New Anime series STARTED and UPDATES

Mkay well my new(old) whatever series has started

KAGEMUSHA!

THE PROLOGUE EPISODE HAS BEGUN:

Watch it here: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/647333

NINJAS!

A bit about this series: It's a reboot of the first (actually 2nd but the first was so bad it shouldn't even be called a series) series I put on NG. I have about 6 episodes written as of yet and since this is a drama type series it will be a little easier to make with the mocap since the fight scenes are more realistic and don't involve magic or weird stuff.

Also I'm getting a new mocap camera setup at the end of the month/next month that should help alot with the animation especially with multiple characters and fast movements for sword fighting.

The focus of this series will be solid story and character development. Sir Undead will reprise his role as the samurai lord Ashikaga and CodeblackHayate will help out with the other main female ronin character when we get to that episode.

I'm going to try to make something like an episode a month which should be do-able due to the type of animation thats called for with this project.

Also my Aries sky comic is update with the next batch of pages and I have....A PLAYLIST FINALLY TA-DA!!!!

All the chapters are separated on the playlist page now. But you can also check out the full comic so far here:

The comic is finally starting to get to the point in the story to where we will start seeing the nitty gritty of what is happening not just to the main characters but the worldspace in general. We'll also soon learn what exactly is the deal with Rion and her ability.

Chapter 5 still has a bit more to go with exposition of the Aresian side before we get to Chapt. 6 to see what happened with Rock and Pilla.

And incase anybody is interested I will spam my patreon http://www.patreon.com/user?u=102503

Cagemusher looks and sounds great, though I did find the characters kinda swayed around a bit, like they all just got back from the bar, but I like it. Usually animation of the anime genre is a bit stiff looking to begin with. And wow, nice work on the faces O_O

It's really nice to see you adding drama to this series, should be a blast! Also like the idea of no magic or over the top fantasy, that's been done to the hilt already. What it comes down to is personalities, not practicing the ethereal arts. Best of luck for a smooth and successful production!

It's weird finding the balance in realistic movement and anime which is typically limited. If I don't move when making the mocap it looks robotic- when I do it looks....too movey. I must find the balance especially because this whole project is more subdued rather than something like most pixar films which are cartoonily animated with exaggerated motions.

I think I have to study more video game cgi to get it right

Watched it a second time, I take it back! In fact the scene where the master and ninja are discussing the job, they looked kinda stiff, especially the close shots. It was just so unexpected to see real motion, like in the opening scene where it's 3 (2) on one. Mass Effect for example has some rather stiff body acting, and a lot of recycled gestures, but what gestures and strides they do do, comes off okay.
