I can see a lot of these guys’ personalities in their designs. Whittaker is very catlike in appearance, and the music further suggests that Whittaker is a rambunctious, overeager maniac who lives for the hunt; much like how cats are notorious for playing with their food, sometimes before they even kill it. Bamforth’s design is very reminiscent of spiders, calling into account the patience and cunning spiders possess. A spider will wait for two weeks in its web, and may only get one insect. There are even some spiders that can formulate attack plans, like the Portia jumping spider. Because of these traits, spiders are the kings of their domains. These two Kivouachian hitmen represent the two sides of the predator coin. Whittaker represents the cats, who live for the hunt and will prolong as long as possible. Bamforth represents the spiders, who use their cunning to acquire resources and are extremely patient when need be.
Why do not many people respect this comment and probably very accurate prediction of these characters, Thank you for this very detailed analysis of these 2 who have yet to be shown in an episode
@@edenr9917 check out jumping spiders. They dont use webs and yet intentionally hunt larger insects (and other spiders). They are probably the most intelligent of the arthropods.
@@TheBoundFenrir Pretty much. At this point there's probably not a whole lot of conceivable skills out there the older ones aren't at least proficient at.
Know what? I feel like making a Kiv OC that's just a Tailor...I really love the Kivouack species FENNAH created, it means the character being created has zero limits to its design

Anyone notice for Whittaker, background spikes point outwards For Bamforth, background spikes point inwards What an amazing visual design choice,for Whittaker he looks for trouble, for Bamforth trouble comes to him
I always felt like there was something a little odd about everyone’s walk cycles, and that cloe-up of Bamforth’s legs finally clued me in. None of their ankles move hardly at all. Finally, one less thing to keep me up at night.
Oh my god, THATS what was bothering me about the way the walk. Some joints dion’t move, while others move too much. And i dont think whittaker has toes. Maybe he’s wearing shoes, but still. No toe room= no toes
I've noticed its specifically the legs of all the kivouachians. I think it's because he animates them using the bones instead of controllers, but frankly I think he could do with some more reference work. I've noticed his characters usually feel too "Heavy" whenever walking but don't feel the same above the waist. it makes their movements a bit uncanny-valley to me
@@Second_UNIT the characters are supposed to seem more heavy then usual, considering their bodies are really dence from how long they have been around. However, i do certianly understand where you are coming from. He seems to only focus the weight on the bottom half of the body. I hope in the future he will improve on this, other than the walking animation and how the weight of the characters are displayed, the animation is pretty good.
You say so much without saying anything at all Its clear Whittaker is the more energetic of the pair: the man of action and willingness to get his hands dirty. One who would enjoy toying with his prey. Bamforth: The levelheaded bloak not afraid to put Whittaker, or anyone else for that matter, in his place. A true no nonsense kind of guy. I may be off, but these are the vibes im getting from the test alone ^^;
For some reason I really wanna disagree with you just because I feel like if they're kiv mafia they're gonna want to surprise considering the species patterns we've seen
Ok, so if I stop at *exactly* 00:32 I can see that Whittaker has extremely gorgeous silver eyes. God I love his design so much, also, #DemHips cause hot damn does he have a nice set.
Two things I have to praise for this little number. First off, while it is a bit serendipitous that there happened to be two songs with the same title from the same source, I do like how the duet in the 2nd song is just enough like the first song that it feels like they were meant to blend together. Really helps tie these two characters together as a pair. Secondly, if there is one thing I absolutely cannot praise enough in character designs, it's silhouettes. A good character is instantly recognizable as just a flat cutout on a flat background, and you have definitely achieved that here. Particularly with Whittaker, just everything going on with the shapes of his ears, hat, and spikes blending together is fantastic, I really do love how the hat is so integrated into his face as though it were a part of him. The tally marks, stripes on the tail, and black outlining around his mouth, all the little black details on white are almost like a silhouette within a silhouette, fantastic stuff here.
Y’all loving Whittaker but Bamforth’s design is fucking awesome! I didn’t even realise he had multiple arms till I wondered how his hands work and BOOM! 8 arms! And it’s amazing with the gun slinging and knife wielding! Nice job, Fennah!
That's why I love these videos so much, they're not just showing off a new character they're awesome music videos with really fitting music. I've bought almost every song that's been used in these tests and I love em
I adore the contrast of the songs, the complete disconnect between them. The first one seems youthful, arrogant, living fast and having fun even if it means death. The lifestyle leads to the end. The second seems resigned. As if to say that at the end, they might as well do something with their remaining time. The end leads to the lifestyle. I know kivouachians don’t have set lifespans, but I love the idea of two people finding the same path from two almost completely opposite motivations.
I can't stop listening to Whittaker's background song, it fits the character perfectly. Since I saw this video I downloaded the complete song and every time I hear it I can't help but think of the character, FENNAH showing off his work as usual.
Whittaker honestly makes me feel a lot better about my own body type, it's not often you get accurately proportioned, bottom heavy male characters, so thanks for the representation! \o/ (definitely going to be a future cosplay, you're so talented and continue to be an inspiration to me)
@@Blue-df3zzTrust me bottom heavy men do exist I have seen many actually but that’s because I live in South Africa and I think certain racial groups are more prone to having a certain body type.

Is it weird that I was really impressed with Bamforth’s shoes? Like when he appeared and started walking, the lighting really caught my eyes and I was so impressed with how good his shoes looked. I have a problem drawing shoes- so I guess I was just hella impressed that he was able to model them so well. Excellent attention to detail! But amazing animation as usual! I love how much the tests have improved. 💕
I am absolutely in love with Bamforth, from his clothes to his movements and facial expressions each and every single piece of him was tailored to tell his story and I adore it so much. I wish there were more youtubers who put this much work and effort into their videos.
"I DRANK DAT WATHA" The amount of times that was played during the stream, it ringed through your head- Also thanks youtube for burying this in my notifications, smh. EDIT: OH WOW, DIDN'T EXPECT THE BAMFORTH ANIMATION TEST TO BE HERE :0 !!! Ahh it all looks great!! amazing work fennah!!
OH MY GOD FENNAH YOU AMAZING SPECIMEN. I THOUGHT WHITTAKER WAS AMAZING BUT WHEN I HEARD THE MUSIC FOR BAMFORTH.... *breathes* Let me just say the excitement that someone else found that song fitting and beautiful is amazing. Though I could be overreacting. "Dead Man Walking" is a very personal song that I love due to the fact that it just screams the main character of a comic series I aspire to publish Just. A lot of excitement. So much yes. Y E s.
@@ObsidianHearts They awfully look alike. I mean their colors aren't the same. But Whitaker is taller and Lucy is red and white and he's black and white.
I'm seeing tally marks, so Whittaker keeps tabs on how many uh "clients" he's had to deal with does he? I absolutely love the contrast between them and can't wait to see them in the series. Your animations are getting better and better as you go. and the names chosen for the characters are always a perfect fit o.o
Man I know this is over two years old, and in spite of Fennah's newer videos, I think this is some of his best work. Yeshua's new one is really, really good, but there's just something about this one in particular. The personality of the characters comes through here, and I think with two of them, there's a very intriguing contrast between them. The description implies they're at least somewhat close, and there's so many different ways a dynamic like this could go, and I just want to see all of them. Not to mention the *character designs*. Whittaker's design is fantastic, and I'm definitely biased towards him, but Bamforth is absolutely amazing. Someone else said something about their silhouettes being instantly recognizable, and I 110% agree. This is fantastic, and I know a lot about the Kivs has changed, but I really want to know where these two end up, especially because I don't believe we even saw them in Satellite City, but Yeshua did appear for a short while and I know he's being revamped.
LYRICS!!!! : WHITTAKER : She got eyes like a neon sign Stare you down and make you cry An iron will I'm the first to kill You wanna see her stuff she gonna show ya. Her poisin lips with the metal grips She gonna pull you in and bleed you dry you never mess with her electric kiss you think your tough she gonna own ya I fell for the devil's daughter I jumped in yeah, I drank the water Tell me doctor can you fix my brain Cause every woman says I'm insane Let me loosen this ball and chain Theres no use talking I'm a dead man walking I was thirsty and I wanted more Then she burned me with the rebel soul Tried to warn me and I should have known Theres no use talking I'm a dead man walking So lock me up and throw away the key Cause I need shelter from the things I've seen Save me from this leathel company So I can breathe Ahhh! And if I see you coming I'll leave the engine running She's just a criminal Ooh she's right behind ya So Tell me doctor can you fix my brain Cause every woman says I'm insane Let me loosen this ball and chain Theres no use talking I'm a dead man BAMFORTH : I'm a setting sun But I'll never run I'm a dead man walking I'm a dead man walking I will stay and fight As long as I'm alive I'm a dead man walking I'm a dead man walking I'm a dead man walking Hells at my door I'm a shadow of the man I was before I'm a dead man walking Before I die I will take every soul I can into the night BAM/WHIT: Oh, and kill till I die! Me : your welcome :) Btw this is fire! Whittaker's is my fav song of all time and Whittaker IS my favourite dude of all time😉❤
It's "rebel soul" I believe. Other than that, thanks alot!! Didn't know this song before that video, and now I need to learn it by heart to rock along.
Honestly after binging satellite City from season 1 to season 2 and its current State I could say that your storytelling is very interesting and you're very good at what you do honestly I would love to see what you could do if you had a budget like game of thrones
Dude you've definitely gotten so much better at both animation and design. My only real critique would be that I think your walk cycles definitely need a bit of workshopping. Neither Bamforth nor Whittaker feel like they have any weight to them. It doesn't feel like their legs are actually supporting them. As well as this, their legs move kind of unnaturally. Neither of them moves his ankles at all and the legs clip through eachother sometimes. Other than that I think your song choices were excellent and you did a great job at showing their personalities on a visual level. I especially have to commend you on the way Whittaker's silhouette in particular looks. It's fantastic.
These are clearly men with a certain wealth and power to them. Those outfits were almost assuredly tailor made for their unique forms in mind. You don’t just go poking holes in hats that good if you can help it.
OMG now this is my favorite animation ever along with Yeshua's, I love Bamfort's design, is harder to pull extra limbs but allows a lot of expression and shows he knows how to use them without falling into too much stiffness but either too many gestures to look forced, I love how he pulled the knives and the guns and how you play with shadows and the camera, I like the contrast with more calm and slower motions than Whittaker, his lipsync and the small quirks of his mouth while he's singing is satisfying and I love how expressive his face is without much effort, he looks so sure of himself and experienced, like someone who has been in the business for a long, long time, honestly the kind of guy you don't want to cross paths ever. You make me wish to become an animator after I graduate, and Fennah, you excell yourself smoothly with every episode, congratulations and keep it up! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fennah you really need to post a playlist. I fall in love with all the songs you animate to! You have introduced me to so many artists. I'm still obsessing over the song Control.
I think this is my favorite animation test yet; the choreography and staging are fantastic and classy and AHHHH?? You manage to draw attention to the important movements while still somehow having your flowy style going on like damn Also I don’t know how to explain it, but I really like how Bamforth’s mouth is animated? It matches the singing voice really well!
Omg I love them both! I cant wait to see them in action. Whittaker seems to be the younger more energetic of the two while bamforth is more like an old soul who's seen a lot of crazy shit but doesnt talk about it much. The designs of the pair are incredible. So opposing and yet they work! And these are yeshua's buddies, right? Seems like he makes friends with the best kivs lol
0:32 lovely eyes. Also, I LOVE THIS! It’s absolutely gorgeous. Your improvement throughout the timeline of this channel is almost immeasurable. The characters you have created are amazing.
Soooo, I have watched this a thousand times and I have lived for Whittaker's bit when he shows his eyes for a split second with the song. I have never thought about looking at his eyes I just would watch and enjoy, but this time I paused it at the exact moment of him showing those bootiful gun metal gray eyes....... I could put it as a wallpaper lol. I love his design, he reminds me of the second in command in a mob to where I would say Bam is the leader in ther shadows. 0:32 your welcome. 😋😋😋
I've watched this like 7 times so far. You've really improved! The lipsync is great and the animation is smooth. There no random parts wiggling around, which makes it looks really great.
I saw the title and thought “nah, cant be that, although that gives me an idea” Then i looked up City Wolf Animatic and this was the top result. I live everything about this
DAMN! Whitaker got moves! 😍 also I love how Bamforth’s arms come together to look like he only has 2 limbs until he busts out the blades! 😊 Amazing job as always! Can’t wait to see these bad boys in action! 😊❤️❤️❤️ Edit: Bamforth is kinda giving me Clint Eastwood vibes ❤️
Yeah, bamforths design is genius. Perfect use of vertical stripes on the suit to sell the illusion of two arms rather than eight. THAT is what you call expert character design.
Jacoby Ullman I also love how his choice in music seems to reflect the characters personalities (at least it has in the past). For example; Whitaker & Bamforth are a killer duo (literally) that work alongside Yeshua, Whitaker seems like he’s the more wild & expressive one that relishes in what he does, while Bamforth is more like the quiet badass who won’t hesitate to turn you into mincemeat before you can blink (though we won’t know that for sure until we see them in action) I cannot WAIT to see these two in the show! Every character is always so fresh & exciting, and the story has me completely sucked in! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know if I've commented on this before, but I'm writing a comment nonetheless. It's impressive how Fennah can find 2 songs w/ similar theme and opposite atmosphere which perfectly matches the 2 characters who basically mirror each other, opposite but similar. Not to mention the amazing animation and video editing. Like, this video is just Perfect! :')
So far the story is they work for Yeshua. Yeshua sort of works on his own outside of the whole Locket vs Ludwig thing. Taking care of humans that know too much about Kiv.
Ok, I'm a new fan because I keep rewatching this and it's still so amazing. This is truly the best damn animation ever, now to go and watch every video until I fall asleep.
I love that you are improving a lot. It's great to see a fellow artist getting better everyday and growing in their own peculiar way. Keep up the good work.
Epilepsy warning. You may die. ALSO, new episode should drop next month along with the first installment of Haunted Liverpool!
FENNAH I’ve never been more exited for anything in my life
God, you just keep getting better and better!

I actually thought that he was her father or something at first, but Lucy ate her father when she was born sooo...
They could be related somehow
@@thecrimsonalpha2537 didnt it say lucy also ate all her siblings?
also also isnt one of lucies eyes red because it was messed up in a fight?
Perfect
Their voices are perfect for their designs
Is it weird that I was really impressed with Bamforth’s shoes?
Like when he appeared and started walking, the lighting really caught my eyes and I was so impressed with how good his shoes looked. I have a problem drawing shoes- so I guess I was just hella impressed that he was able to model them so well. Excellent attention to detail!
But amazing animation as usual! I love how much the tests have improved. 💕
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Same
The shoes were my favorite part of his outfit. That and his hat!
Same here ( unless if there boots or clown shoes with bells )
YESS
OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING
@Sami The Gigget NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The aliens are free!
I Love the fact that both have the same theme, but with different energy
I adore them, both their personalities
Fennah has some of the coolest character designs ever
I am absolutely in love with Bamforth, from his clothes to his movements and facial expressions each and every single piece of him was tailored to tell his story and I adore it so much. I wish there were more youtubers who put this much work and effort into their videos.
"I DRANK DAT WATHA" The amount of times that was played during the stream, it ringed through your head-
Also thanks youtube for burying this in my notifications, smh.
EDIT: OH WOW, DIDN'T EXPECT THE BAMFORTH ANIMATION TEST TO BE HERE :0 !!! Ahh it all looks great!! amazing work fennah!!
OH MY GOD FENNAH YOU AMAZING SPECIMEN. I THOUGHT WHITTAKER WAS AMAZING BUT WHEN I HEARD THE MUSIC FOR BAMFORTH.... *breathes*
Let me just say the excitement that someone else found that song fitting and beautiful is amazing. Though I could be overreacting.
"Dead Man Walking" is a very personal song that I love due to the fact that it just screams the main character of a comic series I aspire to publish
Just. A lot of excitement. So much yes. Y E s.
Whittaker kinda reminds me of Winifred and Lucy Lacemaker mixed together
That's exactly what I thought.
@@audreyedmunds9542 Oh phew not only me
@@ObsidianHearts They awfully look alike. I mean their colors aren't the same. But Whitaker is taller and Lucy is red and white and he's black and white.
@@audreyedmunds9542 Yeah but that's why I thought he looked like Lucy and Winifred
@@ObsidianHearts I understand you. I'm not trying to confuse you or anything. Sorry if I did. 😅
I'm seeing tally marks, so Whittaker keeps tabs on how many uh "clients" he's had to deal with does he?
I absolutely love the contrast between them and can't wait to see them in the series. Your animations are getting better and better as you go.
and the names chosen for the characters are always a perfect fit o.o
Man I know this is over two years old, and in spite of Fennah's newer videos, I think this is some of his best work. Yeshua's new one is really, really good, but there's just something about this one in particular. The personality of the characters comes through here, and I think with two of them, there's a very intriguing contrast between them. The description implies they're at least somewhat close, and there's so many different ways a dynamic like this could go, and I just want to see all of them. Not to mention the *character designs*. Whittaker's design is fantastic, and I'm definitely biased towards him, but Bamforth is absolutely amazing. Someone else said something about their silhouettes being instantly recognizable, and I 110% agree. This is fantastic, and I know a lot about the Kivs has changed, but I really want to know where these two end up, especially because I don't believe we even saw them in Satellite City, but Yeshua did appear for a short while and I know he's being revamped.
*Finally now we can fest on your delicious creation!* owo

FENNAH YOU ABSOLUTE MADMAN, thank you for adding those gun sounds. This turned out AMAZING.
AND THOSE KNIVES. HOT.
I love this so much!
Whittaker's design is definitely going to one of my new favourites.
Great job as always man.
LYRICS!!!! :
WHITTAKER :
She got eyes like a neon sign
Stare you down and make you cry
An iron will
I'm the first to kill
You wanna see her stuff she gonna show ya.
Her poisin lips
with the metal grips
She gonna pull you in and bleed you dry
you never mess with her electric kiss
you think your tough she gonna own ya
I fell for the devil's daughter
I jumped in yeah, I drank the water
Tell me doctor can you fix my brain
Cause every woman says I'm insane
Let me loosen this ball and chain
Theres no use talking
I'm a dead man walking
I was thirsty and I wanted more
Then she burned me with the rebel soul
Tried to warn me and I should have known
Theres no use talking
I'm a dead man walking
So lock me up and throw away the key
Cause I need shelter from the things I've seen
Save me from this leathel company
So I can breathe
Ahhh!
And if I see you coming
I'll leave the engine running
She's just a criminal
Ooh she's right behind ya
So
Tell me doctor can you fix my brain
Cause every woman says I'm insane
Let me loosen this ball and chain
Theres no use talking
I'm a dead man
BAMFORTH :
I'm a setting sun
But I'll never run
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I will stay and fight
As long as I'm alive
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Hells at my door
I'm a shadow of the man I was before
I'm a dead man walking
Before I die
I will take every soul I can into the night
BAM/WHIT:
Oh, and kill till I die!
Me : your welcome :)
Btw this is fire! Whittaker's is my fav song of all time and Whittaker IS my favourite dude of all time😉❤
Whittaker is ma fav too
It's "rebel soul" I believe. Other than that, thanks alot!! Didn't know this song before that video, and now I need to learn it by heart to rock along.
Magi V it’s actually ‘Dead Man Walking’
@@hales_44344 I think they ment one of the lines in the chorus (which I had edited previously) but yes, the title is dead man walking 😊💕
Angel Dust oh okay.
Can we comment real quick on bamforths shoes tho? Like dam those shoes are polished with the tears of his enemies.
I’m from the “ I DRANK THE WATER “ crew
So was I
same in the crew
Wotah*
Honestly after binging satellite City from season 1 to season 2 and its current State I could say that your storytelling is very interesting and you're very good at what you do honestly I would love to see what you could do if you had a budget like game of thrones
3IJGUNGMOFHKRKM♥️♥️♥️👑
If GoT had Sam's writing skills, we'd have season 80, and it'd still be decent. XD
Bamforth’s face is the coolest! Love the movement when he talks.
Yes!
Dude you've definitely gotten so much better at both animation and design.
My only real critique would be that I think your walk cycles definitely need a bit of workshopping. Neither Bamforth nor Whittaker feel like they have any weight to them. It doesn't feel like their legs are actually supporting them.
As well as this, their legs move kind of unnaturally. Neither of them moves his ankles at all and the legs clip through eachother sometimes.
Other than that I think your song choices were excellent and you did a great job at showing their personalities on a visual level. I especially have to commend you on the way Whittaker's silhouette in particular looks. It's fantastic.
Something about Bamforth I really like... like I really love his style, his appearance, the song you chose for him, just everything!
So these guys seem to have an interest in human clothing and technology i see
Whitaker: Hello there
Bamforth: General Kenobi
Did he have to pierce his hat with his horns in the morning
Bold of you to assume he takes it off
These are clearly men with a certain wealth and power to them. Those outfits were almost assuredly tailor made for their unique forms in mind. You don’t just go poking holes in hats that good if you can help it.
The fact Whittaker and Bamforth are not in the first book, is criminal
OMG now this is my favorite animation ever along with Yeshua's, I love Bamfort's design, is harder to pull extra limbs but allows a lot of expression and shows he knows how to use them without falling into too much stiffness but either too many gestures to look forced, I love how he pulled the knives and the guns and how you play with shadows and the camera, I like the contrast with more calm and slower motions than Whittaker, his lipsync and the small quirks of his mouth while he's singing is satisfying and I love how expressive his face is without much effort, he looks so sure of himself and experienced, like someone who has been in the business for a long, long time, honestly the kind of guy you don't want to cross paths ever. You make me wish to become an animator after I graduate, and Fennah, you excell yourself smoothly with every episode, congratulations and keep it up! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
2:42
totally reminds me of Yin and Yang.
Also, yet ANOTHER amazing video/animation owo love it *-claps-*
Fennah you really need to post a playlist. I fall in love with all the songs you animate to! You have introduced me to so many artists. I'm still obsessing over the song Control.
I think this is my favorite animation test yet; the choreography and staging are fantastic and classy and AHHHH?? You manage to draw attention to the important movements while still somehow having your flowy style going on like damn
Also I don’t know how to explain it, but I really like how Bamforth’s mouth is animated? It matches the singing voice really well!
Friskishdrawings - Friska yeah I love Bamforth’s lipsynce. It was so oddly satisfying to me
Whittaker: He’s looking for trouble.
Bamforth: He let’s trouble look for him.
You've been hit by-
*Bang, bang*

Two Smooth Criminals~
The camera angles are amazing and the characters feel so much more grounded. Love the effects
Bamforth looks so lit
Idk why but Bamforth's character design makes me feel so uneasy and I freaking love it.
Look at that high-waisted furry guy, Whittaker, he's got *feminine hips!*
Omg I love them both! I cant wait to see them in action. Whittaker seems to be the younger more energetic of the two while bamforth is more like an old soul who's seen a lot of crazy shit but doesnt talk about it much. The designs of the pair are incredible. So opposing and yet they work! And these are yeshua's buddies, right? Seems like he makes friends with the best kivs lol
tbh Whittaker looks like Winifred and shuck or Lucy's and shucks child-

I love them both 😍
Why not both! 🙄😏😆
Soooo, I have watched this a thousand times and I have lived for Whittaker's bit when he shows his eyes for a split second with the song. I have never thought about looking at his eyes I just would watch and enjoy, but this time I paused it at the exact moment of him showing those bootiful gun metal gray eyes....... I could put it as a wallpaper lol. I love his design, he reminds me of the second in command in a mob to where I would say Bam is the leader in ther shadows. 0:32 your welcome. 😋😋😋
Now if those two don't fitt with Yeshua, who else could?
Just amazing. Nothing over some good old mafia/noir themed designs!
I've watched this like 7 times so far. You've really improved! The lipsync is great and the animation is smooth. There no random parts wiggling around, which makes it looks really great.
"If you know too much, these gentlemen will be knocking at your door" Got a strong KIB (MIB) Vibe from them.
I saw the title and thought “nah, cant be that, although that gives me an idea”
Then i looked up City Wolf Animatic and this was the top result.
I live everything about this
Damn, everytime I watch the animations it’s the most epic thing I watch
DAMN! Whitaker got moves! 😍 also I love how Bamforth’s arms come together to look like he only has 2 limbs until he busts out the blades! 😊
Amazing job as always! Can’t wait to see these bad boys in action! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Edit: Bamforth is kinda giving me Clint Eastwood vibes ❤️
Yeah, bamforths design is genius. Perfect use of vertical stripes on the suit to sell the illusion of two arms rather than eight. THAT is what you call expert character design.
Jacoby Ullman I also love how his choice in music seems to reflect the characters personalities (at least it has in the past).
For example; Whitaker & Bamforth are a killer duo (literally) that work alongside Yeshua, Whitaker seems like he’s the more wild & expressive one that relishes in what he does, while Bamforth is more like the quiet badass who won’t hesitate to turn you into mincemeat before you can blink (though we won’t know that for sure until we see them in action)
I cannot WAIT to see these two in the show! Every character is always so fresh & exciting, and the story has me completely sucked in! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW, THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! So much detail put into this!!! Very well done FENNAH!
0:08 & 0:32 sneak peaks of Whittaker's eyes!! They are so deadly and lovely all at once!!
His eyes are so pretty. I love it.
They're so pretty. Aahhh!
I don't know if I've commented on this before, but I'm writing a comment nonetheless. It's impressive how Fennah can find 2 songs w/ similar theme and opposite atmosphere which perfectly matches the 2 characters who basically mirror each other, opposite but similar. Not to mention the amazing animation and video editing. Like, this video is just Perfect! :')
How did I never notice this!? Bamforth’s horn-things look like spider fangs, are they supposed to look like that??
I guess, he seems to be arachnoid of some kind, also those arms
@@2ley695 ARMS
@@immagical7036 yeeeee arms
I want there backstory their relation to each other everything! I love these models!!!
So far the story is they work for Yeshua. Yeshua sort of works on his own outside of the whole Locket vs Ludwig thing. Taking care of humans that know too much about Kiv.
@rudy martinez mhm check out Fennah's community section from time to time. All kinds of lore goodies there
rosenrot234 thank you sm! Will do
This turned out AMAZING!!!
I'm sorry Yeshua. Whittaker is the new love of my life.
*Whittaker appears with scissors* My God I'm attracted to a monster... AND HE'S HOT OH NO
Me: I'm not a furry I swear!
Friends: *x to doubt*
The more I explore all these characters, the more I can't help adoring them! Beautifully unique designs, all of them! 💖
Ahh this is so amazing fennah. I’ve always lived for waiting for all your new releases.
It always gets me so excited for the day
00:32 those eyes are adorable

‼️⚠️WARING TO PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY⚠️‼️ (Edit) Other then that THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING
Ok, I'm a new fan because I keep rewatching this and it's still so amazing. This is truly the best damn animation ever, now to go and watch every video until I fall asleep.
I love that you are improving a lot. It's great to see a fellow artist getting better everyday and growing in their own peculiar way. Keep up the good work.
