*_tell me something nice that has happened to you this year so far_*

Butch is the definition of “You know when I was a kid I used to think you were cool”

Better help is a bad sponsor! They don’t use licensed therapists!!

Hey I just wanted to say that the Trans flag burning comm is misinformed. Antoons had commed him to draw his characters holding a burning flag and then antoons colored it to the trans flag to get him in trouble. We saw the original and antoons admitted to it

Twitter is the only place where I walk away hating both the person who calls someone out and the person in question equally lol

Love the video but disappointed to see creators still promoting betterhelp. At this point it's hard to believe anyone doesn’t know what they've done

The weirdest thing about Butch's art is that it's never on point. It always looks like someone trying to draw the Danny Phantom or Fairly Odd Parents style instead of someone who drew it regularly

Please drop betterhelp as a sponsor. How has the entire internet collectively forgotten what happened with them not that long ago??

Not the Betterhelp sponsorship

Noooo, a better help ad ☹️

Seeing you do a BetterHelp sponsorship after everything they’ve done broke my heart 🥺

Stephen Silver. That's all I'm gonna say. He's the real artist behind all of Butch's shows

Just a heads up on the transphobic comm for Antoons. Butch just drew the character, not the flag. The burning flagg was later added by Antoons himself

Better Help is literally unregulated, unlicenced therapy. Why are you still promoting it?

Kinda surprised you didn't mention the Kuro incident. Where he worked with a fan to do some og work and didn't pay the guy. (Kuro is awesome btw really cool guy)

The Mikasa drawing is a classic

"The higher role you are, the worse you are at judging people who aren't in that role." I found this on internet

13:20 Butch didn’t agree to draw that, the og guy commissioned his character to be holding a blank burning flag and when he received it he edited on the trans flag. It doesn’t discount both if the guys actions and views, I’m just saying that Butch making that drawing is partially false.

As someone who grew up in the same neighborhood he studied in his teen years, I actually met him irl in school and got an autograph and somehow made a fangirl squeal I never thought I could have the courage to do publicly. I remember seeing his drawings on the marker board and I still have a photo of it on my phone. This was before the controversy thing was taking storm and it feels so weird remembering it nowadays. I don’t regret getting an autograph, as I still have it, but my view towards him definitely changed. I’m just ashamed and disappointed in him. I’m surprised to see this video posted recently because I was just looking up stuff about him a day or two before this was posted Btw, Better Help sponsorship?? My dude, this ain’t it.

Oh oh! Dont forget the 'your art criticism isn't valid unless you're in the industry' I think that's the one that made me the most upset. Like, dude, there are artists everywhere... they have good advice.

This's good of example of the internet not equalling real life. Sure, some people don't like him online, but fans who don't know or don't care about that still support him and he's just moved on

Surprised you didnt bring up the new Danny Phantom comic book while talking about that fandom though.

11:40 been an artist for 20+ years, I don't and never will understand why people complain about their prices while comparing their work to another artist. Screw Butch, there's a bigger conversation to be had that artists refuse to charge what they are actually worth and instead opt into lowering their prices because they were essentially bullied to. I charge base prices starting at $350 because 1) I know my worth 2) I make sure to include an hourly pay 3) I also include costs for materials and 4) I include my level of experience since I do hyper detailed work that takes me days to finish. Haven't heard a complaint from any of my past clients and those who complain about my prices-I just laugh and tell them to go else where if they have a complaint. Irks me to my core that the art community complains about this issue while simultaneously shooting themselves in the foot. Being an independent artist is like someone starting up their own company. You won't have a lot of customers but as long as you maintain your quality, you will eventually find people willing to pay what you're worth and word of mouth will spread as to the type of artist you are and hopefully you have good customer service that help aids you. You will struggle at the start, being an artist doesn't make you anything special nor different from any other person starting up their own business like lawn care. You have to build your reputation too like any other independent business person.

noooo not betterhelp again? why?

tbh Butch isn't so bad when you look at other big names in the industry and Hollywood in general. The people saying he's a horrible person who makes them sick need to look up John K (the guy behind Ren and Stimpy.) Now HE had ISSUES....

To those wondering why Butch's art style in his commissions look way off from the more iconic look of his shows. It's because the styles actually came from different artists: Stephen Silver and Ernie Gilbert respectively. Stephen Silver was mostly responsible for Danny Phantom while Ernie Gilbert is the true artist behind Fairly Odd Parents visual style. I'm pretty much apathetic towards Mr. Hartman at this point. However, I feel It's high time Ernie Gilbert received the recognition that's been long overdue.

Butch is the hero we didnt want, nor deserved but definitely needed. If this guy can make it - my art career is already a done deal lmfao

When you have a ton of money and credentials within any big industry, it's often very difficult to be "cancelled." Butch couldn't get away with 99% of the shit he's pulled in the past few years if he were just a UKpostsr or a Twitter/IG artist. Sadly, no matter how awful his behavior is, he's a wealthy professional cartoonist within the industry, so he could just get away with it.

I get that this video is just focusing on one aspect, but there is a huge iceberg of stuff Butch has done or said over the years that's questionable, or general controversies he's gotten into. From choosing to wait to mention Oaxis' religious ties until after being funded, him banning fans from his discord server for simply mentioning accidental lgbtq coding in his shows, footage of him on a podcast where he guilt trips the Timmy turner VA about another VA's real actual tragic death, to refusing to pay people he's commissioned work from, to him refusing to acknowledge the team behind successful shows he takes all the credit for and patting himself on the back instead... In Danny Phantom fan spaces he's known at the very least for being cringe. He used to cling to the relevancy that Danny Phantom has kind of maintained; starting comment arguments about the theme song wording ("young Danny phantom" vs "yo Danny phantom"), trying to retcon established plotlines to make DP into something more comic book esque, creating new ghost characters and relatives to Danny as recently as four years ago. I remember once a fan saw his twitter pfp and said the style was pretty egotistical (exaggeratedly "handsome" features) so he ended up changing his pic to a fuzzy, squished, less detailed version. In general it seems he has a history of caring a lot about staying relevant, to the point he didn't care about looking ridiculous as long as he could get people talking about him and his work. I will say that most of these points are a bit dated, I haven't really been keeping an eye on him since 2020. If he's going in a new, healthier direction, that would be awesome. I still wouldn't want him to be in charge of that rumored live action Danny Phantom movie though dvdjfjjfb

The Rayman music during the first minute (and probably more) is iconic. I haven't played that in forever.

Wait better help is still sponsoring

I was literally just binge watching all your videos then this comes up and o screamed with joy

why better help though

2:04 omg Rayman OST in background 😂😂😂

I saw one podcast and he was terrible to tara strong saying he wished the other actress was still alive all Tara could do was awkwardly laugh

Please google better help. Don't take sponsorships from unethical companies, please.

Twitter be like: Butch Hartman drama. Artists compared their art to him then insert self-promotion. 🤣

Oh no, he’s being sponsored be betterhelp.

This is old news yet the fact you never brought up the Trans Flag was actually edited by Antoons and you just kinda giving off misinfo on Butch. I dun like the guy but boi.. do better research and same goes for Better Help sponsor. :/

Calling Drew Danny, lovely reference haha

Wait, so you're telling me that "cancelling" is just a different word for "cyber bullying" and has little to no real world affect on people as big as Butch Hartman?

betterhelp is not a good sponsor man

Twitter is just toxic. Most of these users aren't even artists calling his work "traced" referencing is different from tracing. I don't understand artists themselves comparing their work to his when it's literally a different art style and no that doesn't make you better. I believe his commissions are priced high because he's already a big name in the industry. His commissions are more like autographs in my opinion, like a novelty item where you get a drawing from your favorite cartoonist to heal your inner child.

Ah yes, *Butch* He used to be my inspiration when I started animating

Isn't it ironic how it's always the people that we don't expect it from to do that one thing that destroys their whole career lmao. Still tho, I feel like both butch and the ones accusing him went wrong. I mean it's twitter we are talking about.

Without your video reports on art community id probably never know half on the drama that's going on🤣 great video as always💜

So... I was a director on the FOP: A new wish. We only saw him like once in the studio tbh.

This isn’t bout the video, but rather the sponsor. I don’t understand why so many creators are still accepting better help as a sponsor. All for creators making money, but betterhelp is sketchy af. Like I really want to know if creators are actually using betterhelp or if they are just saying that? Cause you never tend to actually hear their experience on a base level. Edit: didn’t realize so many people already mentioned this but oh well.

Was not expecting the sonic gem stage music and absolutely got whiplashed back into playing the genesis.

This hits me in the nostalgia, especially with the Bully soundtrack playing in the background 🥲

I heard that trans-flag thing was faked, Hartman drew it all but with a blank flag or something and buyer colored it to look like the trans-flag or something like that. The Mikasa doesn't look traced at all, but he definitely used that or a similar image as reference cause he probably didn't even know what Attack on Titan was. In the same defense I have to say even masters like Aaron Blaise essentially copy a reference all the time, when Aaron did the 100 Years of Disney most of them were straight from the reference and he's a Disney animator, you can't remember all that shit in your head even when the exact topic was your profession.

Great video but I cannot get past the Rayman Origins OST as the background music. 😭

Nahhh I didn't know my tweet showed up here 😅 cheers man 15:45

Everytime I hear about this man I always look at my art and relax on how much I decided on my commissions.

I have this primal urge to commission him to draw one of my Ocs just to laugh my nonexistent ass off about it because one, there will be no references online and two, they’re literal cinnamonroll so he won’t be able to rely on the usual grumpy expression 👍

DO NOT PROMOTE BETTER HELP they're really shitty

What People fail to realize that for most of butch hartmans shows he wasn't even the actual character designer. Stephen silver and other people are the designers of his characters.

"From the great and almighty"💀

No offense, but Fairy Odd Parents was one of the shows I looked at as a kid over 10 years ago and thought “if this is on tv, then I can make a cartoon.”

Not to defend Butch Hartman or anything but that Mikasa picture really doesn't look like it's traced. It definitely looks like he referenced that picture when drawing it like maybe he had the picture up on his phone or something and is trying his best to replicate it the way the face is drawn and the way the body is drawn don't really look like it was traced over definitely the same pose and even the hair is in a similar if not exact same position so it's definitely referenced at least. edit: Haha i actually made this comment before seeing the rest of your video so I didn't see that you commented on this stuff lol oops😅

PLEASE drop betterhelp. They are so harmful and dangerous in so many ways!

Any artist can charge any price for any art. Especially if its not a trace. He's wrong for tracing but you dont HAVE to pay 200$😂

I was very confused when Tara Strong was fired from the role of Timmy, only to return as Poof.

Of course he's working on the reboot, he desperately wants to live the glory days. Honestly at this point not one really cares.

Hes still active on tiktok. He only stopped on Twitter cuz thats where he was getting hate. His TikTok comments, surprisingly, dont know whata going on (tiktok usually is filled with hate so this is shocking lol)

dinky dinosaur looks a LOT like land before times with slightly differant look

I thought those people kept putting that picture of Dib next to their great art to say “I poor my soul out into my art!“ and then one of them is that picture of Dib that looks goofy af 😢😅

Moral of the story: NEVER join twitter! Thank you 👍🤣

The art that he is accused of tracing is of people from very simple poses. You're bound to come up with the same poses for the same characters, considering they have iconic poses. About his commissions, you're not paying $200 for art, you're paying for art from him. Art is a status symbol, that's why it's $200.

Don't forget his monster of an ego.

content from mohammed agbadi is entertaining and informative

The pinnacle of butch was someone tricking him into drawing shadman

Butch Hartman vs 'this twitter user' - reason why he get to charge more...

I recommend you Steven Silver's courses more, the real artist and designer behind the 'butch hartman' style. I also hear that the art of the burning trans flag was actually commissioned as a white flag, and the commissioner colored in the trans colors.

I've drawn better quality free requests than that...Shit, I should start charging people.

He worked on Dink?! Dude, its my childhood! I used to have this on VHS!

0:45 What’s the song playing in background? It’s really nice

as an autistic im automatically against butch "my wife can pray away the autism" on everything he does (but no one but autistics really care about how thats not okay.) speaking of not okay taking betterhelp money without looking up the company you are promoting... an average civilian promoting something has less responsibility to assess the risks since they dont have an audience outside of single digits.. get paid i guess but whatever. pretty disappointing...

wait Hartman... Cartman...OH MY GOD i get it now!

For those who want to know, beginning at 0:50, the name of the soundtrack is Yaschas Massif from Final Fantasy 13.

Betterhelp.. 💀

Thats not tracing, he obviously referenced it bc he has no clue what character that is lol

Life lesson. Like I learned growing up with Ren and Stimpy as my favorite show as a kid. Don't look into your favorite animators. It's so easy to do now compared to the early 90's, just don't do it, plausible deniability is a thing for a reason. Don't look behind the curtain and ruin an entire crews worth of work.

first, also whoooo one of my fav artists uploaded

Tbf, he has a larger name behind his art. Also, knowing his artstyle was simplistic in the first place, what were people expecting from a commission? Tracing aside, you could probably make more money off the commission if you resell it to die hard fans.

he clearly didn't trace that picture of Mikasa, or it would look better 😂😂

13:18 well for one butch hartman didint do that antoons did that and said butch did that

2:47 the only thing I disliked about this remake was the voices I remember being pissed when this came out because nala said something different then the og that I some how specifically remember her saying (I also watched This movie with my cat so that added points)

I do thank him for Danny Phantom and I also thank Steve Marmel , Stephen Silver and Guy Moon for making Danny phantom what it is today .👻

Not gonna lie, I actually genuinely like Butch's interpretations of both Mikasa and Rin Chan. I paused the video and took a few minutes to gauge all the discrepancies between the reference photo and his drawing. I admit, those commissions were 150% egregiously overpriced to just be over-referenced and 80% copies; but again, I like what little creative liberties he did take. I think it took SOME level of talent to redraw the anime style, presumably from scratch. The proportions differ, the poses slightly differ. Rin Chan's hand holding the kettle seemed to be unique; and Butch added some gear for Mikasa that wasn't in the original. If these two commissions were a quarter of the price, and Butch credited the inspiration artists in his social media posts, I'd say the criticism is unwarranted. So yeah... I liked those two redraws by Butch, but I can kind of understand where the Twitter outrage came from.

A bunch of people threatened to have me cancelled...........im shocked it didnt happen. Was pretty traumatic

The thing you learn over time is that people who are genuinely bad are uncancelable & that the people that "disappear" probably weren't as bad as the Genshin Impact pfp people try to paint them out to be

hearing the Bully theme makes my attention spikes lollllll 5:42

sorry i know this has nothing to do with the video but what is the song in the background in the beginning i recognize it but i can't figure out what it is

Butch Hartman is the embodiment of the "you die as a hero, or live long enough as a villain" meme. I feel slapped when one of my childhood shows was created by a then scammer. His newer art style is such a downgrade from the former like, he used to work for the industry with that 200 art? :/

This video had a(prolly more) a different thumbnail and title

Re. the first image of Mikasa, that not tracing. Coping at worst. And in my opinion not even a copy. His version, while not in his style, was still very unique. Just to note. I have no clue who this guy is and never watched his work. I'm 40. I grew up in 1980s. I studied animation, and got 2 useless degrees in area of animation and cinema. So, just my 2 cents. There are 2 issues. The first is if he didn't deliver what customer asked for. That's up to customer to decide. The second issue is how much he charges for what he delivers. That was way too much. He is clearly up-charging because of his fame.

for someone that has been in the industry for 20 something years he definately has nothing to show for it at this point. I think instead talking down to artists, bashing fandoms, not paying artists, taking money from fans, etc he should actually be a better example for new artists because one day they'll have jobs than you will

lmao I love that you featured a clip from some random child like 'according to the source, the infant, Butch is a bad man'

So many impactful work during the years and people just cancel him for a couple of overpriced drawings and small drama? People are cruel in the art community, really. It is easy to forget how aggressive people are actually. About the price - it's totally normal regarding his career path. No one from the artists that critiqued him are famous cartoonist with the several award winning shows. The price includes not only an actual work. My point is: people are unfair sometimes. I am glad he is ok.
