I was just reinstated today to the YPP thanks to all of you who came and supported and got the word out! Without your help I would not have gotten a response and I am grateful beyond words for all the support I received guys. To celebrate here's a preview of what I've been working on, I know it isn't Sonic but throughout the ordeal this short has kept me busy and happy, it's become a real passion project of mine to finally work on this and I hope it will be a good indicator of how my animations will start to look. It's still in the works though so not all animations and polish is complete but I wanted to share something with you all just for everything that's happened. Also experimenting with a different rendering option for Source Filmmaker, hope it looks good!

Back with a new animation for one of my favorite Archie Sonic characters! I was especially fond of her transformation we saw in the Post Genesis Wave run, as super forms go, it felt like it suited the character well, I liked that the way to trigger it was distinct and the unique design she sported. Just all around was a surprise and a cool idea in my opinion, so I made a proper full animation of her in this form, I hope you enjoy it!

Brief animation for this week ^^ Is it an experiment on Tails Juncture? A different AU or comic nod? Is Amadeus to get a model sometime next year? Or is it an apology for delays on Unifier? I dont know ^^ but I hope you enjoy this little short!

Right, so my friend Flora-Tea watches me when I work on stuff and she recently got really good at spotting hidden faces when characters are moving. Kinda like in Sonic boom where you pause right when theyre in mid blink and what not. Anyway, I was working on Fionas Saga and she got a screen capture of her mid-blink during some dialogue, and it just kinda grew from there. I made a render of that very moment with a green screen background and I sent it to her to see what would happen, and that Manga page is exactly what I came back XD Suddenly I couldnt stop thinking about what would happen if Tails came across it in a book and Fiona happened to be right there. Sorry if this isnt as good as my other stuff, but I just had to get this goofy idea out ^^; Back to work.

Wanted to do something for Star Wars day this year ^^ Sorry if its not the best but I wanted to be able to have something heh. This doesnt really have much to tie into anything, just something fun, with a little bit of Tails Juncture. May the 4th be with you!

Yeah went with the master core background thing for the whole video, I couldnt resist. Sorry this one took so long, and for what it is it did take me way to long to finally get this one out, but here it is. I had voted for Tails and would very much love to see him in the game, heres to hoping it happens.

I love Crash 4 and was quite surprised to hear Roger Craig Smith a few times (didnt 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.
I dont know if this quite worked but heres a green screen version of the Is canon scene so you can probably put your own game cover of choice on it https://www.dropbox.com/s/lb9jl6mwalu5rm0/Green%20Screen%20Canon.mp4?dl=0

A small animation I wanted to try out when I got the idea to do the dancing dragon from Last Airbender. This actually came about because I found a complete reference of the poses for the dance, and I figured Carol would be a good dance partner. Sorry that this is a pretty shorter one and not as clean as it could be, Ive got some other things lined up that Im sure youll enjoy, but I hope you enjoy this fun little experiment all the same ^^ Why didnt I use the Sonic characters for this? Well with their noodle limbs and bigger heads it wouldnt have been quite as fun or looked quite as well I felt.
