A Lullaby for Gods is a Homestuck animated short created by Angela Sham. First posted in 2013, the piece gained the attention of Andrew Hussie which lead to Sham being brought on as an animator at What Pumpkin and working on final animation of Homestuck in 2016.

The video was done in Photoshop CS5 and After Effects.

The first draft of this animation (beginning scene then ending with Bro on meteor) was my introduction to Homestuck. This animation means a lot to me and this webcomic has meant a lot to me in the long run too. As Homestuck winds down I just want to say to all the friends I’ve made along the way; to the author and countless artists and contributors; and also to the comic itself,

Thank you.

Youtube Comments:

Aewin, 2016: For anyone not aware, this animator is the one that did Homestuck's final animation, which came out today.

Winster Chesty, 2016: I don't know how many times I've watched this since I first found it, but it has to be about 50+ times. There's something about unfinished/rough/sketchy animation that just mystifies me. You're also really great at drawing fluid movements, and honestly this is one of the videos that I always come back to when I lose motivation for my own animation.

Grey Koepp, 2016:
