You can find it here ^
Yes, this is real :-)
For those of you (pretty likely) unfamiliar with my prior works, before I started writing Black Equinox, my biggest hobby was 3D animation. I was always an overambitious guy who wanted to tell stories, and tell them visually if possible. It's why I learned this branch of animation.
Many of you have probably seen B.E.'s art page, which depicts a few concept renders of various tech from Mandeville Arms. Partly I did that to aid in the designing of concepts living in my head, and partly because it's hard for me to be content with my writing keeping to a less visual medium like writing. It's why almost every chapter has an art header.
This baby right here was something I wanted to do for a LONG time, and took me a few months to make reality. I even roped poor unsuspecting Rina-Chan in to voice Twilight and Plumeria. Given past experience though, it's almost surreal being able to find competent voice actors for your material. It's something I really love about this fandom.
To answer a few questions, no, I'm NOT planning to make an animated series out of Black Equinox. This is a trailer for the story, and ONLY the story. I've been down that road before; even for this fandom and its wealth of talent, I'm not going to fool myself into thinking I can produce something feature length, however badass my desktop tower is :p
But to answer another, similar question, you might see more animated stuff in the future, and if anyone thinks they can help with voicing for that, I think we could work something out. Having a standby voice for OC's like Corey (I could probably voice Mandeville myself) would be useful.
My ultimate pipe-dream goal would to create a PROPER trailer, which outlined the story and featured a lot of moneyshots. Probably won't happen, because it would mean creating assets for just about EVERYTHING, but you never do know...
I have past experience as a voice actor.
It's a good thing I never went further down that road or I'd be eating scraps out of the trash.
Nice, creative work there! Reminds me of some of the 3D stuff I did back in college. Good times.
Um, I have no idea how my voice actually sounds to other people (especially considering it's way worse than I think it was when I hear recordings of it) But my voice is available. I have a youtube channel where I send my livestreams if you want to hear it (Although you'll probably think my brittish accent is fake)
So, how long is the animation gonna be?
