Description
"You're outnumbered four to one" ... again.Someone needs to tell Faulkner that he shouldnt pick fights with Mathis. It never seems to end well.
Remake of an old animation (and one of my more popular ones) to bring it into 2017, staring my year off with a bang! Faulkner once again finds himself behind the controls of the Megalo unit, squaring off against his business rival/nemesis Mathis Crowe, a cybernetics addicted crow willing to do just about anything to shut out his competition.
You can view the original animation here. M e g a l o.
still image version is here:
I had significantly more fun with this version as I did the voicework for the Megalo Unit's AI and a custom remix mashup of a few songs, since nothing official really tops the original version's remix. I'll post to soundcloud if theres enough request for it. Thanks for everyone who came on stream and watched the progress made, was a real adventure! This is also the result of me being inspired after jumping into Titanfall 2 headfirst and loving every second of it. I personally prefer Tone, but Northstar is pretty cool too.

Oh, my flipping goodness! This is truly breathtaking! It's so beautiful with the animation, the smoothness, the tiny details, the movement, the effects, the colour changes and the camera shake! I would really love to learn these things from you! If there are any tutorials, I would love to see!
Magnificent job! I want to applaud you!

Have you ever thinked about to draw the megalo unit itself?? Because i can't realy see much from inside. >< But i'm realy curious about it. I have some ideas but it's yours after all and i would love to see your illustration. I guess you don't have much time, so i don't realy expect to see one, but it would be awsome.
(Sry for my english... ><)

This is honestly incredible; I was only there for a small part of the streams but holy heck was it amazing agh
One quick question which you probably get like 50 times a day (rip) but do you individually paint each aspect, even if it's hidden?
For example I assume the head and the body are on different layers, but the hair on top of the head only seems to moves at the tip whilst the base is connected to the head, so were those painted separately?
I know nothing about aftereffects but I own it so I want to start using it haha

I'm really glad you like how it turned out!
My general rule for painting the rig/background is the following:
• Background is completely painted, so that if i move the character, there are no holes that show through.
• Body parts that may become visible with a movement shift in the character are painted completely (entire face, ears, various parts of the torso)
• sectioned pieces such as joints are painted up to a certain point in which they overlap. (arm connections, neck connection, robotics on the exterior, etc). The railgun is painted up until the base joint of the back hinge, Mathis' exterior rig is painted from the knees upward.
All moving components are usually done separately to allow for more flexibility in movement. Merging all the layers makes the rig incredibly bulky but saves time. Separating layers takes longer to animate but it looks way better. Usually I opt for the latter.

good sound design can make something thats already 'cool' and make it spectacular, which is why i have so much respect for sound designers in games and visual creative content. I'm really glad you like how it turned out.
