After a few weeks of being busy with life, I've finally managed to finish this short animation.


Just a simple premise, things pew pew at other things for three minutes.

Nice work!
A pity the Scorpion's side lost, but they put up a decent enough of a fight, considering they were fighting a an enemy group twice as heavy and Clan.

That poor ******* infantry though.

really enjoy your style. And that take on the Scorpion looks great, especially the movement. I think my next scorpion pic might lean on your model a fair bit.

Go for it! It's only fair since I believe the Stalker in my last video was based on one of your drawings a few years ago.

For the next animation I'm planning on putting a focus on in-atmosphere aircraft.

I though the torso seemed familiar though you stuck with the plantigrade legs. I think you modeled a few of my concepts, the Battlemaster, etc. It's all good. If I recall you asked permission years ago, so no worries.

But the stance on the 3/4 profile reminds me of a Tongue Lasher... so aggressive.

A yeah, I forgot about the Vulcan and Battlemaster! I mostly just remembered that LRM Cicada.

well. I'm pretty dang proud of my Vulcan. And you are the only one to get the cockpit right.

Seeing that Scorpion in action was great
Such a shame PGI thinks quads are "circus mechs"
Who knows, maybe we will see them in some future mechwarrior title

[Nakamura Takeshi]

Great stuff, good animation (like the last video), looking forward to seeing more.

[Kilroy]

I'd like to contrast the fairly dark and harsh setting of my last video with something a bit brighter, so this is the color scheme I am considering. I'd going to push harder to get some people to do voices in this one too. I've already got two lined up so we'll see how that goes.

I'm with Juodas. Pity the Scorpion lost. Even if it was against Clan tech. I hold little regard for Clan Mary Sue.

Loved the animation style, though. Retro!

I know!!! Everyone knows they belong at the County Fair!!! Circus is giving them too much credit!!!!!

Still messing with the look a bit, but here's a preview.

I've decided to actually write up a quick script for this animation. I'm looking for those willing to try out for a vocal role. If you want a part in this just send me a PM on this site. I just need your submission as either an audio file or a youtube video I can download.

I've uploaded the script to Pastebin for now: http://pastebin.com/eK1tfS7k

i wish I could help you, but not only am I a terrible actor, but my voice makes nails on a chalkboard seem pleasant.

None of us on this site are professional VAs, so it doesn't really matter to me. It's all for fun! I'll try to integrate anyone who gives it a shot.

Also, I will be distorting most of the dialogue to sound like it is coming over a radio, so that might help a bit.

[Hawk819]

Nice work, Kilroy. You should show this to Russ.

I'm cutting off all voice actor entries by October 11th so I can finish the animation. Please be sure to get in before that time if you are interested.
