I did a stream with Ryo again this week. The topic was genre swap, where you take one character, and remake them in a different genre. I decided to take my own spin on this, and redo a D&D character of mine as a sci-fi character.
My original idea was to do a meteor hammer animation. A meteor hammer is a Chinese weapon that is a weighted ball at the end of a long 6-foot, or so, chain. I had a D&D character that used a meteor hammer and I figured it might be a fun genre splash to bring it into a sci-fi setting.
I think this is a nice foundation for something, but this animation is just lacking punch. My favorite part is the flow and the jump at the end. The stationary swing could live on its own, and it's not very interesting. The big swings are the cool part, but either the ball needs to stay on screen, or I need to change my camera. I am going to revisit this one in the future, for sure, but the point now is that it's a one-evening animation, and I move on.
