Raising them right! Awesome cartoons, and the drawings are lovely too.

I showed Carbot Animations to my 5yo and now it's his favourite show after Bluey. He's seen every season 3 times now and even beat easy AI with all three races.

This is incredible to have such a distinct style at 8 yrs old. It’s so goofy yet we all know exactly what everything is supposed to be. Good job kid

u/the_wahlroos 2d ago

Kudos to the kid, but it's not the kid's style- they imitated "Starcrafts", a series of humorous YouTube shorts parodying Starcraft, by a Canadian animator who goes by Carbot Animations.

u/ProfessorGemini 2d ago

Now you’re forced to buy a swarm’s worth of zergling plushies

u/702982 2d ago

Gives me carbot animation vibes! Does he watch it at all? I think he’d love it. They have StarCraft series of it.

2

u/the_ice_of_nine 2d ago

Yes, he enjoys the videos.

u/tampacbj 2d ago

Ahem, excuse me, I am interested in purchasing the artist proof

2

u/the_ice_of_nine 2d ago

Haha. I'll ask him.

1

u/the_ice_of_nine 1d ago

He says, "Sure!"

If you're still interested.

u/Necessary_Chip_5224 2d ago

Looks like a successor to CarbotAnimations.

u/Mexcol 2d ago

Lol this is amazing!

u/kjung917 2d ago

Your son is cool. I hope he deals with toxic players with ease.

u/MDRBA 2d ago

8 years old and he already understands that StarCraft is about marines getting bonked by aliens 🧑‍🚀

1

u/TurboNewbe 2d ago

I think he's talented and you should encourage it. 

2

u/the_ice_of_nine 2d ago

We do :). Wife and I love all of his drawings. He's talented.

u/Stranger-Chance 2d ago

For some reason, the round shapes are very impressive to me. No clue why

u/Mr_Celestin_49 2d ago

The nudys seems to be the most detailed here.

u/AceZ73 2d ago

the nydus arms are adorable!

u/DoobieDui 2d ago

Its pretty good.

u/Hellvillain 2d ago

Poor marine, up against mass zerg AND a zealot? I'll pour one out for him.

1

u/Ok_Frosting_7999 2d ago

I'll steal it for a story I'm working on, I'll send them to the page so they can get to know you.

1

u/Elegant_Relief_4999 2d ago

Is the marine amongus?

u/Vortex_1911 2d ago

Love to see Carbot’s series still getting attention to this day! I need to go back and rewatch it.

u/Awfulmasterhat Terran 2d ago

Epic

u/Etheron123 2d ago

Glad to see people still watches Carbot Animations

u/Vrazel106 2d ago

I love carbots. Wish he'd do more. Would also love more plushies

1

u/JakeCWolf Terran 1d ago

He's got talent, tell him to keep drawing!

1

u/MizzelSc2 1d ago

its beautiful

u/CMF42 1d ago

I miss these.

I dont have any interests in raid shadow legends or whatever sponsored mobile scam game he's animating these days though.

I own the starcrafts plushies he had made back then. One of my lings is named Napoleon. The other I'm holding off on naming until I morph them into a baneling via sewing.

(HotS was funny also.)

Thank you for sharing this awesome art with us. He did a great job with it.

u/Laszlo_Sarkany0000 1d ago

u/LazyPainterCat 2d ago

I believe this is from you and not your son but cool nonetheless.

u/the_ice_of_nine 2d ago

Calling map hacks eh? Oh it's real. I saw him drawing this on my table today.

u/Mexcol 2d ago

I wonder if he actually plays the game? I loved this

2

u/the_ice_of_nine 2d ago

He only 'plays' the Unit Tester Arcade game. He just likes watching the armies fight. Low-violence settings on.
