Ashnflash

Ashton (known online as Ashnflash) is a Canadian YouTuber known for talking about and reviewing LEGO products. He uploads news, reviews and purist LEGO minifigure custom tutorials, but he is best known for his CMF Draft videos.

Early Life
Ashton started drawing since he was a little kid. When he got older he started to post his drafts on Flickr. He officially joined Flickr as Ashnflash in September 2014. People started to get interested in him and fans asked him to create an Instagram account. On February 2 2018 he made his first (public) post on his Instagram account @ashnflash. On March 26 2018 he made his first YouTube tribute on popular Lego YouTuber Just2Good’s channel. Where he did the drawings for the ‘LEGO Nicktoons Minifigures – CMF Draft!’ The first video still public on his main channel Ashnflash was published on July 1st 2018 ‘LEGO DC SuperHeroes Exclusive Figure Revealed’ where he talked about an exclusive Lego Batman minifigure.

YouTube beginnings
Ashnflash created his channel on February 28, 2017, but didn't upload videos until later on. It is unknown exactly when just2good and Ashnflash started working together, but the first time they worked together on a CMF draft was in "LEGO Nicktoons Minifigures - CMF Draft!" uploaded by just2good on March 25, 2018. He and Justin thought up ideas and then he translated them into drawings of minifigures. Some of their following CMF Drafts were posted on Justin's channel but on an unknown date in 2018 Ashton uploaded his first YouTube Video, which was a LEGO Incredibles CMF Series. The exact title and upload date are unavailable because Ashnflash took the original video down due to a copyright strike from the music he used because back then he didn't know what he was doing (he later re-did the video on April 5, 2019 with much quieter music and better commentary). His second video, uploaded on July 1, 2018, was "LEGO DC SuperHeroes Exclusive Figure Revealed" and is still available to watch to this day. His channel started to pick up traction with his CMF Draft videos, his most viewed video is his Avengers Infinity War CMF.

Ashnflash
His channel is mostly focused on LEGO. He does reviews of LEGO sets and products, news videos on upcoming LEGO products and likewise, he does videos on how to make custom minifigures using 100% official LEGO pieces, and of course, his CMF Drafts. Justin still helps out on their CMF series on his own channel, but the ones on Ashnflash's channel were made by Ash alone. He currently has almost 130,000 Subscribers as of March 2021.

Ashnflash Xtra
This channel is designed for the content that he wouldn't necessarily put up on the main channel. Such as video game playthroughs and maybe live streams, movie reviews and trailer breakdowns, and depending on the movie maybe even easter egg videos. The channel was created in 2018 and his first video was "LEGO DC Super Villains Level 1 - Ashnflash is Born!"

Ashnflash Movies
On this channel he reviews movies.

Personal life and social media
Very little information is available about his personal life or relationships. He has a Twitter account, where he frequently posts his opinions and updates on his channel and upcoming videos. He also has an Instagram account where he posts similar stuff, and even sneak previews of minifigures in his next CMF Draft.

Trivia

 * His old sigfig (signature figure) had him with an open jacket that shows he is wearing a shirt with The Flash logo on it. But more recent drawings depict his jacket mostly closed, but slightly opened at his upper-torso just enough to see the top of The Flash logo.


 * He used to draw his Minifigures so that they were always facing straight toward the camera, but ever since his Spider-Man PS4 CMF Draft he's drawn them at sort of an angle.
