Description Finally! After all these months, it's finished!
Hope you have nearly half an hour to spare!

"Hydrex Adventure" - based on the original concept by The Sonic Team, this is a variation of the "Sonic Adventure DX" storyline, but with my otter-characters, Leroy "Hydrex" & Pearl Rudderbuck.
With the exception of the otters and Krakatoa the Kraken, all the other characters are trademarks of SEGA.
Also, I did use a fair number of musical themes from different sources - though I did try to stick by the 30-second rule. Any clip that appears longer is really a sound-loop.

Life is quiet for the Rudderbucks as always, until Pearl, while out on a shopping trip, gets abducted by Dr Eggman's robots along with Amy Rose.
Upon hearing of his wife's situation, Hydrex and his neighbour Big the Cat set out to rescue her, following the trail of Sonic and Tails.
Meanwhile, Pearl is not a girl to let the grass grow under her webbed feet and makes her own plans...

Please note: I had to split this Flash into two halves due to size, since the program was unable to get enough memory to export it in one piece. I'd advise watching this half first, since the story will be incomplete otherwise.
First half: [HERE!]

Thanks! Well, I'm not sure what's likely to happen there - I'm hoping to move into my own ideas soon...

"We're not conjoined at the hip now, are we? ... not constantly, anyway" LOl lolololol!
Pearl doesn't sound like I expected though.
"Private" Lol! You've snuck a fair amount of adult humour in here, haven't you? (and there I was thinking Big had caught Krakatoa.)
Woah! Epic detail on the Eggman Robotnik ship!
*robot deploys machinegun* Wonder why they never try this in actual games?
"Alright, calm down, I'll save them both!" typical Sonic!
"You're right! What am I doing here?" The same thing you always do. Significantly more than any other Videogame damsel in distress.
When's Tails gonna put wheels on that thing?
Epic animation, Must watch second part!

Adult? There's nothing really explicit - mildly mature, perhaps? Nothing higher than PG!
Nah, Krakatoa would normally come that far upriver...

I guess ZERO had some upgrades since the last time Amy beat the sprockets out of him!

Heh, Sonic's always so cocky!

And indeed, Amy needed reminding of the fact that she's got to make more effort if she wants to impress Sonic...

Ah yeah... Tails needs to spend a little more time with that TornadoII - if only he wasn't always called on to help save the world...

Still, I like how you kept it sutle. (subtle? suptle? I don't know.)

DCLeadboot In reply to Axquirix [2010-04-28 19:59:21 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, "subtle" - yet we don't pronounce it "sub-tile"... ain't English spellings a curious thing...?

Yeah, I'm not even sure where that abbreviation comes from!
And along those lines, why is abbreviation such a long word?

Axquirix In reply to DCLeadboot [2010-04-29 17:48:58 +0000 UTC]

The opposite of abbreviation is shorter than abbreviation. Extension.

I feel very sorry for that explorer now. Despite that being my most favourite part yet.

Looking good, especially with the animation. Though I have to give criticism regarding Hydrex's voice being a tad stiff, if you get my meaning. And maybe speed up the story flow a bit, perhaps. But otherwise, it's all some great effort there.

DCLeadboot In reply to Frobman [2010-04-28 19:11:36 +0000 UTC]

Tom's still a little new at the voice-acting, but I think he's trying to work on it a bit.
Hopefully, in future works, he might improve it with a more "Barbossa-like" accent...?

not CONSTANTLY connected by the hip...? OOohhohohohohoho~ You even manage to put in a 18+ joke here, clever, lad, very clever!

hehe, I remember doing Big's voices for this, though I have to admit, the guy who did them in the end sounds way better

Boy, you really made a point in using the same music as in the game eh?

DCLeadboot In reply to HyritWolf [2010-04-28 19:10:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, not exactly 18+, but certainly a subtle innuendo!

Thanks! I'm sure he'll be glad to hear that - he did redo one or two of them where he fell out of character!

And indeed, I did have to stick to the game soundtrack in places!

wow, this animation is so well done. The characters move well and also very well drawn. I can totally see you as an animator for a kids tv show or a animator for websites. The music at the beginning (and where Hydrex & Big are walking) sounded pretty famillar but i cant recall where I heard It.
I like the bit where Krackatoa threw the speedboat at the Egg Carrier.

DCLeadboot In reply to Luke-the-F0x [2010-04-28 17:47:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much, Luke!
Was that Big the Cat's theme you meant, or the hornpipe piece? (Portsmouth by Mike Oldfield)
Heh, and Krakatoa's scene - it certainly seemed a more credible way of reaching the Egg Carrier than using a launch ramp!

Yeah, actually, I was just seeing this famous writer-illustrator today (an meeting arranged by the Momentum course I'm on). She was pretty impressed with my lot! Reckons I could make something of my characters, if I can get a good portfolio to show people. She talked me through the makings of a portfolio, so I'll have to work on it at some point in the near future.
