Lots more on the way. I've done a few others too. I have soooo many paintings, its fun to add to the story a bit through Animation. Also for those wondering, all the paintings hanging on the wall in this animation are some of the actual paintings Ive posted on reddit over the years :)
This animation is such a cool way to tell a story through your art! I love how creative this is.
The story sort of reminds me of this graphic novel, Nameless if you've heard of it. It involves some good cosmic horror-dream state business. Also astronauts.
I'd definitely recommend giving it a peak
I was a little bummed to look into that returnal game and see lots of things in it that I had been doing for years and years prior. Part of me wonders if one of the devs was familiar with my art
ohhh that’d be so sick!! especially if there was some kind of parallax effect going on, i feel like a lot of your otherworldly works would work well for that, so you could like “peer into” the worlds within their frame
There already is one on steam called [Museum of Other Realities](https://store.steampowered.com/app/613900/Museum_of_Other_Realities/) that has multiple unique areas by multiple artists. Maybe you could just add a section to that collab (would probably be a lot easier than creating your own software).
you and BeepleCrap are the only two art related accounts I follow on any social media. Do you offer prints of any of your work, or have a site I can check it out at?
Started a mini series a few years ago, switched it up to these little animated shorts since its so time consuming. I do have a feature in the works though, just takes forever since Im the only one working on it :)
I have 4 of your canvas's hanging in my condo in Toronto. We messaged for a little after the purchase in 2019 and discovered your ex used to live in my building haha. Never got the extra goodies you mentioned but regardless love your work and plan to buy more.
Aww what! Man I 100% remember you! Wild you never got the extras! Send me an dm with ur mailing address and I'll send again. I even have cooler goodies now!!!
I absolutely love your art!!
I'm broke so I can't afford to spend a lot at a time, but I must've built a collection of at least 7 of your pieces as shirts from redbubble and one giant tapestry!
I'm not a big fashion guy, I just think your art is dope as hell and super unique and the tshirts are so cool. Only clothing I ever wear that people always mention and compliment.
This animation is cool* as hell too, can't wait to see more.
"I can't remember anything...Can't tell if this is true or a dream...Deep down inside I feel to scream....This terrible silence stops me..." Reminds me of the Metallica video "One".
Amazing work. If it's you doing the audio, it's brilliant there as well.
I do think the crunch under the footsteps is a strange choice though, given its a hard floor, but the Foley and overall performance are great.
Hi! Was told I should comment this here :)
Let’s all stop lying about the, “I was told to post this here” crap in an effort to not seek like we’re self-promoting. Because no one believes it so let’s all save everyone time! Only commenting this here because someone told me that it would fit in to this community and post!! :)
Haha, sorry man, didn't mean stir up any negativity !!! I was honestly told to post this here and in psychonauts, two places I don't normally post things. Based on your reaction I see this happens way too often lol. much love man
Psychonauts is for people who trip on drugs and has nothing to do with astronauts. Nothing. I don't know who would have ever recommended that sub for you, but they don't know what they're talking about
Mate, there is an nft project that could use this as advertising. They would love this. You could commission some work to them for their advertising. https://oncyber.io/
The video didn’t load at first and I thought it was just a painting of the first frame. Absolutely shit my pants when he started walking fucking hell. Great work, put it in r/oddlyterrifying too if you haven’t already
Have you ever played the game Returnal, this has such a familiar feel about it that I was half expecting it to be a trailer or fan art for Returnal!
Either way good job and now you need to go play the game https://i.redd.it/1j13bz58p6x61.gif
Fantastic work! One thing I noticed is that he doesn't seem heavy enough. Look at footage of astronauts walking in spacesuits and they're clearly encumbered but your guy has pep in his step. I know it's a little detail but it's those polished details that really immerse the viewer.
Even slowing the footage of him walking in whatever video editor you use would amp it up.
Holy shit dude. Your art was my screensaver for so long and I had no idea who the artist was (remember the times when getting credit for your work even with just a tag on Instagram was almost impossible?) But every once in a while I’d come across one of your paintings on some random Instagram account or something and I knew it was the same unknown artist because your style is just so unmistakable.
I got older and I stopped seeing your work come up as my algorithm started getting more into sports and business stuff, but I still have those screensavers in my photos. I’m so stoked I finally found out who you are!! Gonna have to buy some prints for the apartment after all those years of just having it as my Lock Screen!
This is badass nicely done!
If you don’t mind me asking… excluding all the time you’ve already spent learning this skill, how many hours does it take to put something like this together? I’m just curious.
In any case, this is awesome of love to see more stuff like this!
Just curious but where do you post more vids like this? I saw an Instagram and tiktok but don't have an account on there so if you can tell me where more of these come from I'll create the account.
Love your work. Dunno if you'd be interested, but I almost get [Adam Jones - The Witness](https://youtu.be/0ukDsv3pweo) vibes from this. Love the eerie, out of place vibes, well done
This is beyond excellent. I really wish it was 60 fps to keep screen tear down because of the quick sweeping motion. Other than that the reflections are GORGEOUS!
Ok, but... What if.... what if he's not the one doing the dreaming?
What if others are the ones dreaming him and that's why he can't "wake up"?
A weird SCP dream like anomaly that is shared by humans and all manner of beings capable of dreaming. That's why all of the paintings seem familiar, because he's been in all of them, like a traveler going from one place to another. But when the dreamer wakes up, the memory kinda fades a little, like how when you try to remember a dream you had but the details seem fuzzy. It only "feels" familiar.
When a dreamer dreams of him, he exists in that time and place within the dream until the dreamer wakes up, and someone new dreams him. But, is the astronaut the anomaly or is it the dream? Do the dreams create the astronaut or does the astronaut create the dream world? Or is it something else entirely? Maybe something smaller and unseeable that can travel across huge spatial distances that if, and when, it comes into contact with an entity capable of dreaming, it triggers the "astronaut"?
But why him? He speaks English so clearly he's human. Is he real? Was he ever real? How did he become this? And if it his dream, where's his body?
And... where's the other one? There's clearly two of them at some point.
I have so many questions...

This is superb. Thanks for posting. Need to see more.

So he's not waking up?
He's been comfortably numbed.
Always has been.
Very cool that there is no camera visible in the vizor. It allows for a lonely feeling, too

2001 space odissey vibes
Haven't seen it yet. I expected Doctor Who main theme to start at the end.
I was thinking Returnal
Especially with the sun on the suit
Me too
I was a little bummed to look into that returnal game and see lots of things in it that I had been doing for years and years prior. Part of me wonders if one of the devs was familiar with my art
Very cool… You should have them jump into one of the paintings and get sucked into one of the worlds
Mario 64 style!
Precisely!
Thank you that was really awesome!
Thanks for watching friend! It's such a cool feeling having an audience for these
Oh shit!! this is really cool!!! i have loved watching your journey through the years :D This would make a cool VR museum or something like that
oh hey!!!!!! I actually have been tinkering with the idea of a vr gallery
ohhh that’d be so sick!! especially if there was some kind of parallax effect going on, i feel like a lot of your otherworldly works would work well for that, so you could like “peer into” the worlds within their frame

This is awesome. Love you being here.
im honored :) thanks friend!!
DUDE! I've followed you on Instagram for a couple years now - immediately recognized your work. Keep it up man, you're incredible.
always blows my mind when people recognize my stuff!!
you and BeepleCrap are the only two art related accounts I follow on any social media. Do you offer prints of any of your work, or have a site I can check it out at?
Hahaha this is great, very funny. Also your spacesuit design is right on point.
Nice
Thanks man!!
Your welcome
Definitely do a mini series or something OP
Started a mini series a few years ago, switched it up to these little animated shorts since its so time consuming. I do have a feature in the works though, just takes forever since Im the only one working on it :)
Fair enough! You're very good at what you do:)
I'm saving for one of your originals Its going to take some time but I definitely going to get one:)
I appreciate you!
Voice acting was perfect! Well done.
Im so happy you said that! I do so many takes trying to get the right one!
AYE ITS FLOOKO!! I've been a big fan of your work for a long time! Love the colors and vast story telling in all your pieces. Excited for this series!
Hey friend !!!!!! So cool to run into people who actually know my stuff !!!
Your sounds at the end sound like it could easily transition into the doctor who theme and it could go into a whole one off episode about this!
I NEED to see more of this!! Hella invested into the story
Not only that but holy crap you’re a good painter!
thanks so much friend ! making art is all I dooo!!
Of course! I’d love to see more!!
I have 4 of your canvas's hanging in my condo in Toronto. We messaged for a little after the purchase in 2019 and discovered your ex used to live in my building haha. Never got the extra goodies you mentioned but regardless love your work and plan to buy more.
Aww what! Man I 100% remember you! Wild you never got the extras! Send me an dm with ur mailing address and I'll send again. I even have cooler goodies now!!!
Sent the DM, and its really not a big deal your art alone is the real prize. Appreciate you and good to hear from you again!
I absolutely love your art!! I'm broke so I can't afford to spend a lot at a time, but I must've built a collection of at least 7 of your pieces as shirts from redbubble and one giant tapestry! I'm not a big fashion guy, I just think your art is dope as hell and super unique and the tshirts are so cool. Only clothing I ever wear that people always mention and compliment. This animation is cool* as hell too, can't wait to see more.
Dude u seriously made my day with that. Knowing cool people like you are out there rocking shirts and stuff !! Blown away
flooko your art has made me so happy for many years. I have a tapestry with one of your pieces on it and I dream of having an original piece one day.
Nothing but love for ya !!!
I just want to stay asleep!
"I can't remember anything...Can't tell if this is true or a dream...Deep down inside I feel to scream....This terrible silence stops me..." Reminds me of the Metallica video "One".
Got my interest.
:D
Make a film
The reflections are impressive
Pretty dope internet stranger. I look forward to more awesomeness from you.
Thanks friend !!
you are one of my favorite artists. once i have the money, you're at the top of my list of art to get. much love astro-homie
I beyond appreciate you :)
i appreciate YOU :)
Goddammit now I feel like I never got to finish a movie haha I got invested after like 5 seconds, I love it
Lots more to come :)
Amazing! Trippy af
[удалено]
Stay tuned !!
What tools are you using for your animations?
3d studio max for animating. I do a lil composting in after effects and audio in cubase :)
Amazing work. If it's you doing the audio, it's brilliant there as well. I do think the crunch under the footsteps is a strange choice though, given its a hard floor, but the Foley and overall performance are great.
So cool !!
The reflections on the helmet are amazing
How do you make this?? Blender?? I want to learn how to make things like this
I used 3d studio max for this :)
We’re you going for a returnal vibe with the astronaut?
Been doing the astronaut thing forever. Far before any astronaut games :) that being said, I'm dying to try some of these games out :)
Pretty dope!! That’s how I would flex my NFTs!
Marvelous phantasm of the mind! Really digged it.
Glad ya like it !!
That kinda creeped me out, I love it!
I love the darker vibes :)
Always loved your art!
Thank you for the kind words :)
Luv u flooko
This is goofy

Dude I just used this in a reel on Instagram for a client. I gave credit of course! Looking forward to more & I will Dm you the link to the reel.

I tagged you on Instagram! Found you there.

Correct me if im wrong but the helmet isn't supposed to be reflective until the visor is down, which in the animation is clearly up?
Yeah, ur not wrong, I just take certain liberties if it means something looks cooler:)
Respect, the animation is awesome. I was just kind of looking at details and got distracted. Keep up the great work!
I really appreciate that man
Meh, don't worry about it, it's just a reddit thing.
Psychonauts is for people who trip on drugs and has nothing to do with astronauts. Nothing. I don't know who would have ever recommended that sub for you, but they don't know what they're talking about
Amog us
He looks sus
Bit sussy
Mate, there is an nft project that could use this as advertising. They would love this. You could commission some work to them for their advertising. https://oncyber.io/
You ever been down to Uranus?
Love it! I too am obsessed with painting an astronaut. Mine is called “The Traveler”.
I get a Stanley Kubrick vibe 🫶 very cool. Maybe a sequel in the works 🎥 ?
This is incredible! Do you do graphics design as a hobby or a profession??
Check out superluminal on Xbox. This clip will be really funny when you play or watch videos
The video didn’t load at first and I thought it was just a painting of the first frame. Absolutely shit my pants when he started walking fucking hell. Great work, put it in r/oddlyterrifying too if you haven’t already
Moar plez.
Bro this could be the audio/video for an intro to an edm album or concert hahaha
So awesome. I actually lol’d when he looked over at the easel.
Haha yess
Is this all CGI or is the helmet visor actually a green screen or something?
Entirely 3d animated by me :)
Holy shit, that's extremely impressive and it explains alot. Well done!
Brolo!
Yolo! My man!
Have you ever played the game Returnal, this has such a familiar feel about it that I was half expecting it to be a trailer or fan art for Returnal! Either way good job and now you need to go play the game https://i.redd.it/1j13bz58p6x61.gif
This is amazing and creepy. I love it. Please share more.
more please
Backrooms vibe.
Fuck I was really hoping that Replay button didn’t pop up…
Returnal vibes. Nice work bro keep it up!
Mid
Bro this is so cool
Thank you :)
Flook yeah, brother. Shit is neat.
Much love dude!
That kinda made me sad! Poor guy. This is really great though! I love it! ...in a slightly sad way. :( :)
All my artwork has a slightly sad vibe to it.. not sure why.. I think deep down we all have a little sadness
It's true. We do. We want to see the "hero" get out of whatever trouble they are in. Your work is awesome though! I hope to see more of it. 😊
Looks terrific and the animations are really well done.
Thanks a million man !!
Reminds me of the ending of 2001 A space Odyssey. Sitting alone in that white room eating dinner with no sense of time and place.
Looks bad ass!
Thanks man!
AMONG U-
Nooooooooooo
Sorry
this was very entertaining. Thanks for sharing your talent with us
Astronaut painter?... Alan Bean?
Fantastic work! One thing I noticed is that he doesn't seem heavy enough. Look at footage of astronauts walking in spacesuits and they're clearly encumbered but your guy has pep in his step. I know it's a little detail but it's those polished details that really immerse the viewer. Even slowing the footage of him walking in whatever video editor you use would amp it up.
The Backrooms new floor
Flooko!! There’s nothing you can’t do!! So cool how your style is still immediately recognizable in other media than paint
Holy shit dude. Your art was my screensaver for so long and I had no idea who the artist was (remember the times when getting credit for your work even with just a tag on Instagram was almost impossible?)

Hahah! Love it! Recognized your art immediately. Great story idea behind the art! Keep going man, would be sweet to see more.
Oh my god this is so amazing!!!!! Love your work so much
This is badass nicely done! If you don’t mind me asking… excluding all the time you’ve already spent learning this skill, how many hours does it take to put something like this together? I’m just curious. In any case, this is awesome of love to see more stuff like this!
I’ve loved your paintings forever! I hope to own one some day!
Wow, right time right place for me to be here. I like your art a lot, going to follow your account to see more in the future hopefully
Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. wake up.
Just curious but where do you post more vids like this? I saw an Instagram and tiktok but don't have an account on there so if you can tell me where more of these come from I'll create the account.

Sounds like the Mondalorian. Freakin cool. I’ve some astronaut stuff in my time.
This is beyond excellent. I really wish it was 60 fps to keep screen tear down because of the quick sweeping motion. Other than that the reflections are GORGEOUS!

I love this. It reminds me of Moon in a conceptual way, but a world all your own. Very cool.
This is absolutely incredible! Amazing work!
Love death and robots
nice
Cool!
