max, Gohan Beast, or Orange Piccolo, so this style let me animate what would’ve been impossible otherwise, and it lets me animate with all sorts of angles as well!) Stay tuned for more!! 🍺

Yo guys! Know that I'm alive and kicking, it's just that life's been getting a bit in the way. Been trying to complete my Computer Science degree. Have had two major finals coming up, one of them I passed, and that was the hardest one! Next one is in mid-September. So I'm sorry that I've been less responsive, but know that right now I'm focusing on bringing What-If #21 together without neglecting my studies, and like you, I'm super excited about it. Trust that this is always on my mind, in a healthy way, no extra stress and no need to worry. Love each and every one of you, and thank you for the support as always! 🍻

Hello everyone! I’ve been feeling nostalgic, missing the channel’s older crossover episodes content for a while. So I felt inspired to tackle a certain match-up. I present an upcoming project: Omni-Man vs. Homelander, with my own unique take, story, and fight on it. I’ve pushed my creativity to the max on this one, and the best part: I expect it to drop quite soon. Thank you for your amazing patience and support, and let me know what you think in the comments! Stay tuned! 🍺
