Darkleopard

Thats awesome! Lots of character!

Aga22

goddamn thats amazing.

I can't even praise this animation because I don't even feel qualified for that. It feels like telling Mike Tyson in his prime that he's got a nice jab. But I'll try it anyway. Nice work!

LoTekK

This is ace! Love how snappy and punchy the movements are. Timing and key poses are fantastic!

SuperSoupy

Heya Bam.

Lovely animation. The exaggeration works very well here!! Did you animate in stepped keys before you went to smooth? In any case it's a damn good result!

Sukotto

Awe-inspiring. The key poses are so awesome. You can really see his personality through this

DemoSama

that is looking so good!

Brad is at Riot now? He didn't stay long at Blizzard...

Either way, I've been loving everything I see for this web series. Brad use to post all the concept stuff. Great job keeping the same style. Absolutely beautiful.

yes im at Riot now. Absolutely the perfect fit for me. The perfect company for what i want to achieve in games! I was at Blizz a little over 2 years.

Thanks a lot for all the wonderful comments!!!

And this is STILL in step mode! We are actually not going to spline in the series...we want that cool 2d feel, and by animating everything in step down to every 2 frames, it achieves that feel while not looking choppy!
