Lightning Man WIP Animation

So this is just a quick ref animation for Lightning Man.

Each circle point is to indicate to direction change of the Lightning, scale change due to perspective, a new keyframe pose and shockwaves. Lines right now are simply refs too, they'll be proper lightning strikes with sharp edges and style soon enough.

Green is Afterimages, and the last 2 key poses are just sketches.

I really love the flow of this piece, I can't wait to make it far more fleshed out than it is now. Enjoy :D

Below is just a quick conceptual sketch that helped formulate the piece in my mind. As well as the original Lightning Man animation that shows how I intend to stylize the Lightning in question. The backstory behind the character is in this post here: https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/tanktheta/lightningman-strikes

Holy shit dude this is so good keep it up!

TankTheta responds:

Thanks mate, you should check out my other stuff. People really enjoy that good old tank Hammerslam animation here. But there's alot of stuff around. A recent one was the Lily animation, I think you'd like that alot (This animation here is 24fps due to the needs, but Lily's one is 10fps due to it being official promotional art for the game)
