History Creator / PaulRobertson

He became a well-known name among the gaming community after working as the art director for ''[[VideoGame/ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim Vs The World]]'', and then outside the community for providing the animations of two characters from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Rumble [=McSkirmish=] and Giffany (notice a pattern here?). Since then, his unique style has been spotted in several places including the retro-flavored games by Creator/TributeGames, the CouchGag from the "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS26E14MyFareLady My Fare Lady]]" episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' and several promos appearing on Creator/AdultSwim.

Not to be confused with [[Film/FightClub Robert Paulson]], or Creator/RobPaulsen.[[note]]Great, now ''I'm'' confused.[[/note]]

* AnimatedMusicVideo: He made a few of these.

* AllianceOfAlternates: His "[[https://youtu.be/9pNmqrLRisY?si=CgCM7t1Uz7jtgYGf Jerryfest]]" has several alternate [[Western/RickAndMorty Jerry Smiths]] attending the titular event at a theme park.

* CuteSlimeMook: The titular slimes in "Slime and Girls Gameshow" look like the ones from ''Franchise/DragonQuest''.

* CoolVersusAwesome

* AnimatedMusicVideo: He made a few of these.

* AuthorAppeal: Puppies, kittens, [[{{Gainaxing}} curvy and bouncy]] girls, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick weird monsters and mutants]], {{gorn}}, and psychedelic imagery.

* FauxSymbolism: His works feature a lot of halos, crosses, religious and mystical symbols of every kind, deities and so on, but they're there most likely just to look cool. Again, probably like the Japanese works he's inspired by.

!!Works by him with pages on TvTropes:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: One of his very first short films, ''Hyper Parsnip Bitches'', is the only one to have the characters fully voiced. The mock-Japanese and mock-Scottish accents he gave them become grating fast, though, so he wisely decided to just let the images speak for themselves for all his subsequent works.

* BodyHorror: His animation skills sometimes are used to portray some truly grotesque transformations

* {{Gorn}}: Several of his animations feature characters getting splattered, sliced, beheaded, ripped apart and so on. The worst offender is probably the final part of ''Kings of Power'', where the gorn even gets weaponized.

* {{Animesque}}: His early works were slightly more influenced by anime aesthetic and tropes. Also, blatantly parodied with ''Gravity Falls''' Giffany, who comes from a supposedly haunted Japanese DatingSim.

* ContinuityNod: Sometimes characters from earlier works re-appear years later in unrelated works. The most interesting example is probably the Violence Kings from ''Kings of Power'' who became bosses in ''VideoGame/MercenaryKings''. And ''Kings of Power'' itself had cameos from some of Paul's earlier animations.

* MindScrew: It's hard to say what his animations mean, if anything. But they sure are [[RuleOfCool incredibly cool]].

* ReferenceOverdosed: Almost all of his works are loaded with cameos by popular culture characters, especially from games, anime and cartoons.

'''Paul Robertson''' (born 1979) is an Australian animator known for his complex pixelized, video game-inspired art style. He did indeed start as an artist and animator for several video game companies, while still making quite a few surreal animations to be used as music videos or showed at animation festivals.

* {{Animesque}}: His early works were slightly more influenced by anime aesthetic and tropes. Also, blatantly parodied with ''Gravity Falls''' Giffany, who comes from a supposedly haunted Japanese visual novel.
