No way another Max redesign 💀

This time I’m taking inspiration from shit I like, and that would fit for him. Note that these characters’ personalities do not influence his.

I color coded the inspiration board thingie so you can understand some of it

Moon and Sun: Grodotian Energy

Lunar Aether

This form of Aether wielding is graceful, lethal but focused on defense and healing. The color comes out as a pale blue, with a purple glow. Those who use it need to remain extremely focused and calm, for if not the power will lessen in efficiency and strength.
————————————————————————
S – Specialized

Lunar Punch – The user’s fist is engulfed in Aether, enhancing the punch’s damage. This can be used to heal, but requires more focus.
Lunar Kick (S) – A variation of the punch, used by Max. This cannot be used to heal.
Lunar Barrage – For a brief period, Lunar Aether flows through the veins of the user’s arms, allowing them to punch much faster. This creates a ‘barrage’, an afterimage that appears as several arms.
Lunar Restoration – Aether flows through the body, healing and closing any wounds or damage done. This can cause the user to faint if they are not skilled enough.
Lunar Shield – Aether is formed around the user and/or others in a dome or sphere, acting as a shield.
Lunar Boom (S) – A variation of Lunar Shield. The dome gets bigger and thicker before exploding.
Lunar Beam – A thin beam of Aether is fired at fast speeds, capable of piercing through bone and some armor.

Solar Aether

This form is more offensive, and at times brutal and more lethal than Lunar. The Aether appears pale yellow, with orange-red glow. While the Aether itself is not fire, it can cause things to scorch or burn.
————————————————————————
S – Specialized

Solar Punch – The user’s arm is engulfed in Aether, enhancing the punch’s damage and speed. This can be used to burn [a hole in things].
Solar Vision – Aether focuses on the user’s eyes, turning them bright orange. The user’s vision is greatly enhanced for a brief period, as well as reaction time.
Solar Blast – A large blast of focused Aether is released from the hand, needs to be charged for maximum strength. This burns and melts things in its path. If charged too long, it can slowly burn the user’s hands.
Solar Explosion – This is a very dangerous move that releases Aether from the user’s body. This explosion melts anything in its radial path. This must be controlled, as all the Aether can be released, causing the user to die.
Solar Quake – Aether from a stomp causes the ground to violently shake and crack, deterring anyone around it.
Solar Uproar (S) – A variation of Solar Quake, instead of shaking the ground a focused blast of Aether shoots up from the ground a distance away from the stomp, which can be controlled.
Solar Roar – Done by yelling forcefully, the user’s veins flow with burning Aether, and they gain strength and speed. Must be controlled, the veins may burst.
Solar Rain – The user shoots small balls of Aether in the air, then directs the, down in a shower of burning Aether.

There will be more in the future.

TLOZ Link vfx

Anyone know any good free sound sites or apps? Mf dying over here going through thousands of teleportation sound effects to only find the DBZ one every damn time 💀

Bonus points if you know what this chihuahua is saying

Xero’s Air Skates

Basic Explanation
He skates on air. That’s it.

Nerdy/Detailed Explanation
The glowing purple areas on the bottom of his boots quickly compress the air under it, making an extremely smooth surface that the boots, along with the wearer, can slide on. After a while, as all things do, they will stop sliding. Due to this, the wearer must keep the boots moving in a skating-like fashion, so they move upon the air instead of compressing one spot. Due to it being…air…the wearer must be skilled in balance and reaction time, as a wrong move can easily cause the boots to lose the connection to the compressed air and the wearer will fall.

@ralph make this a funny sidebar thing

Was I successful enough in the cold, cunning look in his eyes? Out of all the Crazy 8, he’s the most strategical in battle, and the best fighter due to his expertise in combat.

Collab Idea

So a random idea I came up with is the “Mirror Collab”. This requires two users. So, by 50/50 chance (like a coin or smth) one of us goes first. Basically, we make our ocs fight nothing, but occasionally get hit. The other person cannot see this until it is done. Then they animate their ocs attacking/getting hit by the first person. This, if done right, can make a really neat fighting animation.

I can also have multiple people do this, like a tournament. Winner gets a remake or smth idk.

Tenshi was probably the longest i’ve ever lasted as far as series making goes. Yes, I went far with Max, and I’m not done, but his series was constantly getting re-worked.

Here’s an old animation of how the first episode would’ve gone, if I didn’t change to Erinn. I was looking through old animations and realized I never showed it, so why not.

Tip: if your fighting animation looks like it’s hard to follow, smears can help convey the movement and speed, and impact effects convey the force and the location of the hit.

If you don’t have SN pro, it’s gonna be hard to do this as most impacts look shitty without some good ol’ blur and glow.

if you don’t know this it’s probably why you suck ass
