  • Hey everyone! I'm so grateful for all the support for Mall Wizard!! I've seen a few comments about the similarities between The Wizard and Steve from Bigtop Burger and I wanna say yes! I absolutely love BTB and this short is in many ways inspired by its humour! Shows like BTB, Sublo & Tangy Mustard and others are what inspired me to get into indie animation and create my own stuff online. I was also heavily inspired by those AI "Wizards in fast food kitchens" pictures. I honestly made this short for fun and to decompress after my last huge project, Hugo's Mind Palace, so I kinda just threw in everything I thought was funny lol. Also, in terms of The Wizard's voice, its a voice I've been doing for years in my D&D campaigns! I hope to continue this series in a more unique and original direction so stay tuned! And, in case you're interested, follow along with the progress of the new episodes over on my Patreon! patreon.com/alistairdraws

  • This is too good of a concept for this to not have any more shorts or continuations. I also love the character of the wizard, though his voice is often much calmer then his wacky movements which is a bit disorienting. Also, just turning the costumers into skeletons is flipping hilarious. Keep it up. Love seeing the clever stuff you make!

  • Saw your pinned comment. Was gonna ask since it seemed like BTB flew under the radar compared to Hazbin Hotel or The Amazing Digital Circus. It’s not a bad thing if your art reminds people of something they already love; I hope more of the art community switches to this mindset. Not every art style/premise/etc. needs to be 100% unique. But I digress. I hope we see more of these characters, even in short videos like this one.
