[Riot Creative Contest 2017] - Jessica Simard

Bansheesix

Hi! This is my contest thread. LETS DO THIS!!!!

Update:

Chosen animations:

1-Run
2-Taunt

Note: might do Ultimate attack if I don't like where my taunt is headed. Ill shoot ref for all. 

Character Idea: Chaotic good - The Destructive Savior

Inspiration:

Johnny Storm (Fantastic 4) : reckless, charges in without thinking, good person at heart. 
Negan (TWD) : Body language, general charisma from the show. 
Hancock : saves people but causes significant damage to surroundings
Van Helsing: good results, too much destruction

Ok so , I found a rig that came with a class I took in the gnomon workshop. He sorta looks like a LoL character, so I'm going to use him. I like his proportions. I'm just going to dig around and confirm that I can actually use this for the contest. 

Bansheesix

Ok so I got permission from Gnomon Workshop to use this rig in my contest submission   

I got it from this tutorial: https://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/combat-animation-for-games

Cool! It's a great looking character - how is the rig?

Bansheesix

pretty solid:) I can't find anything more that I would want from it. Also, simple enough to not get distracted

So cool you came up with character traits! I gotta work on my characters lil back story for some personality. 
Character looks cool, can't wait to see it in action.

Started doing my run, working on the legs / lower body, still figuring out some kinks will move on to upper body after.  

If anyone has something say, feel free here :

Made it a bit slower, fixed a few things, still trying to figure out the arms -_-

Did changes based on feedback on last version:

-Slowed the run down (as slow as I feel comfortable with for a run.)
-Reduced up and down motion on COM

also: 
-Added accessorie animations
-tried to smooth some arc 

To do: 
Polish - will keep it for later, to give my eyes and brain time to reset and have a fresher look later. 

Crits are always welcome of course.

This is looking fantastic Jessica, well done! The run cycles in League are pretty slow, so this is feeling really good now. Love all the accessories work, looking good. Only things that I can see - the hips might rotate forwards and backwards a little too much, although it's very slight. And the gun elbow feels a little bit static at the moment, but otherwise - great!

@asphaltcowboy
Ok thank you! I'll put it in my notes for when I get back to it, def valid points I could look into

Update: 

I decided to try a dance emote, because I am mortified of doing them, all my trials so far have failed, I feel like this is the good one! 

Uptown Funk butt giggling, this is right on with the attitude I want my character to have.

Well, long time no see. School is out, I'm back to work 
I rolled back a bit because after following some critiques, I ended up not liking my animation anymore.

Sorry guys, I have to pull out of the contest. I signed up to an Ianimate class I want to focus on that properly and not divide my attention. Good luck to all.
