Proxima64

Nicholas Foxworth Fedorovhttps://web.archive.org/web/20150811165251/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIYa4m29OsmlFLrRhcZirUg/feed (born: )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIy4X8bbzsE (description shows he made this in 2016 when he was 16, confirming that he was born between 1999 and 2000) is a reclusive outsider artist and animator, known for his 3D animations (and on occasion, 2D animations) that combine bizarre characters, models and voices with the aesthetic of 90s and early 2000s computer programs. He was very methodic in his goal of emulating this aesthetic, using actual obscure animation, image editing, text-to-speech and music creation programs on Windows 98, along with a real VCR to make the footage look authentically lo-fi. Fedorov created all the music used in his videos. He made a variety of absurd animations, and a series called "Franklin And Beyond". Like many similar 3D animators on YouTube (famously Seinfeldspitstain, Cyber 8, Xploshi, Ben Wheele, etc), his animations often contain dark and surreal elements, although in Fedorov's case it has less dark undertones and is more purely surreal.
==Online history and personal life==
Fedorov has had an active, public online presence between 2014 and 2017. He has deleted his original channel since then, although many of his videos remain on available on an unofficial reupload channel named "Nicholas Fedorov Reuploaded", as well as on Grand Channel, a former collaboration effort of bizarre YouTube animators, notably Andywilson92. He allegedly studied for a programming degree with a specialization in C++.
Although he had garnered a small cult following among fans of surreal 3D animation during his public online presence, he nevertheless deleted his channel and ended his YouTuber career for reasons that are notoriously vague. Shortly after deleting his channel, he claimed to be "doing very well with [his] fiancé" and he said that he had "moved to a rural location outside of the country thanks to a large amount of recent funds", and that he "still [creates], but [keeps] it private nowadays."
Not only his personal life before rising to minor internet fame is shrouded in mystery, little is known about his life after 2017 as well.
==Return==
Nicholas returned to YouTube on September 8, 2020. He now goes by the name "Proxima64".
