[Riot Creative Contest 2017] Camille Gangneux

Maccam

Hello, this will be my WIP post for this contest.

I'm a student and it's the 1st time I participate, so i'll do my best

I'll update soon ^^

Maccam

Hi!

Sorry I took some time to update, but here's the first post

I'll use a rig from Watchmeanimate, called Jaego (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XELoydqs9mQ)



Yep, A 3dsMax rig! But with all the cool features you'd expect.

The idea is to have a strong fighter that can quickly dive on an ennemy. His role would mainly be jungle champion, so i'll have to be fast and powerful at the same time.

I've started by his ultimate. Already played with some poses and spacing, but nothing definitive yet...

Looks very promising! It has the style and deformations of LOL!!! 
No observation so far.

Hi

Ok, so I basically completely started over...

Long story short, I think I might have rushed a little. I wanted to animate straight away and I didn't take time to thin k about the concept / personnality of my champion

So I took a few steps back and I decided you make a drunken master !!!



So here's a draft of the walk cycle (movement speed is the same as Lee Sin: 345)





It appears that animating a drunken walk isn't easy x)

I'll take some time to think about the other animation, but with that character I'll probably do a recall (with some sweet training moves)

Thanks for reading, and C&C always welcome !

Maccam

Hello,

I've been worjing on a recall animation.

Here's some drunken warrior... practice!



I'm far from finished, but any critique is welcome

Cheers!

Maccam

hi there!

I improved the recall animation, tweaked the timing and tried to make the character look more dizzy

Hi @Maccam really cool idea. Drunk style boxing is great!  i think at  the end before doing the flip you can play with a longer anticipation so we expect a great move and then he flops!!   i like the timing how he grabs the bottle, the only thing that caught my eye was how rigid the arm looks when throws the bottle away.  Would be great if you can post front and side view. good work 

Maccam

Thanks for the critique

I'll work on that soon. in the meantime I edited my previous post so you have the front and side view.

Maccam

Also, I've been working on the walk cycle

Maccam

Hello,

I've be doing some light adjustements on the walk loop (I wasn't satisfied with that head movement)










Also, here's the update of the recall animation

I tried to improve the anticipation before the flip, but it's kinda hard with only 8 seconds not to touch the timing of the rest of the animation. And at least, I started animating the belt a bit

Nice to see your progress on this one! Keep up the good work

lol I love this idea. Keep up the good work!

Maccam

Hi everyone, and thank you for your kind comments ^^

Here's a little update. I've changed some timings (mostly when he drinks) and tried to have clearer poses.

Also don't mind the belt... I'm not done with it x)

I'm not quite satisfied with the left arm, but still, here it goes:

Maccam

Hi there! Long time no see... sorry ^^'

First of all, I wish you all a Happy New Year for 2018 !!!

So, I've improved the recall animation. I added more overall movement and derformations so the character looks more drunk, and i made the bottle stretchable





Now i have to finish the overlaps (belt) and the walk animation... there's no much time left but i'll do my best

C&C always welcome

looks great! you got the skillz to pay the billz szon! it'd be nice if you exaggerated wobble abit more before he picks up the bottle, if its meant to be a drunken wobble that is. Also offset one of the legs as it falls to the floor at the end would be nice.

Dhairyasheel

ncie one! one thing though when he drinks his chest pops rather stomach should | or try adding wave from mouth to stomach to it will feel like drinks is going in 

Maccam

Hello! Thank you all for you comments and kind words.

I've exagerated the whole animation, and found a way to animate the belly (had to slightly modify the rig to do so).

So here's my submission! There's still a lot of room for improvment.
