Liam Vickers is an American storyboard artist, animator, writer, director, composer, and voice actor best known as the creator and showrunner of the animated web series Murder Drones.^[3] He is also the creator of CliffSide and Internecion Cube, as well as his discontinued Creepypasta channel Scary Story Time With Liam. He has also worked as a production assistant at Nickelodeon and Netflix, and a storyboard artist/revisionist at ShadowMachine and Titmouse.^[4]

Liam Vickers began as a writer at the age of 17 when he watched Creepypastas on YouTube and felt inspired to write stories with his narrations. He would soon create his first YouTube channel named Scary Story Time With Liam in 2013.^[5] He spent about 6-7 years writing Creepypastas and music on the channel and gained a fan base for his style of writing. His most notable work from the channel is a story series named Design. This would become the most popular series on the channel and a huge stepping stone for Liam's career.^[6] Around 2015 Liam launched his second channel, SpoopTime. This channel was intended as a dumping ground for his classwork at USC. Primarily animations, but also featuring several original songs.^[7] In 2018 he created a third channel named Liam Vickers Animation where he uploaded his post-USC animation work.^[8] Shortly after he officially graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Animation and Digital Art, Liam got the profession of a Storyboard Artist. As an animation artist he uploaded test footage for a long existing project titled Let's Split Up, originally started back in his days at USC under the title "Split", this footage was uploaded on February 10, 2018 on Liam Vickers Animation and sparked much more interest than anything uploaded to SpoopTime,^[9] that motivated him to create more animations listed below. On July 25, 2020 Liam made an announcement on Scary Story Time With Liam that he was discontinuing the channel to pursue his career.^[10] Liam has interned at Netflix Animation, Sony Pictures Animation, Warner Bros. Animation, Nickelodeon Animation, and DreamWorks Animation.^[11]

The first major project of Liam Vickers was named Cliffside.^[12] Cliffside is Liam's thesis, having worked on it for over a year. The pilot episode was released on May 20, 2018. The story is about a town in a valley where all sorts of monsters live. A self-confident teenager, his apathetic partner and a spider-girl saves Cliffside from a rather unconventional evil. It was very well acclaimed in the growing realm of Indie Animation, notable for its goofy humor and unique characters, the pilot has been garnering over 10 million views as of 2024.^[13]

After the success of Cliffside, Liam made several animatics under the tentative title of "Internecion Cube".^[14] The story of the series follows a 15 year old boy named Max who steals a cube from the government, whom is an AI capable of destroying the whole world. He and his classmate Kirie Bonin team up to save the world from an unknown threat related to the Internecion Cube. Internecion Cube was made for the purpose of storyboard practicing for Liam Vickers to push himself to see what he could do.

Internecion Cube quickly attracted the attention of fans, and its popularity grew thanks to the support of communities on YouTube and other online platforms.^{[15] [16]} As of 2024, the series is on an indefinite hiatus as Liam Vickers went to work on Murder Drones.

Liam Vickers acted as a screenwriter, storyboard artist, and character designer.^[18] Liam had also voiced several minor characters throughout the show.^[19] It is the first work of Liam Vickers that got picked up by a studio and turned into a show.
