Ivan Odongkara, better known by his online alias IvanAlmighty (sometimes spelled as IvanA1mighty), is an American freelance artist and animator. He has contributed to Friday Night Funkin' by creating certain pieces of merchandise for the game, helping design certain pieces of the game's UI, as well as providing the voice for Darnell.

Involvement

The earliest known instance of IvanAlmighty being involved with Friday Night Funkin' is when both him and PhantomArcade pitched the idea to create figurines for Boyfriend as early as the release of the demo.[2] Later, during the Kickstater campaign, it was revealed that a large exclusive figurine of Boyfriend modeled by Ivan (not related to original pitched figurine) would be shipped to the first 50 people that pledged $300. On the 30th of April, 2024, the same day the WeekEnd 1 update released, a small figurine of Boyfriend would be revealed and later available on Needlejuice Records' store.[3] A few days later, on the 2nd of May, Ivan would write a Twitter thread detailing how he sculpted both the Kickstarter figurine and the figurine available for retail. He would also reveal that a figurine for Girlfriend that will be sold at a later date was also sculpted by him.[4][5]

On the 25th of April, 2022, PhantomArcade would go live on Twitch with a stream titled "FNF work, it leaked, no point in hidin it" [6][7] in which he discussed the leaked WeekEnd 1 level, as well as work on some sprites for Nene. In this stream, PhantomArcade would reveal that they were real, and that Darnell's vocals were provided by IvanAlmighty.[8]

According to the game's GitHub page, Ivan also helps design the UI for the game.

Trivia

  • Ivan would post a sneak peak of the retail figurine on the 18th of March, 2022.[9]
  • In the Twitter thread detailing how he made the sculptures for the Boyfriend figurines, Ivan would also reveal that the image labeled "week54prototype" in the game files was used as a reference on how to model Boyfriend in a 3D space.
