So for some time I have wanted to make a few short Darksouls fan animations and have begun doing just that. The animation will be done using Blender 3D ver. 2.49b and 3DsMax 2014/Default Scanline Renderer. The animation is going to be/has been sketched in Flash for its storyboard/animatic. Example here: Once render the style will be similar to the game its self within my limits as an artist. In terms of Progress I have finish modelling both characters for the pilot episode "Old Dragon Slayer more like Old Lady?" where the hero know as the Bearer of the Curse will face of against the fallen champion of the gods Dragon Slayer Ornstein in his abyssal form. All Modelling and animation will be done by me along so far and based on "Lore and/Boss Fights from the "Souls series" making up short episodes not always with the same characters as focus. The project is still in need of Music/SFX/Voice Actors for the characters so I will expand/shorten the project based on the availability of help and interest. After the animations are finished they will be placed on my youtube channel "Kiln's Youtube here". On an somewhat unaltered note I am glad to be invite to this site by Nuci and I hope my 3D style is welcome among the traditional animators here as I am not sure how any here feels about 3D CGI animators like myself.

Oh geez this is really awesome! Your perspective and foreshortening is really good, and it's really awesome to have a 3D CGI animator along with us! Subscribed! I love your examples and it gives me a good idea of what you have to offer. I'm looking forward to it!
Now with your worry about being the only 3D CGI animator here, please don't, worry that is! While Creative Studio has a high following of traditional and digital artists and animators, it's not at all limited to just that! It just so happens the Fanime community is what takes up the largest margin of members at the time. Hopefully over time that will change and we'll get more 3D artists, game designers and the likes along board as well!

The Old Dragon Slayer Ornstein Model is now finished meaning I will be running test animations as I model the environment and look for voice actors. Example here: Thank you all for your kind words. Your complements and criticism do and will mean a lot to me as an animator. As I am not 100% on how replying on forms work I will just add my replies to this post. To Kisaka: Many Thanks, I was a little worried as there is normally some hostility between more traditional animators and 3D CGI animators like myself. Many people seem to think of it as a cop out for people who can't animate. It is nice to be welcomed to a community of fellow animators. Subscribed back as your style is really cute~ To Whirlwynd: Thank you~ I am looking forward to trying to generate environment destruction in the 3D version later on. With any luck it will hold up to the sketch. To Nuciferyne: Hahaha yeah! Thanks lots Nuci~ No need to flatter me.

kilnfirelink Nawww hun it's not flattery it's truth Though it really sucks, I know I've seen people who animate frame-by-frame aggressively attacking 3DCG artists and flash animators. In all honesty I feel like you can't truly compare them considering they're different mediums. That's like trying to critique cartoons when you're only experienced in realism, it just... appreciate it for what it is don't always compare it to so and so. :s Anyway I am looking forward to seeing this

Uwaaa such progression! 3D graphics are so beyond my mindset so this looks mind boggling to put together! Great job!! *O*

Well because of my inability to get voice actors I am not sure if I will be adding to this project for sometime. So this will be the last update on this animation for some time. The project is by no means dead. Anyway thanks for the interest and support and I will hopefully be able to post updates and future projects when I have more influence.

Uwaaa such progression! I really like it! If you're looking for voice actors, there are a few here on the forum! :D

After doing some 3d art request I may start a casting call and try to bring this project back once my Touhou Flash animation is finished.
