#10 - [ PILOTREDSUN ]

give warm greetings to the animator musician pilotredsun as he joins the lightning round tournament!
you may know him from the fat cat animation or his retelling of the christmas cretin tale, but he has had a great history of music making, whether fought with a bodybuilder or in a fierce pokemon studio type battle, you'll never know what kind of bog bop he could pull out next!
thanks.
