I've seen this guy be mentioned a couple of times in the 'Deviant horrors' thread. He earned himself a topic for what I dug myself into. Now This Michael. He goes by his online name of Bancystudios1994.

Now this Michael/Bancy fella, possibly has to have the worse case of autism usage on the internet I've ever seen. He's mostly known on the internet for two things. Being on the Disney channel for his autism


And for creating. This monstrosity of a character.

He calls it 'Bancy Mcmouser', from what I've seen its nothing more than a self insert of himself as a green Mickey mouse and one of the old designs of Chuck e Cheese. There have been Sonic recolors that had a little more effort to hide their 'my character do not steal' look rather than dumping green paint onto a fusion of two rats and calling it a day. One of the majority of things he talks about is that he 'thinks' he'll work for Disney one day. Except from looking at what he does for art its not enough to be passable for a job, he is likely in hard denial of a unrealistic fantasy thinking he'll work there one day.

He's got a lot of issues, as evidenced by his art that he has made

What makes me laugh about this guy is the fact that he's sucking up to Disney and Pixar, to the point where it almost sounds like he gets a hard on just by talking about them. He's just showing the world on how bonkers he is by ripping on other studios that aren't Disney. As evidenced by the fact that he's drawn this after finding out that Inside out didn't win the awards(the award went to Hotel Transylvania 2). Really says a lot when about the guy. Anyone find it a bit cringy that he used actual animation paper on this particular piece of art?

I tried digging around Deviantart to see if he was still on there. It looks like he left after deviantart he was exposed from stealing art from artist Kosperry(an artist known for drawing in the style of Don Bluth). Since the call out, he's relocated to facebook where he has not one, not two, but five different facebook groups, most of which are him spewing out on what is 'wrong' with animation these days. Really says a lot of time he has on hands to make this many groups

One of the things that he recently posted from one of the groups he's running is that he's working(using the word loosely) on a short 'inspired' by Fantasia. Its a bit laughable that he'd share this. Its mostly a poster of nothing just what you'd usually expect in the sewage of deviantart. As of writing, March 5th 2021 came and went. No cartoon was released.

He went onto 4chan of all places saying that he was looking for work, spewing out the faults on what is 'wrong'(in his own words) with animation these days. Its a little concerning to see that not even 4chan wanted him

From making faux posters of insane things that are quite impossible to pull off, from harassing people because he can't face reality, stealing/tracing art from others, and mostly getting into twitter fights. He's just a fanboy who's just lost his marbles.

His twitter
His Blogs
His Fan wiki 1 and wiki 2
First Deviantart Account (the second one was deleted after he was exposed for pedophilia behavior and stealing art on DA)

Isn't art theft a well known taboo "secret" in DeviantArt, or have they been cracking down on that?
Technically yes. It's called DeviantArt Protect and implemented this year.
But if you're a Core Member it's for life, and even protects artists against NFT's. If you're not, it lasts 6 months Max and you're still fucked

Oh fuck I do remember this guy on /co/ like 2 or 3 years ago. Most of us were shitting on him because of his boner for Disney


Here's a link to some of his shit, including his face

I see he also masters Random-Access Humor
Those ehtnicities tho.

"Traditional Animator", while you can trace in traditional animation, that practice has been long gone for decades. And with a 'resume' of ripping off Mickey Mouse/harassing other artists and ripping them off, I really doubt Disney would accept him if ever.
His lines are stiff, no lines of movement, coloring outside the lines....and FB alone is not going to be enough for him to enter the doors of their studios to be interned. Now you need connections and experience/education.
 
This guy is interesting to me since he can kind of draw? Most or the time with these turbo autists they can’t do that’s nice to see. I’m interested to see what else will happen with this thread—we need more artcows. They’re the best lolcow on the site and there isn’t enough of them.
 
He sounds like a sped, OP is very easy to follow so good job there. I am curious to see if he keeps producing enough content to sustain a thread.
I did plenty of digging around and had a few peers(who will not be mentioned to protect their innocence on here) who had their share of running into this guy to offer me a lot of good info. I am pleased some of you guys know about him and shared some of his art on here since most of it seems to be gone from DA. The 4chan thread was one of the things my peers supplied, not even that place wanted him to be there.
What is with "high" functioning autists and their obsession with shitty crayon drawings?
I want to safely say they can't afford digital, but there are free digital drawing software to use. Except they don't want to go outside of their 'comfort zone'.

@Asdfgunman81 nigga this seems like it has potential but damn nigga. Have a dox ready.

Good lord. He posted this on the internet himself? Its bad enough I just found that he's even made a wiki fan page for himself

Edit: The first wiki page I found is nothing more than a ghost town, as the wiki page lead me to another one. Hold onto your hats for what you're about to read since its a loo-loo!
