I spent one week modeling this so far, I plan to model also interior.  I will need so much patience with this project

Watch my madness day submission!    http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/646347

Happy madness day everyone!  It has been over 10 years since I saw madness movie for first time. Since then I knew I want to do animations like that, but I didnt knew, that I will as good as I am, I am really grateful for 1th place in madness audio contest and 4th place in aimation contest.  

This time, I won't be after winning the contest, I will just show some of my unfinished work, so you guys can at least see what I did so far.  

Unfortunately I dont have enough time to animate flash anymore, and I have to move along,   so I decided to do 3d graphics (modeling) and music. 

Screenshot of my latest project. it was too large, difficult and beyond capabilites of student that animate in his spare time.  (I will release what has left this madness day, so you have something to look forward :D )

Check these two images, probably highest quality stuff I have ever created :D

(btw that black spot on neck is not painted texture area when MARI crashed.  still early work in progress)

My goal was to create really detailed and appealing character for my demo reel.

yeah, maybe my best flash project got ruined...

But I started to work on my 3D showreel and a bit harder than I expected.    Feel free to  chceck my art to see some 3d renders I made.  

Since I stopped my work on madness, I started to model Sci-fi character.  still much work needs to be done, but still I decided  to share work in progress render in my art: http://sunshaft.newgrounds.com/art/

Maybe I will digg you some saved footage from 3d madness and upload it on madness day.

Also I will give all symbols I have drawn for madness to some talented animator to create a movie with them.

After all the work we have done, I am so Dissapointed...

Djjaner just told me, he quits animation...

see his post

I am not to sure what to do now.. should I find another animator to finish my project? or should I just giveaway all the symbols I have drawn?  

I guess I will just go on with my 3d stuff

So I worked a bit more on main characters design.  I really try to make antagonists as much enjoyable as main protagonist, then make every character look distinctive but also appropriate to conditions.   

Djjaner made some tests and his facial animation skill is UBER LEVEL!    you can expect smooth and fluid animation of facial expressions and lip sync.

these characters are still in concept stage, I might redo them (probably robo-soildier on right will be redrawed)  

and also looks of the characters will change during the movie, they will get bruises, wounds, different clothes etc...

Btw drawing female in madness style is so weird...    still I am really stisfied with result, having sympathetic characters is really important to me. 

in therms of backgrounds and  overall feel, I am really inspired by The Last Of Us, that is greatest piece of art ( althrough I never played it lol)

I relied on Djjaner to collaborat with me on our really high quality project.   But now he decided to make voting for projects so he will decide which project he takes.

 on DJjaners News feed,  Voting is over, and YOU guys, you have saved this project! Big ups to everyone, who voted!  

Check Art preview  and Animation Preview

It will feature Voice acting, and Strong story element.    

More detailed information here.

Finally, this project is slowly getting real.

So far I made some backgrounds, guns, effects.   I dont want to use any sprites from original madness, I want to be everything drawn and animated by our team.   Now I work on Characters, I work with MOC productions  on story,  then I plan all the action scenes.   

This needs to be finished before we will even start to animate this movie.

My challenge is, to make this movie enjoyable even to people who dont know madness and expect from cartoons more than endless kills.

Do you like my art style? I want it to be quite different from ussual madness movies.

What are your favorite guns you want in the movie?

Awesome news!  The project started really good, our team has grown!

Currently on the team: Me, Djjaner, Alpha-Nuva, MOC Productions

This is what you can expect from us:

Characters:

I did a basic character design, face rig, so emotions and lip sync will be easy to animate. I will try to make them as appealing as possible, and they will change along as movie progresses.

I am looking for best voice actors now. Voice and facial animation is rally the best way to express what characters think and feel. I want to avoid using plain text as much as possible. (I will add dialogue subtitles so everyone can understand)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Story:

I have already written 6-paged concept. inspired by story of Inception, Bioshock Infinite and similar movies.

It is going to be intense, creepy but also I will add happy and sad moments.

There will be 6 distinct locations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combat:

Large variety of combat styles, guns, melee weapons, characters taking cover, more intelligent enemies and outsmarting them.

Action scenes in the movie will be divided into 4 main parts with different fight style, intensity and fitting music.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music:

I will do all music myself, many of you like dubstep, dnb, many want techno and other genres..

so I decided to make one huge Orchestral/Soundtrack song with 5 Elements of:

1.Cheshyre style techno

2.Brutal dubstep

3.Fast paced Drum n Bass

4.Slow but really cool Trap/industrial Mechanic sound

Each of music style will be fitting featured action scene.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Art style:

Mostly cinematic style, with strong atmosphere and tension

I will make detailed characters, detailed backgrounds with perspectives, changing environment.

I am going to put a lot of emphasis to Blood and Gore, because it is main point of madness and pretty much one of few colored things in madness style movies.

I want to keep the madness style in the movie, but I also need to make it interesting-looking for non madness fans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am always eager to eat some critics, and suggestions.   I appreciate all the support from you guys.

This will be probably my last and BEST movie with madness theme. My job his to come up with awesome story, characters, music and draw all symbols, backgrounds, effects and characters.  He Djjaner will animate it along with my story board. He has mad animation skills, trust me, nothing less that Krinkels himself.   It will come out on Madness day this summer, we have plenty of time.  

Maybe we will use voice actors, but only if it will be top quality, I will take nothing less than the best ones. so dont worry about weird voices or so...   If you know good voice actors, send me a message.

Also do you have any cool ideas that I could use?   post them into comments I will take them in mind. 

It is going to be the greatest madness cartoon ever!
