Mike DarklighterHere's a little something I really enjoyed working on, from script to finish it was a lot of fun working this one out! Largely thanks to Aoii and MacKenzie's lines for this video, I hope I could do it justice ^^ Lilac and Carol's time under the Red Scarves is an interesting concept to me, while we may not need to know whole picture of what those years were like for them, I find it fun to think up of headcanons and scenarios like this one to take just a small glimpse at what they were like. Nothing action heavy, just a small quiet moment for these two.

So that's what I'm gonna do XD Enjoy this quick little animation meantime, I referenced Sakura's dance some time back to make this for Lilac and only recently was able to get it to look decent! I'd also like to wish the team and devs of Galaxy Trail a congrats on the game and a well earned break!

#mikedarklighter[SFM] ||Re-upload|| Dark Sonic vs. Super Tails revisitedMike Darklighter2022-08-03 | This is a RE-Upload! The description is copy pasted from when the video originally aired in July 11 2016 (Yikes) Long story short a group has been making fraudulent copyright claims over videos with Ross Bugden's music which this video in its original form used. To spare the headache I had to find the old session, re-render and re-release it here. If you remember seeing that one you may notice some textures are different, this is due to the changes that have been made along the way on a new computer since then. Sorry to bring in an older animation. Voices:
Still waiting on a few lines for the next part of the Unifier so unfortunately I won't be able to get to it in its entirety this month, so I pushed this little side thing ahead. Just a minor revisit of my very first video, which not only started off the channel but also is the true beginning of the Unifier series ^^ Hope this came out alright and you all enjoy! My next video I'm currently working on will also be a much larger scaled type of video and I'm so excited to be finishing it off! Also a big thanks to my friend and partner to the channel, Flora Tea, for editing up the video on HitFilm as well as the ending card!

#sonicforces #infinite #mikedarklighter[SFM] Sonic Frontiers Fan TrailerMike Darklighter2021-11-26 | What are your expectations for the next Sonic title? Sonic Frontiers appears to be the name that's being chosen for this game, maybe? Could be? Idk, but it has a lot of people talking and since we have no additional trailers to go off of, I took inspiration from the many fanarts and fan covers folks have made and did a mock/fan-trailer based on the supposed info we have about the game! I particularly had a lot of fun working with the title that my good friend Flora-Tea created, that for me ties this whole thing together!

#crashbandicoot #crash4 #animation[SFM] Carol BallerMike Darklighter2021-11-19 | Older animation that was too short to be a video but I added a short loop to it so here we are! This animation was inspired by Little Hoping's fanart of Carol playing basketball twitter.com/LittleHoping/status/1423631542996258817
I also used a sequence from BNA (Brand New Animal) as a reference for how the ball should move and what Carol's main poses should look like, it worked out really well I feel! Care to guess what episode of BNA I referenced?

#freedomplanet #caroltea #mikedarklighter #basketball[SFM] W U M P AMike Darklighter2021-10-28 | Hey guess what, this animation is still relevant XD Made this a good while ago as a short like 2 second clip, too short to be a video but thought I'd share it with you today on a bit of a playback. As the text said, this short animation was born from when the Crash Twitter account started posting an hourly Wumpa meme with no real context, and much to a lot of people's frustration. Personally I don't mind that they're teasing Wumpa League and haven't given much else, it's probably going to be the last major Crash thing for a good long while so knowing that something is coming works for me. Plus it's only been a year now since Crash 4 so I think we're still doing fine here. Yes the shadow breaks the loop, an oversight from long ago I'm afraid

Still I hope it was all worthwhile and my small way of sending off Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a tribute. This also isn't to say that this is the way things should've gone or that they should strive to get these other characters next time or anything like this, I consider this my headcanon for how the story of Smash ends.

Walk cycles have been something I've struggled with for the longest time, but I was really happy with these and felt like I made a real breakthrough with them, and it means so much that it was with Crash that I could finally begin to figure this out! Crash and Spyro have been there for my earliest years and really got me started with videogames, I hope to do more with them in the future!

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[SFM] Crash 5: Like a Bandicoot (Summons)Mike Darklighter2021-06-26 | The inception of this video has a long story xD Earlier this year we learned that Activision assigned Toys for Bob to assist in development for Call of Duty, which didn't sit quite well since they just got started bring Spyro and more recently Crash back in the spotlight. So let's put a twist on the whole situation. Let's say they come back to Crash afterwards and take their experience and apply it to the next Crash title. We get a Coco centered story where her now canonical video game addiction takes hold over her mind, causing her to imagine their next adventure as if it's a tactical cover shooter, maybe throw in some XCOM DNA. Mix a little Yakuza 7, and you get Crash: Like a Bandicoot! All that to say I made two animations for summons that Coco could call on, similar to the poundmates system. Would you be interested in seeing more summons?

I've got much to still learn when it comes to pose transitioning and character animation but I'm most grateful for the experience this taught me! Last I heard this recording session was likely for something else but I still think it's fun, and Crash is my number one for Smash Ultimate, there's no one I really wanted since the game's release

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[SFM] A Sonic DisclaimerMike Darklighter2020-11-13 | I love Crash 4 and was quite surprised to hear Roger Craig Smith a few times (didn't know he was N. Brio too btw) doing his Sonic-like voice for some of the commercial type moments in the game XD So naturally I just had to give this a go, tried to mimic in some way the bouncy animation style of Crash 4.
Audio taken from Crash 4 by Toys for Bob and Activision and voiced by Roger Craig Smith.

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.Lilac Beta TestingMike Darklighter2020-10-23 | Here's a collection of animations and renders I've done while beta testing a new Lilac model that's underway. Overall things look real good and I'm excited for what I might be able to do with these new models when they're all finished. Lilac is the first in a line of character models to be made, I acquired this one for beta testing by donating to gf.me/u/yzky52 From my understanding the models pack is funded and are in production which will take some time. TyrakatheDragonFan intends to release the models publicly in a pack when they have all been completed, however if you use Source Filmmaker or Garry's Mod and you are interested in getting the models early you can still donate to that page, Lilac is currently the only one available as of publishing this video. Do note that they will be in beta and will have some issues which you can report to him on what you find, I've reported a couple myself while testing Lilac. I may wait until the next character's release before doing a full fledged video, unless I think of something cool or fun with just Lilac, but I hope you enjoy these test clips!

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[SFM] Her Name is PaybackMike Darklighter2020-09-23 | A quick little animation with Payback Fox, aka an alternate future Fiona from the Archie comics. Now this video itself isn't a part of Fiona's Saga but let's just say we're getting into that territory a little here. Wanted to try to do something dynamic with the Sonic characters since I tend to reserve that with the Freedom Planet models and I'm quite happy with the results! Hope you enjoy the video ^^

Animation by me using SourceFilmmaker from Valve.[SFM] Freedom Planet, an OpeningMike Darklighter2020-08-14 | Recently watched the entirety of ATLA again and couldn't help but be inspired by the fighting choreography of the show, it really is something! So I started dabbling in recreating a few of the motions and that eventually lead to me putting this little thing together, call it an opening mock-up or something to that effect xD Special thanks to jesstoshy for providing the narration to tie this all together!

Animation done by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[COMMISSION] Duel of the SnacksMike Darklighter2020-07-07 | Commission video for @MBH3757 on Twitter. This was for a gif commission but was bumped up a little bit to be a short video, not something I'm quite ready to make a regular thing though. I need to go over my prices to determine what I would feel comfortable taking for these, and even then I would probably leave this to one or two slots at most. Gif commissions are brief 10 second long animations, details here deviantart.com/mikedarklighter/art/Gif-Commissions-OPEN-823410777

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[SFM] Disposable DesignMike Darklighter2020-06-23 | The idea of this short was actually part of a different idea I've had in mind for some time, but never really got it down in writing so I decided to take this small section of it and make it a short of its own! I hope you all enjoy this video with Metal Sonic, and just in time for Sonic's anniversary too XD

Made with Filmora.[SFM] Chaos ConundrumMike Darklighter2020-04-01 | It's been quite some time coming for this animation, but I do hope the wait was worth it ^^ It's been a while since my last classic short, and this one in particular was quite fun to put together. We start out with little classic Sonic on a standard any percent run when we learns that there is a final stage that he can only enter if he is Super Sonic. Thus begins his quest!

Animation by me using Source Filmmaker from Valve.[SFM] Isabelle on Opening DayMike Darklighter2020-03-20 | Just a quick thing I wanted to make for the new game today! New Horizons will actually be my first Animal Crossing game, and a lot of people I've mentioned that to have told me they wished they could experience the franchise for the first time again so I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy my time in this new land ^^ I hope that you likewise enjoy yourselves!
I was really hoping to have something a bit more special finished before the year ended, but I'm sorry to say I can only offer these brief animations I've kept on Twitter ^^: Sometimes I'll have some small animations/gifs or test videos I'll leave on there so if you'd like some additional content feel free to check it out!
