Unit Preview: Xenomorph Runner

[A Viking Yeti]

Sounds cool... Unfortunately, there's been a minor set-back. All my animations got messed up... beyond recovery . I'll have to completely redo all of them... That's gonna add a day or two to the development time... Sorry. Back to the 3D drawing table...

 

[nameless53]

*Jackie Chan Police drags Nameless back into the jail cell*

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I sense you have an appetite for distruction Nameless....mhahahahah!

Good luck finishing the unit Yeti...still, an excellent first unit.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Thanks, both of you... Appetite for destruction, I do too. Why do you think I'm making the unit . Nameless, I think I'll be joining you in that jail as soon as I finish this unit... Unless THEY DESTROY IT FIRST!

I once played a Sci-Fi version of D&D(Dungeons and Dragons), in one particular session, my character got the crazy idea that mixing Alien(as in Aliens) DNA and Hornet DNA with some domestic dog DNA(Only for tameness reasons) would make the ultimate pet. Instead, the Flying-Aliens from Hell(thats what I remember them as) took over and invested the ship. My friends were not happy at all..

 

[A Viking Yeti]

If only you had had one of those whistles that are beyond human hearing... Or maybe a shock collar (a really powerful one).

I seem to be much better at drawing these than animating them. I wish I knew how to use drawings as model references, then I could make some crazy units...

 

[A Viking Yeti]

I have remade the run, default, and death animations (finally)... They are posted on the first page. I have resized them (they are just about as big as the modern infantry -though they never stand upright), and fixed some minor bugs/dislikes... Going to the Carnival tomorrow, so I won't be able to do anything then, but Sunday I'll probably do the rest of the animations and render if I have time... Monday and Tuesday for palette/pasting work and putting it all together...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Looking good so far....

I learned an important lession that day....Aliens that fly are very bad...

 

[nameless53]

wow, all them in a day?

have a well deserved break at the carnaval!

 

[A Viking Yeti]

TO SOG: Yeah, especially if you fuse them with hornets (could you imagine those stingers... Well, I'm sure you can ).

TO nameless53: Yeah, animating's the best part (even when you screw up, since it's easy to fix and you usually get a good laugh out of it -at one point it looked like my Alien was trying to be a conductor, that was very funny )...

EDIT: I have a while before I go, so i'm going to try and animate some more...

have a well deserved break at the carnaval!

It's only the "carnaval" if there are hot topless women and transvestites

 

[A Viking Yeti]

It's only the "carnaval" if there are hot topless women and transvestites

I live in Kansas, none of that here. Plenty of Bibles though ...

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Ok, then I guess I'm going to the "quasi-carnival"...

Why? only the transvestites are going to be there?

Actually, I was referring to the fact that Carnaval is the specific party event, and Carnival is just a regular carnival.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Yeah, I just noticed that right after I posted ...

EDIT: The spelling, not the transvestites ... I've never had to say that before... And hope I never will again.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I live in Kansas, none of that here. Plenty of Bibles though ...

The Bible. Good stuff. I have a Bible. It helps keep my life balanced... well... maybe not my life. Maybe just my desk.

jk

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Good joke though. I don't find much use for it, but apparently it is the cure-all for the Kansans (and I mean they think that it cures everything, and everyone )...

EDIT: In case anyone is, I don't mean to offend anyone by that comment...

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Neither do I (mean to offend anyone).

 

[A Viking Yeti]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I screwed them up, AGAIN! "Skeleton inconsistent", IT WORKED LAST F'N TIME!!! ARGHHHHHH!

Sorry, needed to rant a bit... Maybe a bit more... Ok, I'm finished. Well, I've re-redone the default and run... *sigh* At least this goes fairly quickly. And now that I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE that I don't have to edit the skeleton anymore, it shouldn't ever happen again (or at least I hope it won't... I'll end up throwing my computer OUT THE WINDOW)...

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Ok, I've re-redone the run, death, default, and made an attack A (inner-jaws) which is not posted. The run looks entirely different (more animalistic)... Hope you guys like it, 'cause I'm finished for today probably...

EDIT: Now that I look more closely at the run, there seems to be a short pause when he lifts his arms up, though I can fix that just be deleting a frame, so no big problem...

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I feel your pain Yeti...

BTW: Your lucky to live in Kansas...where I live people aren't so open about their faith, and many scorn that kind of thing...
