Concept art of Lord Blackheart, the big bad from #MechaKnights, another project for down the line...
@RetroGamer_Mag LJB's portrayal of the character is still THEE depiction for me, the man chewed the scenery so hard in this role he liquified it, this guy absolutely belongs in the cartoon villains hall of fame.
Custom animations like this need pixel perfect study of the sprites, so I've learned a few things, like how much stuff gets reused as standard, and Max has some REALLY creaky frames, ie his shrivelled arm in the elbow drop and chop and totally misaligned head position in the spin
Expect a wide variety of twisted, terrifying monstrosities to bar your path to victory, as you control an elemental force of nature given form as a giant, magical bird, in a battle to save the Earth from a nightmarish alien virus.
#CelesSteel's main protagonist, Varendor
Back when I was pushing this as my main project (trying to run before I can walk...) I designed this guy to have very much that 80s style good and wholesome heroic feel to him.
One day I'll return to the project..
