~ DrawDefy ~
Indie animation. All in one place.
Welcome to the DrawDefy Community!
DrawDefy has two simple missions:
To preserve animated art as a medium.
To get animators funding for their work.
If this interests you…
We’re in current talks with 42+ animation studios, both large and small animation studios alike. The number is quickly rising, and your show can be next on the platform!
We’re changing the name of the game.
In times of economic instability, inflation is at an all-time high and subscription prices keep increasing.
We’re bringing back ownership to viewers for the first time, and in a never-before seen way. Digital ownership. You buy your shows once, then you keep them in your library. Even if they get taken off the store. That art you paid for is yours to keep.
Ads have flooded modern-day streaming services. These include AI ads, scams, and big streaming platforms serve to advertisers by creating anti-consumer UX practices. DrawDefy has NO interrupting ads in all parts of our platform, and we only serve to you. At the same time, we also have a highlight section you can see that enables new and emerging creators to promote their current project.
We don’t gatekeep. DrawDefy has a full-fledged mp4, mp3, and digital photo viewer built in for all your content to be stationed in one convenient place. It’s also fully offline supported for all of your downloaded content on your device, and supports both AirPlay and Google Cast. You can get your favorite shows from other platforms of your choice and station them here if you choose.
Unlimited creator control over your art. For the ones who make art.
Creators, or Makers on DrawDefy, have multiple ways of achieving funding during every phase of animation development: Pre-production, production, and post-production. Creative development takes time, effort, and a team. DrawDefy is designed from scratch from the ground up to help you make your project, no matter the stage of production you’re in. Our unique implementation is, and will always be, done with both Makers and fans at the center of our focus.
Have an idea for a show? You can make a show page for it. Then, you can recruit a creative workforce within the DrawDefy Creator Network to create something beautiful.
DrawDefy doesn’t do pledges or traditional crowdfunding within our platform, as this grants an inherit risk to both creators and fans alike. Instead, as a fan, you can purchase concept art, music, or merchandise for a show that’s being concurrently worked on by creators. By doing this, you are directly supporting the creator’s and team’s work, and you get something immediately in return, rather than a promise of something in the future, deterring scammers so we can promote authentic artists with a love for their craft.
For finished shows, movies, or animated shorts, you can keep them on the DrawDefy Store - and fans will buy your creative content with Scribbles, our platform currency. As a Maker, you can exchange the Scribbles earned for real money, so you can fund your current and future projects. You can also take your shows off our store at any time if you have a brand deal that requires an exclusive contract. Which, by the way, we don’t require exclusivity on DrawDefy.
Creators also have opt-in opportunities to get more traction to their shows. More can be found on the “Submit Show Here” page!
