Character Menu

This is part or the beginning of a method that im going to use in the future, the idea would be having a menu made on flash with all my characters in the same position with a menu where i could compose the character that i want with parts of other characters that i made,making a library of characters and armour resources.This is the first attempt with Cassius character.

Character Development - Cassius



I tried to focus this project on the main character of the game Cassius, a robot made by the Humans on the time that they searched for new planets to live,Cassius is one of the units to explore planet but he was damaged and lost contact with the Humans proceeding his quest for knowleadge and terraform throw the Universe.
The character has simple lines of design but his armour and weapons are in constant shapping to other devices that will make his life easier.
My intentions where to make frame animations of the character doing basic mooves but didnt develop enough skill in time.

Personal Development

Well the reason why i wanted to work on this project was because i could combine in a story a sci fi story and fantasy,combining them and making an interesting story putting Lord of the Rings and Star Wars in one boat and something more(i hope),the characters arent supposed to be really detail but deep in character joined in a Epic galactic battle.
In terms of research was good to analize comics more deeply, investigate more about phenomenas on space, planets and robot technology.
I think my skills on drawing, composition and painting technique made a big improvement since the previewst term and year.

show real

Finally animation for the show real is done!!
Combining illustrations perpouslly done for the intro animation of the game, the hole animation had to be adjusted for the show real because of the duration of the animation, so it had to be shorted to 30sec(new video with longer lenght will be added).The idea of animation was to resemble a comic book but being guided by the narrator telling the story,using this method of desorganized sequence pictures and guided with the camera.
I had to put the hole picture of the animation because with 30sec is impossible to get everything.



Extra Storyboard

This sequence that i made was to finish the storyboard and have the overall idea of thesequence for the showreal.The movements of Cassius (the main character) using the jetpack are inspired on Iron Man, Rocketer the movie, Super man.
The ideia of being orange yellowy colour this sequence part is that i wanted to show the character admiring the sunset on the landscape, making a very wide enviroment so thats how it would feel on the game focussing on flying throw the enviroment.
So and this is how it would end the sequence of Cassius landing with his spaceship on the planet and start exploring.






Humans Game Story

p.s more images of
the story will be added



Humans – The Heart of Leviathen (1st book)
The year is 2087 and humanity has united as a global connection, controlled by the best scientist, engineers and best leaders to take the best results, for a while was a good society but unfortunally the mistakes from the past came strong, the extreme conditions of short amount of natural resources so it was time to extreme measures too, 2 plans started, one evolved on a mass transportation to the beyond of galaxy and the other was to experiment on a weapon of endless energy resource with the finger print of the humans on the Universe called Leviathen, as the “Last Breath” of human kind.
Leviathen project wasn’t finished by the unexpected arrival of a being from out of space arrived and everything changed, humans disappeared in space and left Leviathen still not ready.
The project was finished by someone protecting the existence of human kind with a different reason; the key inside the Leviathen projected millions of orbs with the human gene to space.
That’s how this story starts, one of these orbs was found in solar system inside the Milky Way called Murh were Ganjin was born or created, this character is unique, he is born of a mix of species of the humans and an intelligent specie in the planet Murh, there is not much that he knows about his past but a lot more aware of his capability of surviving, and he took the moment to escape the specie that was controlling him as a weapon, so he moved faster then the wind between the trees until he found a spaceship were he makes his escape out of the planet, the spaceship got hit by rocket from the planet that forced Ganjin to make a emergency stop on a close planet colliding on a tree near a water fall, he survived and saved by a another creature that treated him for a few weeks having flashes in his dreams about his past, experiments on him by his creator, until he woke up a saw someone helping him, disturbed and perplex by something that he never had or seen jumped and ruined until he stopped by the sound made by the creature that was helping him, somehow he understood the language, still very confused and defensive Ganjin found his spaceship and recovered there by his own.
He got better and survived by his needs until he could finish repairing his spaceship, while time was passing by, Helik the creature who saved him introduced him self and started having a friendly relationship sharing thoughts and food, Helik told how he had to run away from his planet and hide because his solar system is conquered or controlled by one emperor called Yogune Nushi,
battles been fought and many life’s lost so he had to hide far away to not jeopardize more life’s specially his sister that is in this constant war,he is waiting for the perfect time to come back and revenge and help free dozens of civilizations in that solar system, he described a decade that they had of peace and perfect harmony until the essence of the planet created a shape and giving them all forms of life, made Ganjin have a different perspective of life.
Few weeks have passed and Ganjin is fixing his spaceship and senses something different, the air moved in different ways, Ganjin picked his sword and jump and in a second this creature appears floating in front of him in an energy shield..Ganjin was frizzed, he introduced him self as Ozen and said that he didn’t mean no harm and his friend was in danger and big decisions will be made by him and in a blink of a eye he disappeared, Ganjin now in control of his movement he saw smoke between the trees so he believed this mysterious creature and followed the smoke until he got intercepted by creature warrior with a dirty skin and bones reconstruction trying stop him,
Ganjin as friendship despair kills this creatures quickly until he found Helik, but he was on the floor with a another creature holding him, the creature looked at Ganjin and got surprised and yeald in a bass
distorted voice “YOU KILLED MORZ!”.
He stands up and runs into Ganjin but get s pulled into space and disappeared. Ganjin grabbed Helik and feels a pain he never felt before, nothing compared to any wound he had, he hears noises of a presence moving and picks his sword and sees a female creature running in his direction, Ganjin lowed his weapon when realised that she was crying for his brother, it was Shya Helik sister, she holded Helik until he transformed into energy.
She introduced herself, she was following Reven the creature the killed Helik to find her brother but she couldn’t make in time. She told Ganjin that Reven had a brother called Morz that now he was killed and they were servants of Yogune Nushi, she explain how evolution was made in their planet, they were lucky to be born in a planet producing a massive amount of energy in a shape of a crystal that is one of the essences to make planets, and before the crash of the human orb on the planet they were an organized microscopic molecule civilization, when the human DNA was mixed it made shapes to molecules to be similar to humans, and one creature was born of that mix Yogune, the essences of the planet, became the ruler of the planet and created an empire and uses the energy the planet as energy power source of destruction, and all the anti-corps called Nushis of the microscopic life automatically decided Yogune as their ruler, and her brother was the last drop of the fall back, now that Yogune has in his possession the weapon that the humans invented, Leviathen was back again functional but still missing the human key and Yogune was going to use it to bring billions of planets closer to his one to control better the crystals from the planets, in a way they were connected by Leviathen and the humans by being created by the orbs, Ganjin felt he had to do this for Helik and the mystery of his existence on the humans made him curious.The plan was starting and Shya had the coordination’s from Earth *human planet) and give to Ganjin while she could prepare the attack of the rebellion on the crystal planet, so she left.
Ganjin took his spaceship still not completely fixed and made his way to Earth.
It only took a few days till he arrived in Earth, the atmosphere damaged the landing system on his spaceship so the spaceship is in falling but Ganjin is able to try to reach the land witch indicates to be only 1.3% of the planet, the moment of the crash time stoped, and Ganjin was floating on a white background and Ozen was with him,
he apologized by the short introduction but had to be necessary, he told Ganjin that after his last “right of passage”(specie ritual) he was able of time travelling and seeing Yogune Nushi being able of using the weapon and killing billions of life forms, and somehow they meet each other when he was young on Ozens planet, they were friends and shared energy secrets techniques that where secret to any other specie and then he was kidnapped by the Nushis, it was necessary now to gather everyone possible to stop Yogune to make some kind of supernova, Ganjin amazed or perplex by all information given by Ozen and asks him why he could be doing what he is doing but Ozen answer was that is going be needed a lot from everyone and he is not there and not completely in this reality, he left his right of passage just by his energy by emergency of the situation.
Ozen disappeared and left Ganjin on top of the spaceship landed on the water, what now_! Thought Ganjin, until flying machine comes closer to him and analyses him and tries to communicate and he understood the language and herd it saying that had all the answers that he needed about the humans and told him a direction to find a land that would transport him, Ganjin suspicious as always doesn’t accept the invitation so he tried to brake the flying machine but he gets confronted again by the same creature warrior that killed Helik, both angry about killing close ones , a massive fight was done and Ganjin was able of knocking Reven out and being sucked again to space to Yogune Nushi castle.
Reven in the presence of Yogune was still angry for not being allowed to fight on the preview’s fight and loosing this fight,Yogune even more angry then when with a click of a finger he killed one of his spies that saw Ozen in time dimensions going to Helik and Ganjin.
So still not understanding nothing Ganjin saw again the flying machine and it was waiting and analyzing the hole moment from far away, so Ganjin decided to grab the machine and skied to an island were he was transported out earth atmosphere to a base on the dark side of the moon, were Ganjin meet Cai, the observer and stable analyser of the sector XXA witch include earth, and revealed to Ganjin mysteries that filled peoples mind from earth from centuries, the existence of life forms in earth were created by iligal experiments of Cai, his favours one was humans, witch he loved to observe the evolution until the specie of Cai, responsible of the creation of millions of planets by need of maintaining their race the Yorks, they have a estimated living 4000 human years, so they have seen planets being destroyed so they need constant safe backup planets for moving and they communicated to Cai saying that they were inspecting the sector, Cai had to brake his promises of interfering more with evolution by love of his creation he made contact to humans, that was the moment that civilization finally found life in space, they believed Cai so they had to leave in a immediate timing, leviathan was left still not finish and a selection of 70% of the humans of the planet and dna samplers of all life forms in the planet and left to the wonders of the universe trying to find a stable planet, Cai had to renew the planet so he activated natural disasters and cleaned the planet having 99.8% of water, as a desperate move of Cai he finished the leviathan weapon and used as a human dna exporter to the universe,giving a human gene code witch will spread his creation but somehow left the gravity of earth and found by Yogune, he only did it because he was afraid that the humans would die in space and he was amazed by seeing Ganjin as part of that creation, he said it wasn’t the first one but something was different about, he was made by experiments on the dna orbs, still fascinating for Cai his 3rd step of his creation. Ganjin told him this war about to begin, but Cai already new about it and admitted that he doesn’t now were they are because he lost communication a few decades after they left the planet so he couldn’t help with more information, the only thing that he could do was sending a sonar sound with a emergency state on the crystal planet and how they are involved, so he did and Ganjin contacted Shya and left to the crystal planet with a spaceship given by Cai.
At the same time in Yogune castle Yogune sends Cassius to came to his throne room, Cassius is a robot found by Yogune in one of his conquers, that’s when Yogune learn about humans and leviathan because Cassius was programmed at the time that humans stayed in space exploring for potential landing planets so they created Cassius to analyse planets and send information back but he got damage and his AI took control and had a new master Yogune, he was the one that give the humans old earth coordination’s but they were in vain because no there was still no dna, Cassius was in a slow process of finding all the keys on the human gene and he finished so it wasn’t necessary to find a human. He give the key to Yogune but something was not right to him, somehow he felt it was wrong but decided not do anything at the moment until Reven gets pulled back by Yogune after a beat down by Yogune in Old earth, so he was really angry because he already sent an agent a few weeks previously to old earth and he lost communication or died and now Reven failed the same mission so, he grabbed Revens neck a throw him to the floor saying that he had a substitute and it was Helik as a new spirit used by Yogune calling him Nissah Helik having a massive amount of Yogunes power, Reven was able to escape because Cassius helped, he doesn’t want to be apart of this he wants to find his own path or even find the humans, Reven said he might now where they can find help immediately to brake the heart of Leviathen before it works, and Reven has a hunch on were Shya might be.
They found Shya and her legion in one of the surrounding planets witch can not be controlled by Yogune because its in a shadow of a bigger planet so Yogune can not control it, and shared information witch were valuable to sneak inside the town without sounding alarm, Ganjin arrived and saw Reven, Shya had a passed emotions with him and also killing her brother but she needed their help, but Ganjin wasn’t really happy about it so they decided to finish their personal vendetta after this war, and it was agreed.
The weapon was already started, and they had less then a day to stop Yogune. They sneaked throw the underground of the town of the crystal planet at sunrise, one squad was going first with Ganjin, Cassius and Shya to disconnect the force field and energy supply so that Yogune could not control the town and his army in the same time, so they went for it but the plan got intercepted by Helik Nissah that brook the wall and smashed Ganjin into the wall, Shya surprised to see her brother alive but in the wrong side said to Cassius to proceed with the plan and she tried to put some reason to Helik but Helik is constantly attacking her until she gets really damaged , Ganjin wakes up and kicks Helik Nissah throw the wall with him and the fall in a middle field were the war is going star, the rebellion is there on the first strike but the legian of Yogune empire was to big and easily they were defeating the rebellium because even Yogune was in the battle and with his presence everyone that he wants has more energy supply to fight.
So Cassius was able of disconnecting the energy field and now it was possible to destroy big spaceships and buildings, Yogune fought with Ganjin for a while a promessed him a future but Ganjin showed what he was capable of but was far from defeating Yogune, so Yogune had to leave and prepare the Leviathen while more and more enemies were arriving to continue the fight, Cassius was able of finding Shya and taking her to a safe place, but the rebellion is getting domed until massive spaceships arrived making everyone thinking it was the Humans but no, it was Rimus specie, a hole specie of warrior that belong to Yogune empire now was against the fake God and made a good backup to hold on the war.
Yogune was preparing the weapon until Ozen its present on the room, they fought with energy until Ganjin arrives and sees Yogune saying that only with him all this could start or finish and flied with a sword to Ozen and let the sword go when he was close to him and Ozen took advantage and used the sword to stab Yogune, Yogune said that he couldn’t kill Ozen even if it was the only good thing that he could do, and rune to the controller of the Leviathen and a massive explosion happen and Ganjin was watching the situation and got projected outside, the Leviathen was hit by a meteorite witch Cassius calculated that was sent from humans and could only be the coordinates from their planet, the explosion of the weapon made everyone be project to the floor and all the Nushis were vanish, after Cassius recognizing the coordinates of the asteroid that were made by human contact Shya mentions that Rimus might chosen the right side, there was no more need of having protector on the planet, so Yogune was vanished too like Ozen.
And when Ganjin got out of the floor he saw Reven looking at him, both of them tired but still ready to fight each other now for more taste to see who survives.
The explosion of the weapon was seen from hundreds of planets and civilizations, for some a relief of piece and for other a simple blink on the sky.The story will continuing with the mind battle between Ganjin and Reven and his evil Reven God, Yogune wont die and will be sent to a dimensional worm were he is going be punished and have a different objective of life, it could be this or it could be something completely different only time and inspiration will bring the answers that all characters are looking for on the Humans now that they now where they are…
