Jurassic Rage 2!!! Promo!: Yay or nay?






















So this is a little quick update. I will be making smooth, fluid, and beautiful animations like this with each new dinosaur that I made with the extra parts to promote Jurassic Rage's new season. After I'm done with all the current fights I will upload all the dinosaurs doing their own roar and stuff (as seen above) to see if I get a positive response. If not then I'll save them for Jurassic Rage 3

The ultimate battle (For the future) and Beta Mode Sticks

I think, just the imagery ALONE is enough to hype this fight up. I mean, these guys are basically Super Rex's. Vastatosaurus is a mega evolved Tyrannosaurus and Indominus is a Genetically modified Tyrannosaurus... both are INSANELY durable and built to be ABSOLUTE killing machines. I love Vastatosaurus more, but honestly I don't know who'll win. Most would most likely agree Vastatosaurus would be the winner. I recently chatted with other animators and Vastatosaurus seemed to be the victor. HOWEVER! I will say that people did say that's the ONLY one Indominus would lose to. Everyone else Indominus would kill. He'd win against Giganotosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, and even Spinosaurus. I will admit, his intelligence and extremely useful arms give him a huge edge. His arms are actually usable which I think is hilarious. I don't think Spinosaurus or even Giganotosaurus's arms would be very useful. Granted they are large, but they can't lean on it. Not at all.

I think I'll save this fight for when I reach 10k subs again. I would have loved to do this on my Predalian5 channel, but... you know... YOUTUBE and their "weirdness"... anyway, so this will be a HUGE Project. As in, I think I'll start working on it now until I reach 10k subs. Not even lying. I want this to be at least, AT LEAST!!!... 10 minutes long. If I can I'll get it to 30 minutes. Well, here we go... but I'll wait on it a bit. Why? because

Beta Mode sticks: I stated before this whole tend of "other parts" won't be used in my videos. However, I am considering my options. Here's what I was thinking for the future:

Phase 1: Season 1. While working on Season 1 for Jurassic Rage. I will continue to make my usual fights. Then, MAYBE Season 2, I will use new sticks like this. Maybe. However, Since I already have a season 2 fight in the works with over a thousand frames, I might just keep using the style until season 3. Either way, one new season will have new sticks after that. I do plan on making a new Tyrannosaurus and Spinosaurus stick using this new stick and make it for the first fight of season 2, just to test it out. If it get's a positive response I'll keep it like that. If not then I'll wait until season 3. So be sure to give your input when it's released!

Phase 2: New sticks. After season 1 or 2, make the new sticks. So this WILL eventually happen. As a new medium get's made, I'll have to keep up with it. But that's really it, nothing super dramatic

Phase 3: ALL BACKGROUND FIGHTS! I will PERSONALLY make every backgrounds, every shot I can for each fight, because I will most likely have advanced in animation by then

Phase 4: (Beta) for those of you who have seen my Semi realistic Vastatosaurus, I had an idea the other day. If any of you have seen "How It Should Have Ended" you'll notice the animation style has a particular way of being animated. Basically, they save the arms, and legs as "stand alone" and move them like puppets. So, what I was considering doing was making another dinosaur with Semi Realistic features, and try the puppet thing.

Again, for now Phase 4 is just an idea. I will eventually be learning the ins and outs of Photoshop so I might do it when I really know how to do it.

Well that's it for today, thanks for reading

New stick pack?






















It's rather unfortunate really... that I decided to give in. I said multiple times that all these extra figures are unnecessary and what did I do? I went and made one. Dammit...

Well. To give it some credit I do like that the arms and legs don't have to be so... out. I never liked that about making sticks. I have to sacrifice accurate looking dinosaurs so they at least "look" right.  But on the bright side, my fans like my old style better. So I may just stick to ONE STICK figurines. But, it'd be a shame to simply throw this away. I have 2 options

1: I make an entirely new stick pack containing stick figures like this

or

2: I just keep this and make all the parts the same color

I know it'd be easier to go with number 2. But my fans have spoken. Old style rocks. But if it's any conciliation to whomever's reading this, I might do it for season 2 of Jurassic Rage. Next season requires an upgrade after all... hmmm.. Practicing background painting I should make all my fights backgrounds for season 3. Well, we'll see. Depends on how well the channel goes. Other than that, this is currently in Beta Mode. So I won't be giving this out in case any animators are reading this. I'll just give some test footage and all that. See how well it transitions to animation in my style with the backgrounds. Speaking of which:

Next video is done. NOT and animation but I enjoyed making it a lot and I hope you guys will like watching it. So keep an eye on that Subscription tab on YouTube (Also I will update here before releasing)
