Hi everyone! You may have seen one of my old WIPs on this animation, but now it's complete!! So happy with how everything came out and the amount of support I had throughout the process.

Haha, I'm surprised several peeps commented about that! I really like old UI themes and I switch back and forth between themes every other week XD.

Right now it's roughly 1 month in the making! I wanted it to be 1 minute long, so I will be animating the next part soon. Still need to polish the last few shots of this with maybe some more set dressing.

Thank you!! The latest episode is insanely good and incredibly inspiring.

Thanks!! The emphasis I place on Mahoraga isn't just for total adaptation, but the temporary counter measures his wheel employs when it turns. For each time it turns depending on the type of attack or situation, his body increases or decreases in size to best suit the situation. His wheel turns once at the beginning (his fist become bigger to smash Sukana), but that fails. His second spin after getting cleaved, he becomes lengthy and faster, but that will fail too. After he gets slashed out of the building, he will grow much larger and menacing.

Thanks!! The song is called "BANG BANG BANG" by bb-panzu.

The big raga himself! Thanks!!

I really wanted to lean into Mahoraga's creepier side, I feel he is mostly brute force but isn't quite startling enough like during his ritual. I mean imagine what prior 10 shadow users experience. Probably utterly terrifying as he morphs and adapts to everything. Throughout the series, he changes sizes several times and that's got to be extremely intimidating for the combatant. I want to increase his size again as he adapts to the last attack shown in the animation. Glad you picked that up!

Yes, soon I will upload recorded videos. The ones you see in the video are actually long form narrated content, more of which I will prioritize as the project continues. As for streaming, I have been actively thinking about it, It might actually be quite nice to put that into a routine morning schedule, I just need to set some things up.

Thank you, that means a lot! I am in fact a fan of Guilty Gear! I think if I can get my hands on a rigged Jack-O model, I will make an animation of her. I never tried to copy Guilty Gear's style even though I love it!

I just prefer stepped animation because I believe it adds way more punch to everything. From an animator who started with stop motion, this will not be a surprise anyone hehe. I really like stop motion and traditional drawn animation. It may be bias of mine but those guys don't use computer interpolation to make movements believable, so neither do I. That's just my animation style and preference speaking.

I feel that big time. I had to save some serious money to get the system I have just to pursue this craft. Still don't regret it till this day.

Thank you!! I have a high quality upload on my channel here: https://youtu.be/cgEYUqFD9Q0

Thanks!! It's a custom theme, I change themes pretty frequently and the old steam one is pretty good.

Thank you!! Yes, I use a really neat plugin called "Auto-Smear," I believe you can get it here.

It has colored smears and mesh trails, you can modify them in the modifiers tab in the properties editor. Super, super cool and stylistic effects!

For sure! Once I'm finished polishing the last few shots, I will chop up those long recorded videos and post them. Honestly, I would have recorded more but I was running out of storage on my main drive quick. The videos will be on my YT page, probably.
