Unicorns Fortune- deleted scenes | Darkmane The Werewolf
updated
#shorts
Music all from the game:
Godhome,
Mantis Lords,
Sisters of Battle.
Please note there is no animosity towards the person who commissioned this, I know life does get in the way of a lot of things but people do have to move on and I can't just keep holding on to the work I've done.
Quick reminder - I have a Patreon too: patreon.com/DarkmaneTheWerewolf
The story:
This does go back around 8-10 years now, when I had only been doing commissions for a year or so maybe. I was asked to animate two wolf characters fighting and this was completed, paid for and delivered. A while later, the same person asked for a new sequence of the same two characters and a few scenes that might combine with the first sequence to make them part of the same fight. This new set of animations was agreed, roughed out and composited with the existing scene, however it was NOT paid for.
Again, I want to stress that I do not blame anyone, the person who asked for these animations had always been extremely pleasant to work with and very understanding when things weren't going well on my end too. But in the end, despite a lot of back and forth, I never received payment for this second set of sequences - 7 years ago is where my initial correspondences regarding this started, 5 years ago is the last contact I had with them.
So with that, I think its safe to say that after 5 years the commission is likely no longer a priority for them to say the least and at the same time, I think that's more than enough time for me to move on too - I am no longer holding on to the work I've done and cancelling the commission. This work is still mine and I don't really want it all to go to waste as I did work hard on this at the time so I am releasing it on Youtube!
Obviously this needed a bit of work before I could do that
+ I separated the scenes from what was previously made and paid for - NONE of the work that was paid for is included, all of that belongs to the person who commissioned it.
+ Both characters were completely changed - Nothing of the characters resemble the characters that belong to the person who commissioned these aside from the fact that they are Wolves.
+ Small re-animated sections and assets removed - Replaced by more generic spells and movements, again so that no resemblance to the commissioned characters remained.
So the original work I'd done had essentially been traced over with two more generic and bland coloured wolves put into the old After Effects compositions to make this, I hope people can enjoy this 5-10 year old animation at last.

A Copyright claim on the original and the remake preview was made which is a fair claim as, despite the entire animation being original and 100% made by me, I used a version of the music track which I do not own the rights or a licence to use it. The fault lies with me and as such I do not intend to dispute this claim, but apologies if the original is no longer available to you.
This is also true of the version of the original uploaded on my Brother's channel too.
I'm not abandoning the remake though! I'll just be doing it properly. Heres a redone version of the Remake Preview with a Royalty-Free version of the track that I can use! Relevant Creative Commons attributions below with information about the track used.
However, as this version does have a slightly different cadence to it, I am having to redo all the scenes to fit the new tempo, some needed a second remake as a result which has set things back quite a bit.

I want to imagine that before the events of the first game, Hornet might've spent some time in the White Palace and met her older (And much bigger) sibling. Despite the pressures of being an empty vessel, they're a kind and gentle sibling in my mind and hopefully had a very positive relationship before Hornet was given to Herrah.
Its difficult to place events time wise and there's plenty of speculation, none of what I've depicted is canon and cannot be definitively proven but I hope you enjoy this hypothetical scenario anyway.
...Especially while we're all waiting for Silksong news or announcements XD

"Hart of Gold" created for the Two-Minute Horror Game Jam hosted by Infinite Noodle.
All assets and code were created by me.
I'm still very new to Unity and am trying to learn as best I can. I wanted to create something for a Game Jam to help with motivation and this is what I've come up with. Its not much, its very rough and my code is extremely messy but I learned a lot from making this which I am hoping will help me in future projects.
Unfortunately, I've had little time to test and polish this but I hope it is at least playable.
Thank you for looking at my game.
This was never intended to be a full game and at this point, I've decided to discontinue it and work on a game proper. I will still be keeping this as a sorta sandbox for me to test stuff and generally play around with but I dont intend to work on making it anything more than that at the moment. It also contains a mix of assets for lots of different projects that probably dont fit together well.
All assets and scripts were made by me.

Please be mindful posting in the comments about the game too.
The one we interact with in the game seems to be at least grown up or fully grown (Based on events in the game which wont be spoiled here) and therefore, if there were such a thing as baby Tricos, this is how I would imagine they'd be.
The Last Guardian is made by former Team ICO members who became part of genDESIGN and SIE Japan Studios.

Monster Hunter World (MHW) for PS4 and PC boasts a beautiful seamless world in which to hunt Monsters. I'm a big fan of Monster Hunter games and throughout the series, there have been a lot of monsters, some of which are returning in MHW, some are entirely new monsters.
I've also been playing a lot of MH Double Cross (MHXX) which is currently Japan exclusive but the unique mascot dragon of MHXX is Baru Faruku, an Elder dragon that is almost literally a Jet plane with the speed and power to match! Chasing this thing down is no easy feat as it can transition areas in an instant but this is fine when you just need to enter a loading zone for yourself to transition areas too. So when there are no load zones and you're expected to traverse all of the terrain yourself in favour of a more immersive experience...
This might be why Baru and its associated main habitat is not included in MHW's lineup of monsters.

I was hoping MHXX would be announced for localisation at some point since this was created based on the new Lao Fight in the currently still Japan only game =_= But not only will Lao put his front paws on top of the fort when he rears up and walks over to it, he now has a very avoidable chin move that he does if left alone and then he rubs his face on the top.
Lao just wants to pass through, y'know. =p

The latest version of GIMP as of this time is 2.8. However, I find it to be a bit cumbersome to use so I still prefer version 2.6. Older versions of GIMP are still available, 2.6 is still downloadable here:
download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gimp/v2.6/windows
For those of you who might be putting off trying animation because your software "sucks", GIMP is free to download and use. Watch my video on how to use it to animate here:
youtu.be/4_wbvL2Wa20
In future, I'd like to do more tutorials on GIMP and other stuff like Flash and After Effects where rather than creating short GIFs, actual videos are made instead as well as a Traditional Animation video too.
I am open to suggestions on topics to cover, but the main topics I want will be the more technical ones, where its to do with the software and not "How to draw [insert species of animal]" type tutorials.
This doesn't mean I'm forgoing animation tutorials entirely, I still plan to do more on principles of animation and such too.
I'm drawing on GIMP 2.6.10.

Last Guardian is amazing. I won't say much with regards to spoilers because it really is quite the journey from start to finish. So obviously, I would want to do some fanart for it =p
I've also been dying to use the pens because they were a gift to me from my brother. He also gave me a fountain pen which I've been using to write all of the things ever (Got my christmas cards done super early as a result) but its only with doing these sorts of arts that I can properly utilise the other two pens he gave me. I love using Fountain Pens XD
The materials I use are shown at the start of the video. The only thing that might not be immediately obvious is the paper I use which is watercolour paper. Drawn in pencil first, lined with a fine fountain pen using Carbon Ink and coloured using Watercolours. The flowery pen is just a colligraphy pen with normal black ink.

The reason my screen is sideways is because I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet PC and turn the screen and lid sideways to draw on. In this configuration, my left hand can easily press Ctrl/shift/etc when I need to while I draw with my right.

I've been meaning to do something like this for a long time - a tutorial on GIMP that covers the software itself because as with all drawing applications, the drawing part comes from you, the Artist.
For those of you who might be putting off trying animation because your software "sucks", GIMP is free to download and use. With this video showing you how, theres no excuse for you to put off trying to create an animation anymore =p GIMP is one of the main drawing applications which I use as is seen on the vast majority of my videos.
Here, I cover some of the basics of GIMP for anyone who would be unfamiliar with it or just started out trying to use it. The tutirial is primarily Animation focused, so theres a few tips on the basic brush dynamics, creating a sequence of layers, using Opacity for Onion Skin and finally, exporting an animated GIF.
In future, I'd like to do more tutorials on GIMP and other stuff like Flash and After Effects where rather than creating short GIFs, actual videos are made instead as well as a Traditional Animation video too.

In general, my draw videos aren't as well received as my animations. I know, but I can't bust out animations on a regular basis, you'll have to put up with a few of these from time to time =p so let me know, what you like to see in Draw videos.

On the subject choosing which Pokemon game to go for, back when Red and Blue originally came out over here in England, I was still small and had school. So my uncle kindly went out to buy me one of the first gen Pokemon Games. I was pretty hyped, being that I was still a kid, so I knew which of the two boxart pokemon I liked out of the two. That pokemon was Blue's Blastoise. My uncle knows I like Dragons, so he got me Red because Charizard XD

So, Pokemon GO is apparently a huge success. I stopped following main series Pokemon after the third generation and it's not really appealed to me since... Until now.
First gen was always my favorite, it came out at the perfect time when I was still at Secondary school and being a gamer from a very young age, I was definately in on it and found so many other friends who were into it too. So first gen will always have that special place in my mind as something I had immense fun playing and competing with friends.
I am very late to the party, but Pokemon GO did pique my interest when I saw it was only first gen (I can't handle the 700 or so that we have now =_=) and I've been meaning to get a new phone anyway, so my old iPhone 4 got replaced with something better that can also handle Pokemon GO. For a casual mobile game, it's pretty fun =p
Anyway. My last drawing video proved to be extremely unpopular in comparison to other draw videos I've done. Maybe it was the shorter length, the subject itself or other things. So heres something that might be more appealing. A longer video for one, a more well known subject and also a more stylised way of colouring.
In general, my draw videos aren't as well received as my animations. I know, but I can't bust out animations on a regular basis, you'll have to put up with a few of these from time to time =p so let me know, what you like to see in Draw videos.

I didn't finish the Biolante one. I'm trying not to make these too long. I know people much prefer my animation but they just take much to long for me to upload them at any reasonabley regular schedule. So I do these as a bit of filler =p
I also had a few other monsters sketched too, but including them would have made the video over 15 minutes long (Even at 10x speed).
I don't know why I don't draw it more often but I am a HUGE Godzilla Fan (I have to catch up on it everytime I go to Hong Kong XD).

The oldest run cycles on here (From my first year at university) are about 8 years old. 8 years of animation study as told by a select few run cycles I've done over that time.
The reference shown was a Muybridge chart of a horse in motion. The archives are full of great references of a wide variety of subjects and motions including horses trotting, jumping and kicking as well as other subjects like Bison, Cats, humans, monkeys and even large and small birds. A quick goodle search of Eadweard Muybridge + query will yield great results.

Often when warming up to draw or animate, I like to just draw and design a thing. I thought I ought to start recording some of the ones I do to put on Youtube. You can see that I eventually abandon the rest of this things body and concentrate only on the head and neck as the interesting part... Maybe I'll develop this guy a bit more in future.
Follow me, @DarkmaneTheWolf on Twitter (Because @DarkmaneTheWerewolf was apparently too long) for sneak peaks at some stuff I'm working on for both Youtube and DeviART. Or whatever random stuff I do.

My part of Channel Frederator's Original 151 Pokemon Collab, I chose to animate Ponyta and Rapidash.
When I first saw the Collab announcement, I was very excited to be a part of it, but a couple of pokemon had already been chosen. I thought about and started to list Pokemon in my head based on what I like and what I can animate well, and Horses was pretty close to the top. So I tentatively asked if Ponyta and Rapidash were taken and I managed to get the part!
However, once I started to animate, it suddenly hit me.... Welp, I have to animate Fire.

Been drawing a load of monsters recently. Heres a select few Dragons that I drew and recorded because everyone loves Dragons.
People who see the work I post online should not assume I get it on the first try, it is not expected that you get it on the first try either. Mistakes are ok to make, making mistakes is how we learn.

Left side is my drawing space only, right side is the whole screen so you can see more of what i'm actually doing.
The reason my screen is sideways is because I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet PC and turn the screen and lid sideways to draw on. In this configuration, my left hand can easily press Ctrl/shift/etc when I need to while I draw with my right.

Total time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
Back in 2008, I was a huge fan of MonHun games and drew a chibi Naruga: http://darkmanethewerewolf.deviantart.com/art/Chibi-Monster-Hunter-Naruga-104793459
Now, 2016, as I'm just about learning to draw properly, I decided I ought to have another go at it, and I'm still a huge fan of MonHun.
The old Naruga drawing had always bothered me, partly from the awkward angle, crooked tail and the misshapen beak, but even at the time that I drew it, it never looked the way I had intended it to look. It's probably one of the worst Chibi MonHun draws I've ever done (Also my chibi Teo but I digress).
For those of you who might be wondering why, if I was so ashamed of the old one, do I still keep it in my DeviART gallery and not just replace it with this lovely new one? I never delete any of my old work because they're all a part of my journey in learning art and animation throughout the years. They show how I developed as a young artist to what I am today, and I'm hoping that another 8 or so years is going to be just as interesting or more so than what I have at the moment.
Most importantly, it shows that improvement does infact happen not overnight, but over a long period of work and study. No one starts off perfect at anything and drawing is no different. For people who feel like they don't get it right the first time, I don't get it right first time either =p and perseverence will help you improve.
Other Monster Hunter artwork i've done, including the rest of the Chibi MonHun series and also the complete opposite - the Creepy MonHun series can be found on my DeviantART gallery.

I just upgraded my computer and with that I can now actually use upgraded versions of After Effects and Premiere with my lovely new Desktop Computer. It took a while to get used to some of the new stuff, especially in Premiere (2.0 was pretty buggy apparently) and a number of projects didn't convert to these new versions properly, but nothing majorly bad has happenned. All projects and works have since been converted.

Sadly, a currently cancelled project. The concept itself will be used for something though... That'll be for another time =p
I'm still doing stuff. Sorry to end the year with such a crappy video, but I got a new one lined up for next year that might be better.

The finished thing can be viewed on my DeviART here: http://darkmanethewerewolf.deviantart.com/art/Cat-Treadmill-Also-on-Youtube-562435909
Not neccessarily a speed-draw since it took too long. Some footage of how I made the loop of "Cat Treadmill" to show how I animate things. A lot was subsequently cut out so the video wouldn't be excessively long for me drawing essentially the same thing, the most drastic cuts are where i've faded to black.
Often I plan by stages and by key frames where I will start with the legs first at extreme points and fill in a few frames between them, making sure that the 4 keys work fluidly. Next, I work with every other frame, slowly filling out the legs, tail and head (Again, starting with the extremes where the head is furthest left then furthest right), then filling how it gets from one extreme to the next. Only when these frames work do I then interpolate the remaining frames so it runs smoothly and at the speed I want it to.

A few sketches of something I'm working on commission. Unfortunately, the final piece will not be available to view online but here are a bunch of the initial digital sketches I did for the final composition. An insight into how I draw and how many times I redraw before I make a finished piece.

A quick animation of my mascot Darkmane and a friend's character Glyde. Glyde has done ecologies based on the Monster Hunter universe while I have shoehorned my namesake character mascot Darkmane into some short comic versions as comic relief.
The two of us have somewhat... "Different" ideas about how to present our collaboration, where Glyde's aim is to fill stuff with as much written detailed and interesting information as possible. I on the other hand, just want to do silly stuff =p like blowing up his character with a Gunlance.
For more of Glyde's work, here is his DeviART:

Sorry for the quality loss. iTunes decided to crash during it's last update which limits After Effect's ability to export movies properly.
Follow Through and Overlapping Action basically helps to make something look more realistic in that it looks like it's obeying the laws of physics and such more. The most common example when learning this principle is the ears or jowls of a dog because they're so floppy.
In particular, with the jowls of a Dog, I've actually had someone come up to me to say that Dogs purposely open and close their mouths while running for some reason. This is obviously untrue, but I think the problem was they mistook the moving jowls for mouth movement where actually, the jowls just flop about.
This particular example has been heavily exagerated. As a secondary action, this can help to show the strain of running and energy of the character or show off a more goofy cartoony side to some dog characters.

Speed drawing of this on my DeviART page: http://darkmanethewerewolf.deviantart.com/art/Griffin-Speedpaint-On-Youtube-509085588
Total time: 2 hours.
Left side is my drawing space only, right side is the whole screen so you can see more of what i'm actually doing.
The reason my screen is sideways is because I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet PC and turn the screen and lid sideways to draw on. In this configuration, my left hand can easily press Ctrl/shift/etc when I need to while I draw with my right. This is how i'm able to do the stripey feather patterns so quickly because I can press X (Keyboard shortcut in GIMP to switch the selected foreground and background colours of the brush) or hole Ctrl (Keyboard shortcut to cahnge the brush into colour-picker while Ctrl is pressed) and just draw seemlessly without having to move to the toolbox all the time.
I'm drawing on GIMP 2.6.10.
So, heres something nice and cute with some detail. As seen, a lot of the fine details come from when i'm colouring or shading to really define and sculpt the shape of the creature i'm drawing.
You can also see how many times I redraw not just the whole thing (Which I redrew twice before I moved onto the proper lineart), but I also can get stuck drawing the same small thing for a while too (Wings...=_=)
Also, when I'm blocking out the character, while it may seem like i'm just moving the mouse about doing nothing, what I'm actually doing is first ensuring the "threshold"'d image is a continuous outline, then i'm getting rid of any specs that appear around the edges of the lineart. Not the best way to block out a drawing but I just couldn't be bothered to contend with all the fur and feathers... Besides, this is called a Speed Draw, no? =p
