Kirbopher (aka Chris Niosi) is an Author and Artist on Newgrounds. He is the creator of various popular movies and series, including TOME, aka Terrain of Magical Expertise.
Style[]
In his earlier works, including the TTA series, Kirbopher predominantly used customized sprites to animate his work. As time went on though, he developed a loose, goofy art style similar to Egoraptor. Most of Kirbopher's popular works tend to use said art style to parody various works, including Power Rangers, Nintendo games, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
