[Riot Art Contest] - Andy C

Seems like there's some stiff competition in the contest, but i'm gonna give it a stab too. My choice of character - Shaco

Andyc · Nov 2014

Here's a quick preview of what i had in mind, still extremely rough. Obviously he's a demonic jester so i'm going for a blend of whacky clown and rabid zombie/frantic psycho like run.

Don't think it's quite there yet. Sometimes i look at it and it looks too cartoony. Most likely gonna change up the arms some how.
Any thoughts?

Is he running backwards?

It really does look like he's running backwards

Shaco does what he wants man! If I saw an evil Jester running at me backwards, I'd be freaked out too. That's some Silent Hill stuff right there. Run with it!

hmmm it does indeed look like he's running backward except he's not supposed to. haha!

It seemed ok in the preview i rendered out

Evanescfan · Nov 2014

yeah I was thinking it might be a design choice, with the demon jester and all, but I figured we'd be looking at his back then.

compare frame rate of preview and gif, could be the cause.

Eventually managed to upload my ultimate animation to somewhere. Still not entirely happy with it. Everything feels too even atm so gonna play with the timing a bit. Also the posing doesn't feel too strong.

Hopefully it's not too confusing.

This looks beautiful, I can totally see this in game.

I'm afraid this is my final submission for the contest as i've run out of time to work on it any more

Overall I think the ultimate is probably a little too long. The tempo of the moves could definitely be tweaked a bit more. But the overall feel is not bad, i.e. a lot of bouncing, spinning and jumping from a demonic clown.

The walk is a bit meh. Not half as creepy as how i expected it to turn out. Feels a little clunky too.

I think the ultimate is fine, could have been longer too.
Walk is smooth, all be it more stealthy than creepy

still, good stuff

best of luck
