This channel is all about Harut — my original character brought to life through hand-drawn 2D animation. Most of what you’ll see here are Harut’s unique dance animations, where I study movement and push what 2D animation can do.
I’ve worked professionally as an animator for Disney, Warner Bros, FOX, HBO, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and more — but here I focus on my own work. Every dance is drawn by hand, frame by frame, to give Harut his style and personality.
Subscribe if you love 2D animation, dance animation, and original characters that feel alive.

Get the official "Off-Duty Harut" digital art download right now. He is very unimpressed, and now you can own that energy in high resolution.
Your support helps keep the animations coming (and buys Harut all the coffee he needs to keep going). ☕️

Some gesture drawings. The last one is an exercise I like to do where I just put pencil to paper and feel my way around. Letting whatever flows out happen without trying to control it. It’s very meditative.

Some more sketches. The first one of the Lakota Sioux chief is more realistic and the last one is a bit more stylized.

Based on my latest video - AI might be fast and occasionally create something accidentally funny or usable, but it’s unreliable, unpredictable, and most of the time not even close to what you ask for. Not to mention all the other harms that come with it, which I’m very well aware of.
I understand the people who are angry at me for testing out the capabilities of AI, but I also know there are people out there (the same ones we artists rely on for jobs) who are impatiently waiting for AI to replace us. Rather than quietly sit around and hope that doesn’t happen, I prefer to test things out myself and have a better idea of where things are going and maybe even help a little in bringing down the hype.
A few months ago, I was actually more fearful of AI, but thanks to these tests, I’ve seen that it’s nowhere near the hype, and I’m less fearful of it now.
If you think artists testing new technology that could potentially threaten their career is bad, I hope you also stop using all the social media sites that heavily use AI to moderate content and your feeds, and use all uploaded content to feed their AI, including the one you’re reading this on right now.

Sora (AI) Animation, Human Animation, or the AI Live action at the end?
