The Distortionist/ fan-animation/ (read description) 

I love the little smile after “The mirrors cracked themselves and I was cut on the broken shards and how I bled”

he’s the most tumblr sexyman coded character I’ve ever seen and I love him for it

I love how his own destruction of the mirrors left the shards scattered enough for the final spotlight to finish the job His obsession with his reflection and compulsive destruction was what revealed who he really was

So let me get this straight. Christopher Pierre was basically playing a 1 vs many against some Mirrors and lost the battle after they hit him with the *DIVINE LIGHT*

"all i wanna do is break my spine and break mirrors. Can a crispy do his favorite hobby? Jeez." -Christopher "Crispy" Pierres, 2023

Honestly, the 'imperfect' animation really adds to everything. Those crackly movements, the spine, everything is terrifying and unsettling and fits Christopher's character so well. No one needs crisp animation for Crispy!

as someone who has been the biggest nerd for Christopher Pierre over the years, you have absolutely blessed my eyes with this masterpiece

I think this is the best ghost fan content ever. Honestly it's even better than the original pv. My mind is absolutely blown by this. Coolest in the whole world.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FRAME WHERE HE'S STARING INTO THE MIRROR SAYING "HOW YOU DISTORTED MY REFLECTION" CAUSE _HE_ WAS THE ONE WHO DID IT AFHGDG

aaaaw thanks to everyone who commented. while I was working on it, I could not imagine that there would be so many positive reviews. honestly, I doubted whether to post it, because I thought that I would be "criticized" a lot. but you just broke my expectations, you all made my day much more better. 🖤

That "one, two, three, BREAK!" at the end was a fantastic finish to an otherwise already awesome animatic. There's a lot of fantastic scenes but that one was my favorite

He looks like he's in a backstage dressing room which makes me wonder what would happen if someone found him

GHOST ANS PALS GHOST AND PALS!!! MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS! AM SO HAPPY THIS FANDOM IS ALIVE!

i want to feel this animation in my veins. this is a masterpiece and its a shame that ghost didn't react 4:42 reverse part is something😭💞

god this is nostalgic. the sense of excitement and satisfaction of seeing him in motion at 1:13 after seeing the pv so many times is indescribable. love the artistic choices and props for committing to animating a full song

for a first animation, this is absolutely stunning

You've captured chris's emotions so freaking well‼️‼️❤️

“Someone call the dentist, or priest!” As someone who has chronic; insomnia I can tell you this is exactly how it feels to wake up way too early!

HOLY FUCK IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS… HONEST MASTERPIECE OF ART. IM JUST SURPRISED IT WAS SMOOTH ENOUGH TO MAKE ME LOVE THIS!

my animating skills could never do anything as good as this 😭🤚

"crispy, you got your own animation?😧😡😡" - Happy Days Maika

Dude, you have nothing to be ashamed of. This is actually kinda crazy. I'm just so shocked that, even though it gets choppy sometimes, you still stuck to full body animation and never switched to more of a pmv type thing for the whole song! Thats stuiped impressive! You even made sure to add and animate the wrinkles and made sure to shade with stippling, like dude! This is really impressive for someone's first animation!

oh my goodness!!!!! The Distortionist was the first ghost and pals song I ever listened to it's so awesome to see this little menace finally animated

Man, this is beautiful. Crispy guy is one of my most favourite GHOST OC's so you actually blessed my soul. Wish you that you can get a lot more views! ♥️

The movements and expressions in this were SO good! This is your first animation?? I never would have guessed! You did an amazing job, I can't imagine how hard it must have been to pay attention to how the reflections would look and also having to draw the clothing folds in every frame omg

Please make more animations in the future...!! The expressions, angles, everything drawn,, is PURE GOLD!!! 😫💖💖💖

Анимация - огонь просто!!! Это прекрасно, просто слов нет. Большое спасибо автору за проделанную работу

I love this in a lot of ways: it slowly reveals that he isn’t the victim but the villain. This animation slowly plays into him becoming the villain without the kind of unique framing of the original. The words alone will make you think he’s innocent until the very end, but the mirrors show the truth.

HELLO??? I came to this video expecting. like- idk. like a couple short animated scenes or something interlaced with the original video. The amount of effort and skill this animation presents is astounding! shading, amazing line work, attention to the details of the original video and character, backrounds????, lip syncing??? the amount of small movements and actions that clearly must have taken so long to time and perfect, AND ITS YOUR FIRST ANIMATION????? I- How???? truly, i am astounded and overjoyed by the quality and skill of this. ? i wish i'd found this sooner, my god. great work!

This honestly looks incredible. I don't know much about animation, but I can tell this probably took a lot of time and effort. Good work mate!

I'm going insane, but seriously the animation was remarkable. I'm excited about your upcoming projects!

4:57 - 5:00 is just perfect

Absolutely amazing. The Distortionist is one of my favorite songs ever and the sheer effort that was put into this does it so much Justice, you are so incredibly talented! I’ll definitely be rewatching this a lot in the future. Please keep creating and animating!!

i’m genuinely so obsessed with this animation i keep coming back to watch it over and over again

its nice to see how you improved in those 10 months some of the shots are actaully very well drawn and suprised me in quality. Ill just intepret the diffrence in quality in a way that the distortionists lies differ in quality and makes him sometimes look good to the viewer because he convinced us that he looks that good and sometimes we see trough the mask and see that he actaully not looks like what he says he looks like. Dont we love our own little headcanon? Its not a bug, its a feature!

YOU ARE???? INSANELY UNDERRATED OH MY GOD?????? THIS IS AMAZING LIKE FOR YOUR FIRST ANIMATION TOO THAT IS CRAZY !!!!! The way you animated his poses and the framing of the whole scenery is outstanding I'm like.. blown away wow

I am absolutely in awe. Words can't describe how well-made this fan animation is. The effort you've put into this, the time you've spent on all those frames... I am speechless. You deserve a solid round of applause, really, cause this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for blessing my eyes today :) Bravo! 👏

This is amazing! Absolutely stellar in every way possible! I kept pausing just to look at the art it’s wonderful! Keep up the amazing work this is amazing. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time this took. Kudos to you for completing it and making something brilliant

Емааааааа какая же ахрененая анимация нигде ни видал фан анимация песен госта настолько красивых боже мой КАК? Это шедеврально честно я не понимаю как на этом виде нету даже 10к просмотров. Сначала я подумал что будет что то не оч из-за просмотров но Боже как же я ошибался. Спасибо за то что потратил столько времени на такую болдежную штуку!!!!!

This. I happened to stumble across this major masterpiece, and I'm so glad I did. This animation is detailed, from the movements, the hands, the lip syncing, hell, the clothes, the smoothness of most of it, it's beautiful. Beyond beautiful, really, animation has always been an interest of mine and this really takes the cake for an animatic for a GHOST song. Perfect to me, it really shows emotions in parts, the dynamics are amazing. Props to you, my friend, you did phenomenal. Thank you for blessing us with such a great animatic for The Distortionist. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍💞💗

Outstanding work on this especially on the most difficult part of ant animation voice syncing

This suave yet manipulative depiction of him plus the lyrics make for a really awesome villain design for a video game or something. Good job!

I literally started screaming when I saw him walking in the first scene!!! He's too perfect

Crispy looks so sassy in this, I love it lol

This is amazing. The accuracy in the character design is incredibly impressive, the motion is crisp and for lack of a better word, clean. The character always looks SO GOOD and especially the fully ‘corrupted’ version of the distortionist, the fully corrupted version looks .

I haven't really seen full fan animations of GHOST songs like this, definitely makes me wanna do one myself! Really well done, specially the expressions!

THIS IS AMAZING!!! THE ART THE ANIMATION THE EXPRESSIONS JUST- EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PHENOMENAL! AND IT PEREFECTLY SHOWCASES THE LORE AND SONG- LIKE ITS HARD FOR ME TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS! YOU DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!

the distortionist is literally my favorite song and it has been for years im so glad someone made this

Это потрясающе, я пересматриваю это уже в сотый раз, как же красиво 🥰🥰🥰

4:04 THIS MOMENT >>>>>>>

You have more motivation than me. To animate a FIVE MINUTE LONG SONG is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! THE LIP SYNCH, THE ANIMATION, IT'S ALL AMAZING!!!!!! This sounds off, but i kinda wanna meet the dude Crispy irl lol

This was the first song of theirs i’d ever come across, to see the imagery from the pv so lovingly animated was a real treat!

the absolute child-like glee i got watching this was immeasurable. The Distortionist was the song that introduced me to Ghost back when they uploaded it, so seeing it like. Animated was insane. I LOVE THIS VIDEO SM!!! immediate sub

AAAAAAAHHH, THIS IS STUNNINGLY AMAZING!! 💖💖💖 I LOVE EVERY SINGLE LITTLE MOVEMENT AND YOUR STYLE!!! TRULY PHENOMENAL! 💖💖💖💖💖 THEIR DECENT INTO MADNESS AND THE WAY YOU DRAW THEIR MONSTER IS EVERYTHING!!

Animations like these make me want to start studying animations even though im dog water at it💀 But still your art is so beautiful and you have so much talent please keep going❤

It's too perfect for my eyes... I died.

My favorite detail is how bent and gnarled the bat is from overuse. I don’t know why, it just hits right.

I love this more than I love bees I fucking love bees

Can we all agree that Christopher is tumblr sexyman material?

2:15 I dunno why but I just love the little walk he does towards the screen before rushes forwards I love the whole thing in general but that is one of my favourite parts Honestly the animation is amazing. I didn’t even notice but I love how every time he gets hit with light, his skin in that area goes black and then you consistently draw him with the black patch afterwards This really is Crispy

THIS IS SO AMAZING, I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT

Урааааа Это случилось Просто прекрасно, супер,ты просто умница🥳💌

You have. 34 subscribers. 35 now. There is something VERY wrong with this, and I must spread the word of this absolute MASTERPIECE.

man this is really underrated. Good job :) and well done on seeing the project to the end!

That impossible, that impossible....That TOO MUCH awesome! I love that character...

The animation is so cool! You are so talented! (Yes,yes very original comment)

Before watching this animation this used to be one of my least favorite ghost songs. This animation caused me to listen to the song more and added a whole lot to the experience and has bumped this up to one of my favorites. Thank you.

YOOOO This looks AMAZING 🤩💖💖💖

I used to listen to Ghosts songs religiously years ago, so getting a recommendation like this really put a smile on my face. :) For a first animation.. WOW!! The animation stayed consistent all the way even with how long it is! I really like how you drew the twist on their body. The backgrounds are also really nice! All these remind me of my friend I used to have, we both really liked Ghost and their songs. If I remember correctly Candle Queen was her favorite song. I miss you a lot Smiler, hope you're doing good

I'm so glad I kept scrolling a little longer before bed

You’re so talented this is amazing!! :D CRISPY

Nobody had informed me an amazing animation made by such the skilled person

это просто потрясающе. невероятная работа. спасибо за такую анимацию, благодарна всем сердцем автору, просто замечательно

This is a great idea for an identity v hunter backstory

Thank you for bringing this masterpiece of a video into the world :0

WOAH. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF AMAZING. I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED THIS ANIMATION UNTIL YOU CAME, AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! I think you really nailed Christopher Pierre's personality an attitude! Please, @ghostandpals needs to see this masterpiece! Kudos, lot's of them !! ❤❤❤

WHY IS IT SO PERFECT??!! I LOVE ITTTTTTT

Is it normal to be sobbing, crying, shaking, hyperventilating while whatching this? ISTG IM NOT KIDDING

This is really good for a first animation. i love this. You put great effort into this work. Great job

КАК ЖЕ ЭТО ПРЕКРАСНО! ЭТО ДОСТОЙНО БОЛЬШЕГО! продолжай двигаться вперёд, и ты обязательно должен достичь успеха. Это буквально шедевр, это захватывает дух ❤

@ghostandpals

While I don’t think this is better than the original this is most definitely amazing work. Good job

Love it, I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. I especially liked the part near the end where Mr Pierre grows 4 extra arms, that was done really well. I did notice something with the animation, though, and I hope you don't mind me pointing it out. Christopher's movements feel stiff. He doesn't move with his arms, like at 1:25 when he throws them up while keeping the rest of his body still, then winds up for a punch without rotating his shoulders or torso. Even considering that, though, this animation is great, especially for a first. You're going places for sure.

You've conquered a subscriber just now with your animation skills and patience.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, SHEESH

Am I supposed to be creeped out by the absense of blinking? Great vid anyways

wow... this is going into my inspiration playlist, and i can tell you things dont make it in there easily. really really well done

10 mounth?! The commitment is crazy 😭 Good job!! I don't think you should be ashamed of this animation at all! I understand tho, I love making animations to GHOSTs old song and i really hope they don't mind.

Какой великолепный видос, Огромная работа,а если тем более и первая😨 Мне очень понравилось,это был ОТЛИЧНЫЙ повод ещё раз напомнить себе об этой прекрасной песне Браво!1!! Подписка 😤👏👏👏💯💖💖💖🌷🌸✨

This is absolutely amazing! The fact that you took on such a daunting task as your first animation is amazing!
