GETCHI THE JACKAL - Halo Animation

[@The_Albino_Jackal]

New lore drop explaining why jackals don’t drive in the games (they only do it when you’re not looking)

[@teezzmegee972]

In my headcannon, the jackels do a breeding ritual of going inside of a single tent with their mate to get super high together :)

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

It's a "she" (confirmed in the description). Accurate to the Halo lore, she doesn't have quills. Female Rhuutian Jackals lack them.

[@Hippyknight99]

Like a goblin running on Kobold Software?

[@starsilverinfinity]

Jackals all lost their lisence thanks to Skirmishers using forklifts without a certification in Reach

[@TheMrMayo]

Christ, bringing that back up? The amount of lawsuits those things brought during Reach was a nightmare to deal with!.... granted, the planet was being glassed, but that's besides the point!

[@MicronOnline]

I love this "Saturday Morning cartoon of The Halo enemies" vibe of this with the Spyro the Dragon sounding music in the background

1:35 he, those lower rear end animation bones are used for his armour skirting right?

[@TimotheosFraser]

@@MicronOnline Yup! That's right. I finished this rig long ago, but that portion of the model wasn't deforming right. So those bones are a recent addition to keep things in place. :)

Same thing done with raptors. Eyes the size of the skull and shortening/rounding the snout... birb personality helps to.

[@agentoranj5858]

She ate a baby on Arcadia.

[@Kythyria]

@@alexlambert8440 The wacky thing is, Getchi's head proportions aren't very different to the Halo 1 Jackal model to begin with.

This is too adorable! Even after playing Halo 2 in legendary... this jackal, Getchi, I will spare. She is too cute!

[@Victor-056]

The whole animation brings to mind of Old Style Garry's Mod animations... And I LOVE it! I mean, Yibble's comical jump, flailing and then landing and bounce like a plywood cutout, with Getchi's rapid flailing on the spot, as well as Yibble running off the course he made with his arms in the air like how some make the TF2 Soldier run off cackling in their videos, really gives it that old machinima style that most don't seem to want to do anymore.

​@@TimotheosFraser why'd you stop doing stop motion?

[@primusstar5995]

I’m 90% sure hunters are actually quite smart (probably not the individual worms but together probably ) but they are definitely NOT peaceful.

[@ThatKobold1351]

Actually, Hunters are quite smart, they just have a superiority complex. And like killing things. Otherwise they are very nice!

[@Yuki_Seraphim]

@@primusstar5995 iirc some elites find hunters to be a little disturbing, not only because of the whole "colony of worms" thing, but because they regularly brutally crush their enemies only to start reciting poems in the elite's language

[@tanorgilbert9183]

All the things I wish to say about this animation: 1. I adore these animations (this and Yibble's), they are wonderful. They radiate Soul and Goober Energy 2. I'm glad I'm not the only one who still really likes the Halo 1 Jackal designs 3. I showed this to my beloved and she was surprised and excited to see that the Ghost was a 3D modeled Mega Bloks Ghost, and that you actually showed off the model for Getchi (she does 3D modeling as a hobby, mostly robots and le funny memes) 4. great voice acting on Yibble 5. Ghost go speen in teh loopdeloop 6. when Getchi got on top of the ghost, my beloved was fully expecting and waiting for the Gremlious/Autistic Screeching, and she was not disappointed. 10/10

[@CombustiveVideo]

The movement of the ghost at the end is so perfectly accurate to Halo CE’s style. The little wheelie motion and everything is just *chefs kiss*

[@zalrohglekgolo6149]

People have had major issues with this take: I originally suggested Halo after 2 should have gone this art direction of being less realistic and more stylized, or at the very least full cell shaded to really show off the range of color and designs instead of reaching for total realism. This was amazing, keep up the great work.
