VBN's 2013 Gallery: 3-2-13 Wolverine animation finished!

Well I'd been meaning to open up this gallery, but real life kept getting in the way. So here we go.

My inspiration for micro'ing normally came from the MMO City of Heroes, but with it's unexpected shutdown on November 31st of last year I've moved more in the direction of comic books, so expect to see many more Marvel, DC, and Image themed microheroes from me. To start off, I'll share my final City of Heroes micro I made last year.



This is Mystic Fortune, my namesake from City of Heroes, inspiration from him was pulled heavily from Dr. Fate.

Next I have a sort of amalgam of two very popular anti-heroes: Ghost Rider and Spawn. This is Hellrider.



Next up in the marvel line, my Goblins.



Hobgoblin, Green Goblin and Demogoblin

My Wolverine animation.



Finally, I have most of the original supernatural heroes that were brought together by Dr. Strange in the early 90's to form the Midnight Sons.



Ghost Rider* & Johnny Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance
Blade: The Vampire Hunter
Hannibal king: The Half Vampire
Morbius: The Living Vampire*

*Ghost Rider and Morbius are two of my previous microheroes, but I've included them to help establish the group.


and of course, my favorite cosmic superhero. Adam Warlock with the Infinity Gauntlet!


Plenty more to come, stay tuned!

Nice work.

Amazing!

Those are so great! What software/site do you use to animate your micros? I'd love to try some animation in the future.

Thanks for the replies folks!

likexaxfury, I use photoshop to craft and animate my micros.

Thanks for the response. I'm so bad at Photoshop Guess I should brush up.

Dude, what a wicked new gallery.

Brushing up on a certain wall-crawler's current events and came across a certain villain that recently got a sweet update, so I felt I just had to make it into a micro.

Not quite finished yet. Possibly have it up by tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, here's a little teaser!

hobgoblin`?

Correct you are!

Incredible work on them!

Ah, I remember Mystic Fortune from way back when you started! I really like the newer version!

I was very saddened to hear of CoX's passing. I didn't play currently, but had something like 48 months on my account....guess that's one I won't pick back up "someday".

Nice work all around. I love the GRs head.

Welcome back VbN. the redos of Mystic Fortune and Hellrider look wicked
the Goblins and the Midnight Sons are soo cool!!

Hobgoblin looks way freaking rad. Did you make those wings?

oooo what amazing goblins
i love how you've captured the faces and the details on the costumes.....wow

Very nicely done.

I did, yes. Which is probably why the design and shading isn't perfect. In the reference shots I found of the new Hobgoblin (rather scarce actually), the wings were intact and almost resembled wasp wings. I decided to design them a little differently and add in the rips and tears at the bottom to give the wings more 'character'. I worked on one wing for quite a while and got impatient so I just mirrored it for the second wing.

Anyways, thanks all for the wonderful comments! Stay tuned for more!

What a really job with Hobgoblin.

teaser inbound!



If you're asking yourself, "Is that... the Infinity Gauntlet?!"

The answer is, why yes. Yes it is.

Dude that is really impressive, well done.

I need to see more. I may even stay home today so I can see more as soon as you post it.

The wait is over! Behold, Adam Warlock with the Infinity Gauntlet



A little attempt at Kirby Dots towards the end of the second animation.

Very cool animations, they both look cool.

What a really marvelous job.
