Tango's Great Escape (Limited Life Animatic)

speedran this in two days at the cost of my bones, my sleep schedule, and my sanity. but I had fun while doing it so this will probably happen again. I just need to find new bones first.
audio taken from Tango’s episode 4:
• TOTAL CHAOS!! - Limite...

Just a bun ay kids with Weapons, VERY sharp weapons

No that’s the entire life series

Etho's "He went for coffee I'm pretty sure" takes me out every time. 😂

etho’s like “i saw nothing” when tango dropped down in front of him lmao this man has gone through so much

[@IrregularityRowan]

he isn't a snitch

[@gardenshed6043]

The only thing that would’ve made it better in the moment is if when they said, “Tango?” He replied, “Teko”.

[@SirChaosS]

Well, let's give Tango a bit of slack. He was digging for his life and probably not thinking the sharpest.

[@gardenshed6043]

@@SirChaosS Oh yeah of course. Given that that is the *only* thing that would’ve made it better. The sequence is pretty damn good.

[@BingoIndigo]

this was the greatest scene in the entire series, I'm so glad you decided to make an animatic out of it!

[@lemobread]

thank you!

[@miniciominiciominicio]

Tango’s decision to respond with Polo the first time made this scene. It would have still been funny but it wouldn’t have reached the greatness it did had Tango opted to stay silent. Amazing character design, facial expressions, and animations!!

Ironic that the ravine that took the lives of Skizz and Impulse saved Tango

[@jacklarus]

It owed their team a favour.

[@lonesurvivor8828]

Great detail! It also took etho if im correct, in a later episode.

[@Hamfrags]

At the very least, it's coincidental.

[@lonesurvivor8828]

@@Hamfrags at most... It's DESTINY

[@familytablet6453]

@@lonesurvivor8828 NOT NOW. DEAL WITH DESTINY HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TOO MANY TIMES. And yes, I know what you are talking about. When anyone says "destiny" like that in the hermitpires fandom (it's a lot of the same people thx to HC9 and Empires || so I consider them the same + there are only two non-hermitpires players in Limited Life/Traffic Life in general so I consider it a part of hermitpires), they are referencing that song.

[@tumblingartist]

These are some of the coolest character designs I’ve seen for the Limited Life peeps

[@SniperkingSogeking04]

I love that since Impulse is a demon Skizz gets to be an angel 😂

[@Hello_World_not_taken]

For tango this is terrifying, for any non-TIES member, it’s the Benny Hill Theme

[@segevstormlord3713]

"I can hear his heartbeat!" I really wanted that to be a sign a Warden was loose.

[@ElilianElkins]

This beautiful in so little time?? I love it!! The panic in Tango's face, Etho avoiding eye contact when he's lying, the desesperate want from yellows for 30 more minutes turning into feral energy... Just woah, the expressions, the movements, the designs, everything is so good individually and even more all together!

[@eileenkelleghan680]

The blood thirst was very palpable on this episode; tango himself admited to be terrified at the end of the video!

[@JudeTheAutomaton]

The ancient law of Tango polo, he must always respond to any challenged issued with his name.

[@kRx1203]

It's borderline impossible to follow what exactly is happening, but I can't really blame the animatic for that, since that's what the episodes felt like too. The expressions on the other hand are top notch.

[@giovannirocket9954]

Honestly, Tango always emanates big goblin energy and this animation captures that perfectly

[@chatpuns]

I can't decide which design I love the most, like Joel's is fantastic but I utterly love your design for Tango, it has such gremlin energy

[@rosathefoxgirl]

The "suckers" at the end killed me 😂

[@Rilnap]

Joel:tangoo~ Tango: NoT tAnGo

[@_lemonbat_1844]

I love how stressed poor Tango looks. You did really good with the expressions!

[@gwencharming4533]

There's something about these drawn out chases that happen in the series that is SO entertaining and honestly nerve racking- When I was watching Scott's vid I was PANICKING SO MUCH-

[@samstone8674]

I am in love with your Tango design, it's my favorite by far, and you hit it out of the ballpark with how expressive you made Tango's absolute panic and his wheezes/giggles. And is Skizz's angel design based solely on the fact that he's made a habit of dying often this season, or just because he's that nice of a dude? (Cus Skizz is so ridiculously kind it's absurd. The term angel really does fit him.) And good luck finding new bones, your sacrifice is greatly appreciated :)

[@lemobread]

Skizz is an angel because a lot of artists draw Impulse as a demon (It's the "Imp" in the name) and then decided they should match :D

[@samstone8674]

@@lemobread awww that's cute! I love it!

[@familytablet6453]

@@lemobread Did you make Tango look like a goblin for a reason?

[@lemobread]

@Family Tablet He has Little Guy Energy and the already established fanon design for Tango has sharp teeth and red eyes. I just put my own twist on his design and kept messing with it until I was happy with it lmao- I'd never actually drawn Tango until I watched Double Life and got unhealthily attached to the ranchers XD

[@IrregularityRowan]

@@lemobread fair enough

[@_rio_2965]

Tango design is so so so SO SO SO SO SO nice on the eyes! I love the hair leingth, the heirclips, the wonderful green and green colour of his eyes! The shape of his face when he's facing sideways!!! All of it is so so good!!!

[@lewis9535]

This was amazing!!! I loved this scene so much!! Everyone was talking about how Scott escaped the whole server, but so did tango lol

[@lonesurvivor8828]

Tango actually escaped, Scott was cornered. Tango coule have absolutely survived that last 15 minutes. What a legend.

[@leefaegaming1285]

Tngo is good sports, I wouldn't have answered Polo to Marco X)

[@tumblingartist]

It has the same vibes of “RED ROBIN!” “…Yum.”

[@ElleKT]

This has been my favorite clip probably of the entire Life Series and that's saying something! It feels weird to see Tango with green eyes, but I totally get the why.

[@sashafiredrake7874]

So good! please get some sleep now and give your poor hands a break because you made that SO fast. Also I love your Martyn and Joel designs for this so much. Joels lil yellow streak in his pony tail and Martyn's coral horns/long hair combo are both fantastic. My favorite panel has gotta be at 0:38 though, where a truly terrified looking Etho is trying to block Tango in better.

[@grimaussiewitch]

I was so hoping someone would make an animatic from that scene! Poor tango getting chased but it made a funny sequence lol.

[@not_emiko]

YOUR LIMITED LIFE DESIGNS ARE SO COOLLL The bad boys look like they could be a rock band I love them The coral kids' design look absolutely gorgeous Tangos design makes him look like a little gremlin I LOVE UR ARTSTYLE SMMM :DD

The _designs_ And the expressionssss!!!! This one frame 2:51 has been in my head all day for how amazing it is

[@ahiggy583]

It took me a second to realize why impulse had hornes but then i realized it was because 'imp" :') All your designs are so good! :D

[@familytablet6453]

Tango's design reminds me TOO MUCH of a goblin, further strengthening the association with those goblins from Lego Elves (the association came from the noises he makes when he's upset) edit: istg if no one knows what Lego Elves is...

[@DarbyTricker-fs1vy]

This gave me a heart attack I grew up with Lego Elves……..

[@amythestmuse22]

I love how both Etho and Impulse tried to cover for Tango. Like.... Etho's saying Tango went for coffee and Impulse chimes in with the idea of Tango needing to go get a haircut. Very sweet of them. Also ironic that the one looking like a demon is being sweet and Skizz, who looks like an angel, is the bloodthirsty one here.

[@spiriox]

Long hair Tango is my life now, screw off NO BUT THIS WAS THE SICKEST THINGY OF THE ENTIRE SERIES?? LIKE LEGIT GOD DAMN AMAZING ANIMATION
