    🦎 MAVERICKS Episode III - Sting Chameleon 🦎
    "Mavericks" is my own fictional series about the events after Mega Man X.
    It basically asks the question: What if all the Maverick Bosses survived? Showing their side of the events.
    It was nominated for the Suzanne Award during the Blender Conference in the category "best animation".

    Created in Blender
    Edited in Premiere Pro
    Particle Effects made in Houdini
    It was a project with many ups and downs and many uncertainties.
    I have never created a forest before. Atmospheric lighting was also a challenge. And animating and coordinating so many characters at once was super difficult.
    I already started in November 2021. I made many breaks because the motivation wasn't there. I wasn't sure I was able to create such an elaborate setup. And for a long time it didn't look like I could. But after setting up the forest and lighting it finally clicked and the motivation was back. After May 2022 I worked on it almost ever day and now I am finally done :)
    In the end I am super proud of what came out of it!

      It's not what it represents to me. What it really seems to me is that they are reviving as reploids without the influence of the virus that turned them into mavericks, but keeping all their memories, and compelled to find some form of justice, against the virus itself or against those who spread it, maybe Sigma... or something above.

    This was much better than I expected and I already had high hopes.
    I did not expect all the Mechaniloids in the forest to come together and to put their boss together again at their own personal cost. Like wow, you really pushed the whole idea of being "one with the forest." And I love how that sweet, restorative gesture is then flipped once Sting Chameleopn comes back to life and starts moving. You know those intentions are NOT peaceful, a contrast to the serenity that came before.
    Visually beautiful and thematically fitting for a stealthy lizard reploid.

      @DemNikoArt  Рік тому +10

      Thank you very much for your comment!
      You got exactly my intentions and the story beats I was hoping for. It was important for me to convey the idea of a symbiotic forest, where everything is connected (sometimes literally) and if needed even sacrifices itself.
      After a while you loose the sense of the impact it might have for someone to see it for the first time. Glad it all still came together 😊

Imagine from Sting Chameleon's perspective: Last thing you remember is that blue poacher (sigma virus/Maverick insane, remember) stalking through the forest, destroying countless woodland "creatures" (The plant and animal bots and all) Next thing you know, you're waking up badly damaged after who knows how long and all around you are the bodies of those who sacrificed themselves for you to be there? Absolutely heartfelt.

    I love all the little details, the waving grass, the rippling leaves on top of the camo met, the realistic, independent eye movements, the water splashing to mark his passage through the stream.
    Him running towards the city certainly doesn't bode well for anyone in his path does it? The cloaking effect was perfection! Is he your favorite X1 Maverick?

      My favourite maverick always changes. Mostly it's the one I am working on at the moment because you spend so much time analyzing him and getting familiar with his story. So right now it's spark Mandrill. But overall I always liked boomer kuwanger. With his speed he is technically OP but he is the most mysterious and kinda unpredictable. I have some really cool ideas for him. He'll be probably in episode 5 😉

    A beautiful and intricately imagined work of art! To me, your Sting Chameleon exposé expands upon and is much more than a reference to the original SNES game itself. Your work is a commentary on cooperation, solidarity, and the need to rebuild our damaged environment (forests, oceans, and other natural spaces). Thank you!
