I’m really optimistic on Sheriff Hayseed but I think it will never continue, at the end of the episode he didn’t totally said that the series is over, but in some other videos, he really sait that “the following episode goes unfinished and the other future episodes got scrapped”

Someone needs to organize a reanimated collab to finish this episode like how Piemations intended it to be. Sorta like how a bunch of people got together to help Zeurel finish a Joel Vargskelethor animation he lost all the files for

@@pinkponypuppy9586 Well, it is hard to say it is a series. There's currently 2 episodes, made by the KZreadr and animator Piemations. It follows the adventures of Sheriff Todd Hayseed and his deputy Shawn, which are both terrible at their job - protecting their town Troughwater. The video we are currently on was supposed to be a finished new episode, but due to Piemations getting serious problems with his wrist as well as the company making merch for the show collapsing overnight, he and his team will not be able to finish it. But they released the storyboard so that at least we see whatever was made.

This is like a star athlete getting injured, wishing you mental serenity in this quite literally life altering time

I understand why it is ending and for your sake, Mike, it’s probably for the best. Idk, hope im not rambling too much.

It may not have been a completed animation, but it was still awesome and I loved it! I'm so glad we got Sheriff Hayseed AT ALL, even if I wish it could go on forever. But I'd much rather you take the time to take care of yourself, do what you feel you need to do, and not hurt yourself, physically or emotionally, working on things that don't bring you fulfilment. I hope you come back to this some day, but even if you don't, we'll always have this gem.

Speaking from experience, the shame that comes with having to step down as a director for an animated project is agonizing and debilitating and it makes you feel so...small, and I am so, so deeply sorry that you had to make that choice-that being said, also speaking from experience, I think you did make the right one. Your health is important, and I'm sure you already know that (and I hope you rest up as well as you can!), but I also want to touch on that desire to express the best part of yourself in its totality-fuck, man. I mean, when you put something out there, there's no taking it back, right? So it *needs* to be perfect. I think this is perfect. It's unfinished, and it's a labor of love all the same. You put your all into what you do, and you put your all into this every step of the way, and I, and many others, see you. It's human. It's you! My personal favorite thing about art is the potential to see the humans who made it *through* it, and I think it's safe to say that we see you-and your team just as well-and it's a lovely sight. You've gotten so, so far, man, and that's no easy feat, that's something most of us have been unable to accomplish, and your hard work, and your attention to detail, it all got you this far...and it'll always, always be something to admire, to look up to, no matter what. You're strong. You're here! And whatever comes next, I'm rooting for you!

Even without the animation they look realistic and lively

This is honestly more closure than most fans get from their cancelled shows. Thank you Piemations, and I hope you heal up well

The pie people should never have to worry about their animation quality, this is some good stuff.

Thank you for all of the great stuff you’ve made. Remember to take care of yourself.

Even though this is just an animatic, it was quite enjoyable! Hope you're doing well Mike!

Hey man seriously props for putting your health first. I think it’s something that all us animators have to realise eventually that we can’t perfect everything otherwise it may LITERALLY affect us physically and mentally. Your team did such a phenomenal job at all the pipelines and you guys should feel seriously proud. If I ever see it finished I’ll be excited to watch, otherwise I’m excited for what comes next to the piemations channel. ❤

In this case? If he honestly didn't put his physical health first... he may actually cause permanent damage to his hands/wrists. I hope they continue to take their time with it and, as they said they would, maybe think about hiring a small team if they really wanna continue.

Of all the things I feel after watching this, what stands out to me is just the respect for the craft I now have. Seeing behind the curtain, how animators think and work, by looking at this story board is so insightful.

Finally! I really missed this series :D

I want you to know that I really enjoyed this! If you ever decide to pick it up again later on, I think people will like it a lot!

This, even being just a storyboard, is some of the best animation I have seen on KZread. The expressions are so vibrant and dynamic, they’re spot on in selling the story. Thank you so much for giving us this. And I’m so sad the merch store fell through, because I NEED stickers of every single one of Todd’s expressions from his character sheet. Keep taking care of yourself and get well soon.

@@Sapphiregamer8605 I did read the end. I'm just choosing to accept it's gone than hold out hope for something that might never be. If I hold out hope I could grow resentful or upset if it never returns. If I accept it's gone, I'm surprised and ecstatic if it comes back. I also just dislike the notion of saying "I hope you'll do this thing you love but can't do one day" as it feels a bit rude.

From the perspective of someone outside of the production of the show, Sheriff Hayseed always was a quality animation series. Everything including the backgrounds, animation, score, writing, and voice acting were comparable to other internet animations with higher budgets and bigger staffs. I hope that with time some of the issues that caused the end of this series can be fixed so that the next things you make are even more successful. In particular I hope that your wrist remains functional at least and hopefully recovers. Perfectionism is a harder thing to deal with and part of that will take a lot of time and stress. I hope you handle it well.

I loved this series while it lasted. It brought me out of a funk when I was at my most lowest of moods. I hope for only the best in your future endeavors, Mr. Pie.

Honestly, with how charming the characters were, how fun the animation, colours, pretty much everything about the first episode was, I can't fathom what "perfect" would look like in your head. Even so, I'm glad to have been able to watch it and the bloopers, that was hilarious also. I hope everything comes together for you.

Sheriff Hayseed has been one of my favorite things on KZread. While of course I'd love more of it, I'm really glad I got to experience what was made. If you do end up making more in the future I'll be here for it. If not, still happy with what we did get.

The fact this is the last episode with the smooth guitar tune makes the ending very melancholic

This was awesome and lots of fun. I'm sorry to hear about your injury and struggling health, and I hope you manage to recover from it all. I personally think your opinion of it "not being good enough" is unwarranted. This series, even though it's only got two or three entries, is my favorite thing you've ever done, and I will be right there for more if you ever continue it. Heck, I REALLY needed to see this today, because despite the bad news, seeing something like this lifted my lonely spirits immensely. Prioritize your health, but when your health is stable, keep working toward your dreams dude, because I have faith you can achieve them. I'm certain of it, in fact. If it helps, maybe try a new format of some sort? Like, propose it to a studio like Iron Circus or something? I've seen movies that felt like they should be TV Shows, shows that should have been shorts, etc., and as much as I already love this show as it is, I think it could do refreshingly well as a genuine animated comedy about character growth alongside all these existential shows coming out.

RIP Sheriff Hayseed. You may be gone. but you will never be forgotten.

I read your note at the end about perfectionism, and I can relate to that! In high school and college, I took art classes. I loved making art. When I looked at everyone else's, they just looked so much better, and I was always jealous. Everyone in my high school class always told me I was a perfectionist, and I kinda knew I was and didn't want to admit it. Over the years, I learned that it's the mistakes that make your work stand out! What I mean is that others won't notice your mistakes, only you do. Embrace the mistakes and let your work shine ❤

this is awesome, i hope it gets turned into a whole series someday ;w;

This was spectacular, and I hope that most have also seen the potential from previous episodes, on top of the greatness in this one. Writing, faces, timing, comedic premise, art style improvements. Mike, if you enjoy making these, this is a winning series. You don't have to trust some random loser on the internet, but you know how anthropomorphic animal addicts are. On top of how dedicated and bat-sheet insane they are.

All of my rop favorite moments involve the Mayor, she's a hoot! And she's a great character that works so well with the rest of the cast! Hope you're taking care of your health first! Love Hayseed!!

This is by far my favourite series from you, i LOVE IT to bits! As an artist i can understand the perfectionist part, sometimes it takes me months to finish something that should be finished in 4 days, as an artist it sucks that my perfectionist self cannot keep up with the algorythm, and social media content thirst. I want to make things GOOD i want to make them up to the unrealistic standard that i have, i KNOW i can do it, make it better, but i need time, time i cannot afford. Eventually i learned to let go of it, i learned it hurts mentally and emotionally to hold yourself to the perfectionist standard that you hold to yourself, being a perfectionist is GREAT for self improvement and does wonders on the learning curve of mastering a field and you can achieve greatness. But it damages you mentally beyond repair, it's the reason people like Michael Jordan are not fun to be around. I'm glad you're going to take time for yourself and your health, everyone deserves some time to heal. You're my favorite animator, please take care of yourself.

Thank you for sharing this amazing series with us.

Sherrif Hayseed is already fantastic. I can't tell you how many times I have rewatched it. Your stuff is amazing and so are you, and I can wait a few more years for whatever you decide to make. Thank you for the storyboards!

I have to say that we here like the Sheriff Hayseed videos more than all the others on your channel (Suction Cup Man close 2nd). Perfectionism is a bad cycle to get stuck in, but you underestimate yourself, these videos are really really good. Waited patiently for this next Todd Hayseed video ever since the last one and will continue to wait patiently in case you recover your mental health to the point that you return to the series. Good luck Piemations, and thanks for the videos.

Him saying fuck feels both in and out of character at the same time

I love this little cartoon, even if it remains just what it is. Thanks for putting your little guys out into the world.

Too bad that the project got cancelled, it was so good that made me having a big interest of the Wild West era I hope you wrist will get better and that the future projects will be even greatest despite the constraints

God i fucking love Todd so much why is he so adorable...

The comedic timing for this series is incredible, one of the best I’ve seen on a KZread Animated series. Even if the series never gets picked back up, I’m so glad that we’ve got as much as we’ve received. You and your teammates have clearly put a lot of thought and effort into it. Stay healthy and keep doing what ya love, my dude. We’ll support you no matter what.

I’m very sad to know this won’t be finished. It was amazing.

Wasn't particularly crazy about Sheriff Hayseed at first, but this short was absolutely perfect. The pacing of the jokes, the humor, the voice acting, literally everything was perfect. Please get a team together and continue forward! Piemations, YEEEEEEEEAH! :)

I gotta say, this series truly is beautiful. It's witty and funny, but also really sweet and pure. both characters work so well, and It just leaves such an amazing taste in my mouth. Hell, I even got emotional with that guitar song in the credits (it's amazing). All I wanna say is thanks for giving us this series, and I'm so grateful we got it! Thanks so much!

Even unfinished, this was enjoyable to watch! I hope your health improves, and thanks for all your work

Am I the only one who can see Taylor being a part of the main cast? She seems like she works well off the two of them and would be an interesting addition to their team, maybe a reluctant start as community service that slowly develops to her actually liking Todd and feeling good about doing good?

For what it’s worth, this one was a blast! I wish you the best in this coming year.

There's that saying about the quest for perfection getting in the way of 'good'. This was very good imo, I laughed at the jokes and was into the story all the way. But I understand all the other circumstances around it, it is what it is.

Hayseed is my favorite thing of what you've made, and I'm glad to get to see another episode in any form. I deeply hope you do return to it some day, and can approach it with a new perspective.

It always amazes me to see the early work of what eventually becomes a finished episode, the amount of work that goes to a silly video uploaded on youtube should not be taken for granted, amazing work from the piemations team on every video

Every little bit that I've seen of Sheriff Hayseed has had me smiling from start to finish. All the characters, the voice acting, the writing, the music, the animations, comedic timings -- all have been hitting exactly right for me. It really is sad seeing it go. I will rewatch all of it over and over again for years to come. Saddening to hear that it had been plagueing your mind all the while, and things not going the way you had wanted. I wish you the best of luck and speedy recovery and looking forward to whatever your next undertaking will be. May it bring you joy.

really enjoyed the video! seeing the animation in its early stages makes it easier to appreciate the story the animator is trying to tell and the voice acting and everything. it reminded me of why I started watching your videos years ago, it's easy to take top quality animations for granted when that's all you see. really sucks about your wrist hope you recover soon, take care of what you love

Even in storyboard form, this episode was very well done and I'm glad you put it out for everyone to see instead of just letting it sit on a hard drive forever. I'll miss this series, and I'm sad that not everything worked out as you hoped. But hey, your health comes first.

Love the unfinished stuff you have made! They all look so amazing! Take your time with healing and just do what you need to do!

This was one of the funniest animations ive seen in a while! Absolutely fell in love with the first sherif Hayseed and seeing this, even in storyboard form, really makes me wanna get back into learning how to animate so that one day i can help work on something like this. But no matter what. Personal health comes first above all. No matter what happens everyone here will be excitedly waiting for whatever the future may bring! Take care of yourself~

It's so sad that this has come to an end, but even so I appreciate the work you did while you could

Despite this just being a storyboard I was still laughing my ass off. Also I send my prayers to you Pie pictures. I really like pie.

This is so enjoyable. And the characters are so cute!

"Tod, this is stupid," is everything we love about Tod

man, i loved this and though it's disappointing that it's unlikely we'll get more more, piemations always makes bangers no matter what so i'm still excited for whatever we get in the future

You have many who are happy to support you in different ways from simply watching to actually helping your works! I hope 2024 brings a lot more inspiration and good things your way.

I know what it's like to put your heart and soul into something only to feel like it's not good enough or to feel inadequate. From what I've seen so far this is a fantastic series with lovable characters, excellent comedic timing, and great voice acting, and it'll be sad to see it go. Heck even in just an animatic form with voice acting, it's a joy to watch. Sometimes it's best to take a break, reevalute your priorities, and return with a clearer head in the future so that you don't burn out on something you love doing. I hope you feel better soon

Just imagined what it looked like fully animated in my head :)

Your comedic timing is IMPECCABLE. Hayseed always makes me smile every time I'm watching and I'm sad to see it go. I hope you're doing well and that your healing journey goes well. All the best!!

Man I love this, the characters and funny story are something I can really get behind! Hope one day, this is finished in the future, but I wish you luck on feeling better and doing new, even better projects!

Man, your amazing. Love the voice-work, storyboard, and characters so much. There was genuine emotion that made me want a full 12 episode, 3 season show

it's bitter sweet watching the credits, so much work put into something you can't finish cause of things out of your control. if this is the last one just know this series was fantastic, great style, well animated, got your classic writing style. it was simply a joy to watch.

OH MAN, I ALWAYS FORGET THIS SERIES HAS SWEARS

This was amazing, and it’s suck a shame we won’t be getting any more of this. I wish you the best and hope you’ll have a better future. Good luck Mike, we appreciate you and all the amazing work you’ve made for us. :)

Thank you, pie, for your work, and your creations. They really hit right
