So a couple things I wanted to talk about regarding The Legend of Grodot, or TLOG. Stupid Acronym…

Robot(nik)
So as someone who wants to take a career in, like, any field of Engineering, I spent quite some time debating how I convey technology in my series. One option was as you’d expect, going for a more realistic and at least half accurate portrayal, which was what you can see from A.R.E.S and SSC Odyssey 278. I took into account how fast ARES would need to move to be considered lethal enough in that he surpassed any human, and gave him little armor, more lightweight but at the cost of vulnerability. There was more, but I won’t bore you with the details.

The other option I had was sort of like Sonic. Dr. Eggman’s tech is so advanced, yet looks simple, cartoony, all that good stuff. I really liked how that looks, despite the thoughts in the far back of my head like “this looks so unrealistic” and such. But looking back, that same style is what gave me so many good memories.

So, Due to node limit and, well preference, I’m going with a more simpler approach. One of the reasons I was planning to re-do ARES, but I have to anyway because of the style change.

Speaking of Style
I thought a little while back it would be cool do add some personal flare to my animation, and it is a bit similar to how colors change in a dramatic scene in JJBA. Along with the basics, a strong attack will be highlighted by everything changing the hue, only for a couple seconds, not like JoJo where it’s for the whole scene. If they get hit multiple times in rapid succession, the hue will shift over and over. Just wanted to talk about it, idk.

That is all for now.
