Helltaker Dr Livesey Phonk Walk

[@The4stro]

ok there must've been some serious planing in animating the demon girls to make the animation as effective as possible. you only needed to animate two sets of legs (one set with mini skirt and smooth thighs and one set with one set with toned thighs and pants), and for every character, you just colored them differently as for the upper bodies, almost all of them are entirely static, except very small details. the details i found are: very slight lift of the end of the jacket of pandemonica, modeus and lucifer "headpiece bounce" aka modeus' hearts, azazel's halo, and justice's stars azazel's pen Zdrada's smoke there are a few extra details that must've been taken into consideration lucifer's background statues have animated headbanging and animated flames the entire design of judgement must've been made from the ground up new background for lucifer, judgement and belzebub cerberus must've been quite a lot of effort to make them work with the leg animation the only character without any added detail is malina. she doesn't have any kind of floating headpiece or anything special, which is perfectly OK, because she doesn't need them. this entire animation was created in a way to be as effective as possible, with minimal sacrifices, so the most effort could be put into the rest, like the actual animation of the helltaker, the creators name i forgot the name of, and 5 unique background each with complex 5 layer paralax (lucifer's has only 4 layers, but is also animated) again, incredible piece of animation, where the animation was slightly simplified so we could have unique design for every demon girl im sorry if i overanalyzed this, it's 3AM and that's just what i often do at this time of day

[@SebastianAriza]

Damn dude I'm definitely hearting you, I don't mind, I'm even flattered you took the time!... Now allow me to do the exact same thing lol You pretty much got everything right! And yeah I wanted to compensate the lack of animation in the upper bodies with secondary motions (First had the idea of the bouncing when animating Vanripper, and I also had to learn how to animate fire and smoke lol) to make it feel a bit more alive. Judgement and Cerberus were definitely tricky. Judgement has so much more detail than everybody else. And yeah it took a while to come up with how to do Cerberus. At first I tought to just line them up 3 times, but then my inner monologue laughed at me and called me a coward, so I tought of piling them up and have them walk in sync. Figuring out what to erase and what to keep with the legs was pretty confusing (Had to keep hitting ctrl+z every few seconds). Yeah drawing the last 3 backgrounds was pretty hard, had to come up with how the levels would look when viewed from the side. And for Beel's castle I pretty much had to make everything up while using the comics as reference for the color palette and the paintings on the wall. Had to compromise here and there but I'm pretty happy with the result! Also, there's only 1 small detail that no one has pointed out so far (Yes, I read all 775 comments individually, yes, I constantly come back to read the new ones, I love you all). It's dumb but anyway, I tried to cheat a lilttle 3d effect with Lucy's desk as it moves out of frame. Spent so much time on that desk, and it's only visible for less than 2 seconds... In other words it was totally worth it haha Also can I pin your comment to the top of the comment section? It's very informative and I'd like for more people to check it out, if you're okay with that of course :)

Thank you!

This gives me inspiration to get back into animation again since this is one of those kinds of videos where you notice more and more detail the more you look into it and it's admirable. But I can't help but overthink myself out of making my own animations all of the time. I think about how my art style changes too often, how hard it is to draw things the way I envision them, how long it'd take to do the tweening, how I can't really color, still studying shading, etc. it just goes on. I Wish I was a kid again so I could do this stuff for fun instead of scaring myself out of it every time.

[@SebastianAriza]

Hey don't worry, it's a totally understandable way to feel. Just look at how much my instagram is all over the place between 2019 and 2020. There's a bunch of color and marker drawings of games and cartoons, a bunch of pencil animals, like 3 digital ones, a few stop motion things here and there... I feel like I've only been consistent in terms of style since 2021 (and even then my style was constantly changing). I actually started to really focus on digital after a teacher told me that "if you really wanna use digital for the assignnments, you really need to polish your skills in that area", I was like damn he's totally right. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I get what you're talking about very well. If it's worth anything, my advice is to focus mostly on yourself. What do YOU wanna make? How do YOU wanna make it? How much time do YOU wanna spend on it? I didn't make this animation "to get views or subs", I just tought it'd be fun to try and make a Helltaker version of the meme cuz I love the game. I've got a few "this meme's dead" and I'm like "so what?", I'm not trying to ride the wave, if I did I would've neglected my university assignments to finish it earlier. I didn't expect this to blow up the way it did, and I'm very grateful for all the viewers and commenters. It feels amazing to see so many people being happy with what I made, specially because I also feel pretty happy with the end result.

@@SebastianAriza Thanks a lot for this reply, even the fact that you considered the possibility that I wouldn't read the entire thing says a lot about how much thought you put into this, I'm grateful to have seen this video. I guess the toughest part has been figuring out what route to go through with this stuff as well. I'm a creative person in general so I think about creating tons of things. 3D character modeling, book writing, song writing, drawing, photoshopping, video editing, animating, I've tried it all before and I love doing all of these things, no matter how shitty they come out sometimes or how often I neglect doing them, I just need to stop depending on the need to be in a specific mood to do these things I guess. Maybe you're right, I need to focus on myself and just get up and work on something no matter how much my mind tries to over rationalize it, it's just a tough habit. Or maybe it's because I'm self taught rather than being in college, but what good does excuses like that do me? Anyways, if I'm able to get over this problem and start making stuff again, I'll at least be sure to credit you or find some way to show you something you helped inspire me to make. Again, thank you. If I can, I can try to help with other things too. Making things from scratch might be pretty rough but I'm at least good with editing in a lot of fields so there's that.

I think it's a combination of the fact that this meme was blowing up at the time and based on my somewhat limited knowledge, Helltaker isn't all THAT popular, As in, it still is popular but not to the point where you can just walk up to someone and ask if they know of the game reliably without getting a "What?" as a response.

Holy shit, this is a very good video. Reminded me how much I fucking love Helltaker. I also loved that you kept the gimmick from the original video where Livsey has twice as many frames as everyone around him in the scene, and the Helltaker does too.

[@SebastianAriza]

Thanks dude, and yeah that detail was a big part of what made that og shot stand out. Definitely more work, but also more satisfaction from the end result.

[@dabiga2315]

I love that every fanart I've seen that includes Vanripper makes him smol Smolripper

[@SebastianAriza]

Plot twist, Vanripper is actually gigantic like the Furby in Mitchells

[@AitoJaOikeaNippeliFaktaa]

This is the best one yet, the animation quality and just... mwah, perfection!

[@GhostRider-xt7vp]

Awesome and so well done! The characters all fit very well in this one; especially Helltaker in the middle and you captured their personalities well and I see that the little skull guy who is Vanripper is involved in the phonk walk too? Nice! :) I think the Loremaster should be involved in the phonk walk someday.

[@SplatastictheRealOne]

Exceptional work mate, this has ascended past the meme and became Helltaken. I dare say, It's Justice's Famous Apple Pie worthy! 💖🌟✨💖

[@SaishoVibes]

This is so well animated, I tend to not look at paralax but knowing all that had to be keyframed, my goodness-

[@Kewlbreeze8]

Man. Love the Meme you made there :D Guess the Effort you made has paid off :>

[@lisakfoxxx]

I think that this was maybe the best Doctor Livesey walk animation. The way you drew every single demon with such a high effort while also giving them many small details that tell a lot about their character. Great job👍

[@SebastianAriza]

Thanks dude, it's all in the lil details, glad you liked it!

[@ctp2523]

The walking cycle was so well done, I loved it.

[@shadowtunk11]

Imagine if this was released during peak Helltaker popularity

[@talongreenlee7704]

If I had a nickel for every time KZbin animators latched on to a trend of creating an animation from profile perspective of three OC’s walking in single file to the beat of a song that’s an absolute bop, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice. The other one is Soldier, Poet, King for anyone who was going to ask.

[@LeggendaryHobbyist]

Nicely done, seeing Helltaker just strut walking as he gathered demon harem is great.

[@soniastrumm7054]

I love this meme and Helltaker and to see them combined is amazing. I love the background transition with Lucifer and the skeletons in the background and Beelzebub my favorite at the end!!!

[@RukasuAkio]

Perfect that vid and More Peferct Mini Skeleton

[@SPlenkYT]

Dude the animation on this is 10/10.

[@CigarroSólido104]

World's best Dr Livesey walk adaptation I've ever seen I mean… you applied every good factor of Helltaker (Girls, their personalities, canon backgrounds, chronological order of the game and used creator Lukaz's avatar there) and mashed it up with a good animation and sync Just… perfect

[@andrasvajda2371]

This is an absolute MASTER PIECE !!!! :D Magnificent, i barely have words to describe the lvl of amusment and floor rolling inducing laughter this generated ! :D

[@kratangg-arang]

Oh my Go-…Lucifer this is amazing! Nothing I could say that hadn’t already been said, but this is just rad my dood!

[@yaluckyboy]

at 0:43 the place where the skeleton we knocked out of the way to reach Lucy's desk isn't still empty, why would the line move forward if Lucy already left?

[@arthurbarros5189]

It's hell. They'll be waiting her return. Even if it's forever.

[@cameronbaughman2090]

Helltaker still got that swagger 😎.

[@megahellreaper]

The best part about this is that you didn't even have to really change any of the characters' designs to make this work, everyone is very much just themselves.

[@fizzy69o.0]

Ngl transitions between demons and areas are *chef's kiss* ^w^

[@TonyRedgrave]

This is an SSS tier meme right here. Phenomenal.

[@derkatwork33]

I haven’t seen a version of this so utterly perfect since the TF2 version.

[@Shadow3397]

Now this is perfection!

[@SebastianAriza]

Thx, glad you liked it!

[@kobz2862]

Vanripper (the creator of Helltaker) has woke up one day and decided that there's not enough hot girls in sharp suits, so he made them. King.

[@JargonMadjin]

Vanripper woke up one day and suddenly decided the world needed sharply dressed demon girls Helltaker woke up one day and suddenly decided he needed those sharply dressed demon girls So basically, if you wake up one day and suddenly want sharply dressed demon girls, it means you're a chad

[@musicalsystem927]

Damn, this is well made. That's it, first video of yours I've seen, and I'm subscribing.

[@Gungho73]

Can we talk about how the angel characters pen actually moves back and forth to denote writing on the pad while staying in motion with the walk? So great! Thanks for sharing with the worldwide audience your animation ^_^

[@SebastianAriza]

Thanks for checking it out! Glad y'all noticed the lil details.
