Concept Art & Animation
No story is complete without a beginning. These are the oldest photos, documents, pieces of lore, etc. from every corner of PetPyves Animation! Learn more about Pyves and the gang, Twelve, Origins, Intandem, and more!
PETPYVES ANIMATION
Began on YouTube July 29th, 2015. The only characters to exist were Pyves, Tad, Roshi, Damari, Marlow, and Pip, with the exception of a few random characters who never appeared again. Pyves and the gang were originally going to star in PetPyve's very first animated series. But, due to my lack of experience, the idea was scrapped early on. The idea may just resurface and be revived in the near future! Stay tuned!
Characters
Now!
Then!
Pyves | The iconic little devil-mouse who started it all! A mischievous fellow with a gluttonous attitude, this little pet peeve has come a long way! As the mascot of PetPyves itself, Pyves is always ready to have an adventure! His entire character came from the concept of having an imaginary friend. Holly had Pyves as an imaginary pet who would get into all sorts of trouble when she wasn't looking!

The gang| It's all of Pyves' friends; Roshi, Tad, Marlow, and Damari! Created at the same time as Pyves, these characters have been with us since the start. Roshi is the silly romantic type who loves attention. Tad is the youthful, creative mouse with wings. Marlow is they shy boy who loves bugs and cold weather. Damari is the only female who is an adventurer! They were all to appear in the same mini series as Pyves that was scrapped.

TWELVE: ANIMATED SERIES
Began on YouTube Blank th, 2015 and was completed date. A series full of change as the artist grew, as the audience fell in love with May, Imp, and the world of Morth they were travelling in. From Reapers, to Guardian Angels, and Vessels in between, a lot has changed over the years!
Characters
May | A bratty protagonist complete with a star and stripes, this character was based on the creator's "past self". Learning to overcome her edgy teenage angst and grow into an empathetic, kind person, May's design stayed pretty consistent throughout the show despite her personality developing so very much. We're proud of you, May!

Imp | A deep character full of puns, witt, and kindheartedness. Standing up for what he believe in, this criminal of the Rift is one powerful demon. Born from the original dream "Twelve" was inspired from, this character's design was based purely around the lore of mythical imps. But, of course, this Imp can speak. A little too much, sometimes at that!

The VEssels | All the lives May and Imp changed through the course of Twelve. Ivy, Heather, Thistle, Ebony, Rose, Cypress, Fennel, Lupine, Poppy, Mallow, Willow, and Rue were all based on events, memories, and people the creator knew/experienced. Wanting to cover a broad range of topics, Twelve has a lot of representation.
