Agreed ​@@Phonerhell The anti christ and a serial killer are different leagues

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

some translations from the Russian for the viewers the strange symbols read "иди нахуй" backwards - literally "go fuck yourself," and made famous through its association with a certain Russian warship the message etched into his spine reads "когда он умер бескон" - literally," "when he died, an endless," and it can be assumed that the remainder of the spine reads the rest of the verse. this is amazing work and I hope you continue making animatics
