#this is the end of my trailer redraws folks

[redpapercraness]

wheres that DAMN fourth sonic trailer redraw

[cy-cyborg]

Ok so the saga with my old PC continues and is only fueling my desire to get back into fanfiction lol because I found all of the files from my attempt at making a legend of spyro fan-game! I honestly thought they were lost, I'm so excited to see all this stuff again! This was the "logo" for the game (I know its nearly unreadable lol, so it says "The Legend of Cynder, Shadows of The Past". 14/15 year old me didn't seem to care much for readability, I think I'd just discovered photoshop's layer effects lol)

Here's a bunch of random stuff I found.

I'm defiantly going to do a redraw of that last one at some point. That was like, THE thing I remember being super proud of when I first did it. I think it was going to be part of the trailer my now-partner was putting together for the game lol.

Actually, a lot of these were actually just frames from animations, but either the files are either just corrupted, or high school me didn't know how to set fps and resolution properly in the output so I got a headache trying to watch them lol. It's probably the second one honestly. Also I remember my old laptop wasn't able to play back the animation because it would lag so much, so I just had to kind of...guess at timing, and that went about as well as you'd expect. It didn't help that blender used to have this bug where your audio would move around your timeline so it really was just random guessing. I'm amazed anything got done at all, let alone how far we actually got (that is to say, not far at all but we had something playable at least).

I also found the demo files and footage of the "game" running (running at 12fps but running)! I'm curious if they still work, I'll have to download an older version of blender to test them out!

There's actually a lot more but actually finding it is proving to be quite a challenge since this laptop seems to be the digital equivalent of an ADHD "doom box" - meaning nothing is sorted into folders that make even a remote lick of sense to me, it's all just kind of thrown in together lmao.

I wanted to post these though because even though I don't really do 3D stuff anymore, It still made me really happy to see how much progress I've made over the years and how far I've come. Also a few folks who worked on this project with me back on Deviantart have started finding me lol, so in case there's anyone else out there, hello! I'm not dead, I'm still around, I'm just a lot more (openly) queer now lmao.

Image descriptions:

[ID 1: A game title that reads "The Legend of Cynder, Shadows of the Past". The two lines, "the legend of" and "shadows of the past" are written in dark purple text. The purple material is supposed to look like liquid, but instead just looks hard to read. "Cynder" is writen in black, 3D text with red outlines, with the exception of the C. The "c" is modeled as a black tube instead of in a blocky style like the rest of the letters. The inside of the C has a red underbelly, and the bottom of the C ends in a tail, resembling Cynder's from the Legend of Spyro Series. There are 3 white spikes at the top of the C. /end ID]

[ID 2: a 3d render of 4 dragons around a christmas tree. A black dragon at the front, Cynder, is using her tail to hang tinsel, a pruple dragon, Spyro, on the left is reaching up into the branches of the tree. A blue dragon, Ignitus, is hovering behind the tree, his paws outstretched, implying he is placing the glowing star at the top. On his head is a silver dragon, Zerali, balancing on his horns. behind them is a series of floating islands. /End ID]

[ID 3: A render of Cynder with a darker colour pallet than the previous image and glowing yellow eyes, snarling at the camera, guarding a black gem. The sky in the background is blood red and the terrain is flat and barren. /End ID]

[ID 4: A render of an incomplete model of Terrador, a green dragon with brown horns and rocky shoulder decorations. He has no underbelly or wings. /end ID]

[ID 5: A render of a fan character named ekkosel, a blue, anthropomorphic dragonfly with an unsettling, uncanny face and green wings, T-posing. Her green wings are a blur /End ID]

[ID 6: two sketches of a anthropomorphic cheetah heads. One has long ears like a lynx and is labeled DotD design, the other has small, rounded ears like a cheetah usually has, labled TLoC design. /end ID]

[ID 7: A render of Zerali, the silver dragon from the second image, and ekkosel, from the 5th, playing together. In this image, we can see Zerali has a pinky-purple underbelly and shiny gold horns.]

[ID 8: A rendered scene showing a close up of blue ignitus with his eyes closed. He appears to be talking to Cynder, who is in the background, but blurry. The game's logo is visible in the bottom left of the image. /end ID]

Hey Berserk Tumblr

Last year when lockdown started I was trying to get my friend to read the manga. He said he prefers anime, so I recommended the 97 anime before realizing it was good but had some major problems, most especially a very bad dub in the final episodes. So I got the crazy idea to rip the entire series and re-dub that voice. 

And so, the Arthouse 1997 Berserk Fan Edit was born. 

What started as a small project ended up being a 4 month long endeavor, wherein I executed the following changes: 

24 episodes --> 12 episodes, each with an average length of about 40 minutes, because it's 2021 and this is what the people want now.

Removal of evil Queen/assassination subplot, because it ran long and I personally think its dumb. Sorry. Bad opinion, but I do. I do miss the conversation between Guts and Griffith afterwards but oh well, needs must.

Removal of the attack on Rickerts group, because it makes no sense in the anime and undercuts the next event. 

Removal and/or Frankensteining of some minor battles to streamline the narrative.

Take your grasses off, folks! I changed the OP to be the 97 TV trailer to better match the tone.

Redub of old woman using the movie dub voice, with associated stealth edits so it makes sense.

Bit of additional BGM (all still Hirasawa) and additional SFX (particularly during Eclipse and Zodd) 

Redraw of a couple still frames that were wonky, as well as some stealth edits to cover up weird, jarring drops in animation quality. 

Lots and lots of minor edits during battle scenes, such as slowing or speeding animation, zooming, recutting dialogue etc. to make fights more fast paced (particularly Caska).

I drew in the dicks they censored. Our boys go full frontal!

Now this was just done for my own enjoyment, but after Miura’s untimely death last year I decided to share it.

Any interest here? Any takers? Anyone wanna check it out? Its not perfect, there was only so much I could do, but I promise its good. I mean... its basically the same thing as before, only now its better. Trim the fat, deepen the flavor- you got yourself a stew!
