I love this animatic. The literal apocalypse is unfurling on the world below, thousands of innocent citizens being turned, and Eggman couldn't be happier. And I also really like that newsreel at the beginning! Immersive!
Funny story haha, I added that newsreel because I was submitting this for a school project and needed to pad the runtime, but I wound up really loving it as well. I’m glad you like the animatic!
@@LittleMissDopeyDid you get an A?
@@kingcamelot1395 got a 90 baby😎
@@LittleMissDopeyWhat was the project about what- Lmao
@@Sallysekai It was for film class. Our final project was a 4 min animated short
*Remember, just because eggman is commonly shown to be a kooky comedic villain.. Is by no means an indicator that he should not be taken seriously... This man is the bane of worlds.*
He has, on numerous occasions, almost ended the world. Literally.
He has been serious before this
@@tubofmacaroni Four of his most well known attempts in the games are Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Forces.
And to those who are thinking of also adding Sonic Colors to that list, he tried to MIND CONTROL it, not destroy it.
I love how for most of it it’s pure greyscale and red! Gives me a sense of “dreary, hopeless, and bloody”
Eggman and Starlines synchronized tapdance is just too wonderful. It's a shame their combined efforts were bound to fall apart because of their clashing ideals, but seeing them like this just puts the biggest smile on my face. This animatic is fantastic and the effort poured into the project shows. The animatic is perfectly on beat with the music. It's just perfect.
Seeing them duke it out after everything that happened between them was pretty amazing though. Especially with how they write Eggman, that's like proper SA2 levels of evil genius as opposed to the more comedy focused character he became in modern games
Notes of Awesomeness:
- 1:13: You can see that Eggman is wearing his original outfit from the 90's! Considering that's the era Metal Sonic was created, it makes perfect sense that's the time period this photo would/could have been taken.
- 1:21: I don't know why I loved this little moment of Eggman's shoes being zipped up, but it just added to his sense of style for me. Especially because in Sonic Forces I always customized my character with a variant of them lol.
- 1:46: This shot of Eggman's POV is so good at conveying the fact that he looks down, literally, on those around him. Proceeding to then drop down to an angle in which you see Orbot and Cubot attempting to hype him up, but are unable to see his face, is so smart. Trying to please Eggman but being flat-out ignored.
- 2:55: OMG STARLINE LOOKS SO COOL!!
Basically, as someone who does not do this and has no idea what she's talking about, WOW! I love these comics, this arc, and this video! You should be so proud!
Thank you for making this!! I didn’t think anyone but me would notice these tbh but this is so sweet
@@LittleMissDopey How could I not? The amount of love, respect, and care put into a piece of art like this is too incredible to ignore. I did not think that I could love this arc any more, but here you are absolutely knocking the characterization of Eggman out of the park. Honestly, as much as I love the comics, this is the better depiction of Eggman in my opinion. In both he is evil, but the fact that this opens with him performing relatable tasks like rolling out of bed and grabbing coffee make him even scarier. Like, this isn't some weird monster or supernatural creature. This is a man, a PERSON who is taking pleasure in watching the world burn.
I also should have mentioned the subtle shot of Sonic's shoes at the end. It is so clever and paints Sonic as not even being on Eggman's radar anymore, especially considering that canonically Sonic would already be infected by now. AHHHHH!!! I WANNA WRITE ANOTHER 5 PARAGRAPHS ON THIS MASTERPIECE BUT WORDS CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE!!
@@EndlessPiplupDude I am so sorry for not seeing this reply earlier (like, this is disturbingly late) but I appreciate this so much aaaah!! As someone who loves these comics (and Eggman as a villain) it’s so cool to see someone appreciate my work like this❤
@@LittleMissDopey I'm just glad you saw it. This kind of talent needs to be encouraged!! I can't wait to see what else will come out of your work!
DUDE??? THIS IS SO GOOD?????????????? TOO GOOD FOR WORDS I AM BLOWN AWAY AND WILL NEVER RECOVER THAT IS HOW AMAZING THIS IS
The attention to detail in EVERY SINGLE FRAME is CHEFS KISS it's all so dang CLEAN
I LOVED the tap dance sequence, that was so smooth and the jumps over the holo-map were the PERFECT way to tie it off
Oooooo the holo map was hard but it was my favorite bit to animate! I’m so glad other people enjoy it eeeeee
(Also funny running into you here😏)
@@LittleMissDopey wdym by that?
REALLL
Fantastic Eggman animatic!!
I’m just a fan of electro swing, but this was an AMAZING animatic! Such impressive work and synchronization! You really elevated the song with your art 😊
Glad someone else can appreciate that electro swing is a hosted genre😤😤
But this isn’t electro swing? The song is kinda new wave and synthpop!
You’ve got a point there 😅
I like to listen to a version of this song in electro swing style (by Wolfgang Lohr, in case you wanna check it out 😉), so I mistook this version as electro swing.
Sounds great nonetheless!@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522
@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522 I say that because the song it’s based on is a jazz song, but maybe I’m wrong
@@LittleMissDopey oh no yeah! The original song itself is jazz and ragtime, but this version that you animated too is new wave and synthpop! Which… Actually is rather fitting to be honest? Taking an electronically based version of an older song and doing something new with it actually rather fits Eggman, so!!! You’re very genius for that!!!
The sheer megamovie blockbuster edge this has makes my hair stand on edge, it builds so well, and there is so many great shots and pans in this!!! Very cinematic, I love the shadowy energy this has, it's very sinister.
Aaaaa thank you!! I was really gunning for that Disney-villain type energy so I’m glad that came across
An excellent visual representation of IDW's darkest arc (I hear it was a holdover idea from Archie), and I couldn't think of a better song as well.
Ohhh. That explains the darkness of the Metal Virus. Makes sense actually.
I do remember Archie having a big arc with a virus that turned people into badniks, and honestly that was almost scarier since (IIRC) it transformed them into a different person entirely, whereas the metal virus turns them into mindless zombies. With that said, I've been loving what IDW's doing with the series and I'm looking forward to more!
@@sykamoreva9803 I thought Archie was a slice-of-life!
@@spongeintheshoe I mean the Sonic comics by the Archie publishing company, which also publishes the Archie you're probably thinking of
I literally read the IDW comics for this arc. It was literally Sonic Zombies and while it was a little cringe at times, giving into that cringe and just enjoying what you're experiencing is a vital part of Sonic in my opinion. It was cool as fuck watching Eggman be on top of the world, and watching Sonic run himself ragged trying to prevent the metal virus from ending town after town, while also trying to keep his own infection at bay.
In my opinion zombie stories are made from their use of loss and self-sacrifice. Tangle sacrificing herself to keep the horde at bay to let everyone else escape, and Vector taking a bullet and containing the infected Charmy to let a helicarrier full of civilians fly away safely are two of the moments from this arc that are forever ingrained in my brain. Good to know that this arc is getting the love it deserves in the form of this amazing animatic. I'm subbing now.
I’m so mad I only just found this it literally had me smiling all the way through. So beautifully crafted and full of sinister fun, perfect for an Eggman animatic. I think I actually screamed when both Starline and the Deadly Six showed up I love how you draw them all
Comments like this are what I live for! I love seeing your guys’ reactions to my silly little drawings haha. Thank you!
This was INCREDIBLE! You really captured Eggman's flair, committing unspeakable atrocities with style. The tap dancing scene with Starline put a huge smile on my face.
I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS SINCE DAY ONE AND LOVED WIP AFTER WIP. This is just amazing like- words can not express how much talent was put into this, with time, and effort. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Amazing.
Agh, thank you so much for keeping up with the whole process! It means so much to me that people are invested and interested in what I have to make❤
Much love! I’m glad you enjoyed
i'm a little pissed this hasn't blown up yet, this was actually fantastic WOW!
Sign ME up for the Eggman Empire! WOOOO!!!! This song was too perfect and the tap dancing with Eggman’s giant boots works just too well!
Man this makes me wish IDW had a tv series, similar to how archie comics got sonic satam in a way.
Granted we have Sonic Prime which is similar, but the metal virus arc is unmatched!
STILL waiting on a metal virus adaptation (because that would be so endlessly cool)
Thing is Eggman and Starline would have actually won if they didn’t request the services of the Deadly Six.
THIS😤😤 (also if they had bothered to engineer a vaccine)
What's this 'they' business? Starline got the deadly six involved himself, but he only did that because the virus mutated so much eggman couldn't control the zombots anymore but he still decided to keep going with the plan.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 Yeah, but Starline was still acting under/alongside Eggman.
I can't believe it's on UA-cam, free to watch for everyone. I got a cinematic experience, I felt like I should've done something to deserve watching this, it's so frikin good.
😳Good Job 👏🏻
I do my best😌, thank you!
This is just STRAIGHT fire. I cannot with Eggman and Starline dancing though thats so good 😭
god this is wonderful. its so obvious you put loads of care and time into it. i think my favorite detail is the shine on the umbrella as it rolls
IVE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE PROGRESS OF THIS AND IT CAME OUT INCREDIBLY
IT SCRATCHES SUCH A SPECIFIC PART OF MY BRAIN
The metal virus arc is my favorite, just for one moment with metal sonic.
To keep it short, metal enters a lab where a small measuring cup sort of object holds the metal virus inside. Metal sonic reaches in, picking a bit of it up to test its effects on him. Then, it just slides off.
The meaning is metal thought he was the real sonic, the better one, the ultimate sonic. But he knew it only affected organic life forms, so he attempted to touch it, finding out he’s not real. He’s not the true sonic, he was the faker all along.
That issue actually made me cry bruh
You may like this "dub" of that version, as few voice lines as there are. Adrenaline Dubs does great work. /watch?v=lHT6BV0O5k0
Honestly, that just proves he’s not organic.
@@spongeintheshoe But it also proves he can't do something the "real" Sonic can. It's an impossibility, a highlighted difference that can't be surmounted.
He wants to be superior, sure. But he also wants to be the real deal.
I know that this is supposed to be serious but I just can't help but imagine metal sonic looking in the mirror and saying the iconic funny line of "I found you, Faker!"
3:12 I've never seen someone draw zazz like that, and I don't know whether to be afraid or feel something else.
Regardless though this video is amazing, definitely looking forward to more of your stuff
I consider this an absolute win.
I feel you, that Zomom actually carries a threatening aura. Miss Dopey's designs for the Zeti are pretty top notch.
Oh tumblr would have a field day with that image...
@@HinataChick38 I swear to god if zazz ends up becoming a tumblr you know what man because of this animatic, then I will be impressed, confused, and scared.
@@anonymousdude8184 well, if it helps, as someone on tumblr, I haven't seen any simp posts for Zazz, so we should be safe....for now.
SO HAPPY TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
THE TALENT?! [*consumes delicacy like a rabid animal*]
The username makes this comment infinitely better
"He's got the master plan"
...

I know what you did there.
THIS IS SO GOOD HOLY HELL, the way you capture the characters energy and personality in everh frame is just *chefs kiss*
And its also amazing that while yes, eggman is a relatively goofy villain. This video manages to capture his more cunning and genuinely evil side, he is a VILLAIN after all. And its nice to see that side of the doctor.
And not just eggman is portrayed well. I am in LOVE with how Dr. Starline is animated, he radiates the exact same energy in the comics, where he follows the doctors command, even EXCEEDING that to take things into his own hands to make sure the plan goes smoothly. And need i mention the tap segment? Easily my favorite part of the animation ITS JUST TIMED SO WELL
And the news part at the beginning, it is CHILLING. Truly showcasing how dark the metal virus arc truly was.
Omg thank you so much!! Comments like this make all the effort worth it, and I’m glad people love this goofy little animation as much as I did drawing it! I myself am a huge fan of the doctor and metal virus arc so as soon as I heard this sinister song I knew I had to make something of it.
I’ve been watching the clips on instagram and I’m so happy that’s in full now
Holy shit this is so good
I also love how the kinda 'old' feeling of the song really helps it fit this kind of situation for Eggman. As far as he knows, he might as well already have won. This slightly creepy but still upbeat song captures that perfectly
This goes so hard??????? You nailed Eggman’s energy SO well, and the song choice is so calmly ominous it’s genuinely intimidating. The animatic is really well put together and the animation is smooth, love how well everything synced with the music. Excellent video. :)
Thank the UA-cam algorithm for gifting me this charming and magnificent piece of art! I keep watching this because I can’t get enough of it, I’m not deeply knowing of Sonic lore but it doesn’t stop me from adoring every time I see Eggman because he is just superior villainous character and I love him dearly. This alone makes me want to get deep into Sonic lore.
flow and pacing were fantastic. god the theming fit the comic so well. nothing felt out of character
I think it's not just matching the timing of the song with actions that makes this a great piece of work, instead it's WHAT those actions are that make it fit so well. The tap dancing section is the obvious one, but my favorite for tone-wise between the song and the on screen actions/story is the hallway section where the bots are jumping out before Robotnik silences them. It's inline with the tone of the song action-wise, the music lines up with the actions on screen for each major beat, and finally it also shows the character of Robotnik and fits with his character perfectly.
Great work!
Was not expecting to see a Puttin On The Ritz animatic, much less one for Sonic. I am pleasantly surprised! And the timing and choreography and ahhhhhh
HOLY CRAP! THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!
This has got to be one of the best animatics I've ever seen in my entire life
🔥🔥🔥
THE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY IS INSANE. Eggman stomping on sonic, The news at the beginning, and timing. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
Damn, this is awesome I love the Metal Vruis arc. tremendous job on the animation, also I love the song choice 😁
I love how a comic arc that fucked me up for a week is now something i can consume and enjoy content relating to. Excellent work tho, this is genuinely one of the best sonic animatics I've seen in a very long time. The fact this was a school project is even more impressive imo
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!it's so perfect for the metal virus you did so good at capturing the energy and the power that they felt during most of this arc I HAVE WATCHED THIS AT LEAST TEN TIMES!!!!
Eeeeee! I’m so glad you like it! I adore this arc and I’ve been wanting to pay tribute to it for a while, definitely my favorite Sonic IDW story
IM SO HAPPY THIS IS FINALLY OUT, ITS AMAZING!!
The story deserves a movie, but this is a good start.
Why is this so underrated? This is legitimately one of the best animatics I've ever seen! So cool and well done and clean! It really felt like a film, not an animatic! Please be very proud of yourself!
Eggman and Starlines synchronized tapdance is just wonderful. Seeing them like this just puts the biggest smile on my face. This animatic is fantastic and so is the effort poured into the project shows. The animatic is perfectly on beat with the music. It's just perfect and ✨sassy✨.
This is so MINDBLOWINGLY *FANTASTIC!* The movements, the way you draw the characters, everything is just PERFECT! You are so talented and I hope you never stop making these because oh my GOD they are GOOD.
eggman seems like the guy to tapdance to the demise of his enemies. this animatic is wonderful!!
Yooo I like ur artstyle Ö
I’ve never really been that big of a Sonic fan, but Robotnick’s energy and dramatic flair has always been great to see and this captures it perfectly.
I WAITED THIS FOR SO LONG AND NOW I AM SOOOOOOOOO FUCKING *AMAZED* BY THIS!!!!! GOOD WORK!!!
Legitimately one of my favorite things to watch on youtube atm. I don't know much about sonic and far less about the archie comics, but the way you framed all of this and portrayed the characters is just so fun to watch and very smooth!! Good job!
Archie has been canceled for over seven years now. IDW has been running a new series for six.
@@armoredturtle1302 As I said I don't know anything about the comics-- I just like the way this animatic likes and I've only ever heard of the Archie ones, I'm not really in the fandom or anything
This speaks to my life long love of villains: Elegant, stylish masterminds! Eggman and Starline deserved this spotlight. The illustration and choreography is outstanding! This deserves all the praise it's gotten twice over
As a fellow villain fan I appreciate this comment😤😤
now this is something i would have never thought of in 100 years, but it morbidly fits the metal virus arc. Amazing animatic! Good work mate!
I love how you really capture how the character of IDW eggman, i felt that he was the perfect combo between the satam robotnik and the modern eggman.
Amazing animatic! Especially the start of the video! Very creative!
Good job!
Holy crow, this is amazing! The song is absolutely perfect for Eggman, and you captured the character and his threatening, yet slightly comical demeanor incredibly! The level of detail is absolutely great. I know a lot of people are talking about it, bit the tap dance scene was amazing! I cannot compliment your work on this enough, great job!
YESS I've been so excited to see the final product!! I love this so much, you did a wonderful job 💖💖💖
Literally just watched the animatic, and my gosh, THIS WENT SO HARD! I love the synchronization to the song, and everything about this feels like it could be real! Amazing job, am subscribing to your channel!
okay, if you havent already, post this on every media platform ever! This need to BLOW TF UP!!!
Soar cameo!!!! Any Sonic Boom representation always fills me with joy! This whole video is so fantastic, you are quite talented!
Aw man! I stumbled upon this by accident, and I gotta say, it's amazing! The art is absolutely incredible and the animation is so clean and smooth. I loved the tap dance sequence so much as well! The whole thing is just so fun and well made. Keep up the good work!
CHRIST THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONIC ANIMATIONS IVE EVER SEEN. START TO FINISH. I COMEND YOU MY FRIEND EXCELLENT JOB ❤❤
THIS WAS SO WELL DONE!!! I know nothing about Sonic but I love the song and all of the heart and soul and effort put into this animatic makes me so genuinely happy!! Awesome job, you deserve more recognition!!
THIS IS GENUINELY SO INCREDIBLE. YOU JUST INSPIRED ME TO CONTINUE ONE OF MY OWN ANIMATICS AAAAAGH
The setup in the beginning was perfect.
This is so damn cool, and I can't believe it is only sitting on 42k views currently. Definitely subscribing to see whatever future content you make, as this animatic just has so much personality and charm.
The beat timing and story progression is perfect, very professionally done.
BRO THIS IS SO WELL DONE?? FANTASTIC WORK!
GRAAAAHH IT'S SO COOL I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU WORK ON THIS ON INSTA AND THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE FINAL PRODUCT
you`re a literal godsend, I was just looking through MV fan content and found this gem. All power to you!
This is incredible, I like the detail for just being outlines on a grey background with some red
THIS IS AMAZING! THE STORYTELLING! THE WAY THE MUSIC AND ANIMATION WORK PERFECTLY WITH EACH OTHER! THIS IS SPECTACULAR!!! I LOVE THIS!!
I HAVE NO WAY OF DESCRIBING HOW MUCH I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ANIMATION! ALL I CAN IS: AMAZING SPETCULAR MAGNIFICENT PERFECT! FREAKING JOB!!
Now this is the good stuff
This is such perfect animation. I love everything about this. Captures the entire feeling from Eggman's pov perfectly I think. Stupendous job and this definitely just earned a sub.
Yo I voice the biggest bird
God I’m so glad that this is finally completed, I have been waiting on this since the very first post on insta. And it did not fail to deliver, fantastic
Ayyyyy! Thanks for sticking around ;)
BROOOOO THIS ANIMATIC IS CRAZYYYY!!! I LOVE IT, It shows the effort that you put into it
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN- It absolutely needs more views
this is great! loved the dancing scene!
GIRLLLLLL THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD. here before one million views omfg
This was so cleverly done! This could've easily have come off as cringe or overly edgy like so many sonic fan animations or hell even canon Sonic media in general, tend to do. They want to play it 100% seriously, which loses the fun and feel of the Sonic universe, but you adding cute little things like the tap dancing, the "best boss" mug, as well as the robot arms grooming him in the elevator 😄. All still keep it within the wacky world of Sonic, while still maintaining a threatening and badass atmosphere! Very awesome job!
Thank you so much! I was going for a campy disney villain vibe with this one so I’m really glad that came across. I love when people notice the little details like that, makes doing this stuff worthwhile
Wow this looks absolutely amazing! I love the expressive poses and faces ^^ Amazing work :D
Thank you so much!
@@LittleMissDopey No problem :D
THIS IS SO AWESOME I CANNOT STOP WATCHING OMGGGGG,, THIS IS AMAZING !!!! PHENOMENAL WORK MY GUY 👊💥👊💥
Been waiting for this… it’s so beautiful…
HOLY COW... Just.. Wow... Remarkable... This was so cool, thank you!! Loved this arc a lot! This was well done, be proud of this!
Not even a sonic fan and this was insanely good. Amazing work, art, and attention to detail, and the expressiveness of the characters. Also that tape dancing scene, damn.
YESSSSSSSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG KJAHDSJDHAKJDHSAJK IT CAME OUT AMAZINGLY!!!! it's one of my favorite animatics ever
Agh, the dance took so long to do but I’m glad it was worth it haha. Thanks!
FOLLOWED UR WIPS ON INSTA AND OOOOHHH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE ITS FINALLY DONE ITS SO GOOOODDD 😭😭❤❤❤
This is so cool. Best arc
I found this on Instagram and I’m so glad that I did, this was SO GOOD!!
IVE WAITED FOR THIS SO FUKCING LONG I CANT SOTP WATCHING HOW HAS IT FINALY ARRIVED??!??!?!?! IM GOGN INSNE
this is amazing and ive rewatched it many times, one minor detail that you forgot tho is the spurs on the heels starlines boots ! ! its a really cool detail because it refrences platypus's venomous spurs on their hind legs. not to mention the lack of webbing on his gloves. its a teeny tiny detail tho, this animatic is absolutely stellar
ABSOLUTELY S TIER INCREDIBLE AMAZINGGG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!
i love this animatic i love how you could tell immediately that you could do a villain animatic of egg man with it, your passion for this project really shows!! i never thought evil tap dancing was a thing but damn you really captured that whole relaxed and very evil vibe you were going for, this animatic is so unique and deserves more views!
A friend of mine was showing me this, and I have to say it's just marvelous. I love the choreography on display, and your Mobian designs are just top notch too
woah this is incredible!! the utter glee was so fun to watch
Bro I love Puttin’ on the Ritz, it’s so underrated, and this version is epic
I’m obsessed with the metal virus saga and I’m so happy this is existing in my life rn aaaaaa!!! Fabulous job!!!
This video was egg-stremely good. Perfectly replicated the comic's atmosphere, and gave Eggman that threatening wibe that he really deserved. This video was eggsellent!
robotnik is really someone to put their brand on EVERYTHING
Deserves 100x the views, such effort is admirable!
