This is my first Speedpaint!
In this video we make The Witch-Hunter (A.K.A. The Priest - The Monk -etc) for the heavy rock music video "Hammer The Witch", which we had the pleasure to make for Valhalla Lights.

In it you can see the process from storyboard/layout to the final animated art. If you pay attention you can also see how each part is cut and named for later animation in After Effects, with the awesome free rigging script DUIK.

If you haven't seen "Hammer The Witch"... What are you waiting for? Click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7puRU892gbI

Special thanks for the band Valhalla Lights, who are the awesomest people ever and you should totally follow and listen them(links below).
Also thanks to http://peace-of-art.deviantart.com/ , from were I took the reference for the monk.

And don't forget to Suscribe for more animations, speedpaintings and tutorials!
