_//Knight
_//Fullview needed. (In order to get rid of shadow)


_//Idea:

This is one that has been floating around for a couple of months. I remember initially starting one ages ago, and gave up pretty quickly cause the idea was getting nowhere. Anyway I decided to revisit this a couple of days ago, and restarted everything from scratch. This gave me a bit more fluidness in the production.

_//Description:

The Knight is standing there, situated around the outskirts of the battle fields. His visor isn't the best to see out, so he lifts it up for a quick peek around, then pops it back down. Shaking his fist about to charge into battle, he hears arrows being fired, and covers himself up with his shield. He takes a couple of quick swipes, making sure everyone is out of the way, before he loops and takes a peek again.

_//Side notes:

Thanks to *scoota269 and *SinOfDreams in little pointers they talked about when I showed them a mock up. Scott asked to make the sword longer and add a design on the shield, both of which I added, while Dan wanted the swishing of the sword. Thanks also goes out to * lady-maree :heart: for her initial feedback and continual support :love:.

_//Additional:

One more thing, if anyone can pick the logo on the shield, I will happily give them some exposure in my journal for all to see.

Comments and critique greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tom :)

noice, good work, the logo on teh sheild, no idea :lol:

animatining is nice and fluid, shading is realistic, however i'd suggest having him tilt forward just after he shakes his fist, to give the impression of him moving in. just a suggestion :)

I'm liking the shield now :D Nice animation sequence. My only thoughts on this is part the sword movement looks like he's conducting, rather than slashing, but I'm not sure what could be done to change that :shrug: Nicely done Tom :nod:

THAT'S SO CUTE! Now he needs a white horse emote so he can go rescue a princess emote! :giggle:

Wicked cool. I love the arrow bombardment and the sword shaking. I'm new to custom emotes... can they be used? like could I do this... :knight: and see your emote? I love it. :thumbsup:

Another hidden gem I only just discovered. The animation on the sword is very smooth and the idea in general is excellent. :+fav:
