Appimage issues: "Could not initialize GLX" etc.

This is my first time installing Arch, but that goes without saying
I've been trying to use an appimage for OpenToonz Morevna (animation software) but it keeps returning with:

Could not initialize GLX
/tmp/.mount_57jyek/usr/bin/launch-opentoonz.sh: line 86: 12347 Aborted                 (core dumped) ./opentoonz "$@" 

I would have posted just that as the title, but I tried the Subsurface appimage on the appimage website too and it returned with a different error:

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: linuxfb, minimal, offscreen, xcb.

I've already installed Qt5, but it didn't solve the problem. I'm pretty sure this is for almost every appimage, but the main problem I want to solve is for the first appimage listed- OpenToonz that is. Before this I've installed a ton of packages just by going through the terminal output and finding stuff that the appimage needs, For the first few packages (like Qt5) the amount of terminal output had decreased, which I assumed was a good thing. After that the error messages themselves haven't changed and I've decided to consult the forums now that I've all but given up.
I don't really know what other information to post besides that, but for the subsurface appimage terminal output, here is entire thing that printed when i ran it from the terminal:

Re: Appimage issues: "Could not initialize GLX" etc.

There's AUR packages for opentoonz and opentoonz-git. I recommend using those, or at least start by looking at those for dependencies, etc.
