*Remember, just because eggman is commonly shown to be a kooky comedic villain.. Is by no means an indicator that he should not be taken seriously... This man is the bane of worlds.*
He has, on numerous occasions, almost ended the world. Literally.
He has been serious before this
@@tubofmacaroni Four of his most well known attempts in the games are Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Forces.
And to those who are thinking of also adding Sonic Colors to that list, he tried to MIND CONTROL it, not destroy it.
I love this animatic. The literal apocalypse is unfurling on the world below, thousands of innocent citizens being turned, and Eggman couldn't be happier. And I also really like that newsreel at the beginning! Immersive!
Funny story haha, I added that newsreel because I was submitting this for a school project and needed to pad the runtime, but I wound up really loving it as well. I’m glad you like the animatic!
@@LittleMissDopeyDid you get an A?
@@kingcamelot1395 got a 90 baby😎
@@LittleMissDopeyWhat was the project about what- Lmao
@@Sallysekai It was for film class. Our final project was a 4 min animated short
Notes of Awesomeness:
- 1:13: You can see that Eggman is wearing his original outfit from the 90's! Considering that's the era Metal Sonic was created, it makes perfect sense that's the time period this photo would/could have been taken.
- 1:21: I don't know why I loved this little moment of Eggman's shoes being zipped up, but it just added to his sense of style for me. Especially because in Sonic Forces I always customized my character with a variant of them lol.
- 1:46: This shot of Eggman's POV is so good at conveying the fact that he looks down, literally, on those around him. Proceeding to then drop down to an angle in which you see Orbot and Cubot attempting to hype him up, but are unable to see his face, is so smart. Trying to please Eggman but being flat-out ignored.
- 2:55: OMG STARLINE LOOKS SO COOL!!
Basically, as someone who does not do this and has no idea what she's talking about, WOW! I love these comics, this arc, and this video! You should be so proud!
Thank you for making this!! I didn’t think anyone but me would notice these tbh but this is so sweet
@@LittleMissDopey How could I not? The amount of love, respect, and care put into a piece of art like this is too incredible to ignore. I did not think that I could love this arc any more, but here you are absolutely knocking the characterization of Eggman out of the park. Honestly, as much as I love the comics, this is the better depiction of Eggman in my opinion. In both he is evil, but the fact that this opens with him performing relatable tasks like rolling out of bed and grabbing coffee make him even scarier. Like, this isn't some weird monster or supernatural creature. This is a man, a PERSON who is taking pleasure in watching the world burn.
I also should have mentioned the subtle shot of Sonic's shoes at the end. It is so clever and paints Sonic as not even being on Eggman's radar anymore, especially considering that canonically Sonic would already be infected by now. AHHHHH!!! I WANNA WRITE ANOTHER 5 PARAGRAPHS ON THIS MASTERPIECE BUT WORDS CAN'T DO IT JUSTICE!!
@@EndlessPiplupDude I am so sorry for not seeing this reply earlier (like, this is disturbingly late) but I appreciate this so much aaaah!! As someone who loves these comics (and Eggman as a villain) it’s so cool to see someone appreciate my work like this❤
@@LittleMissDopey I'm just glad you saw it. This kind of talent needs to be encouraged!! I can't wait to see what else will come out of your work!
I love how for most of it it’s pure greyscale and red! Gives me a sense of “dreary, hopeless, and bloody”
Eggman and Starlines synchronized tapdance is just too wonderful. It's a shame their combined efforts were bound to fall apart because of their clashing ideals, but seeing them like this just puts the biggest smile on my face. This animatic is fantastic and the effort poured into the project shows. The animatic is perfectly on beat with the music. It's just perfect.
Seeing them duke it out after everything that happened between them was pretty amazing though. Especially with how they write Eggman, that's like proper SA2 levels of evil genius as opposed to the more comedy focused character he became in modern games
Fantastic Eggman animatic!!
DUDE??? THIS IS SO GOOD?????????????? TOO GOOD FOR WORDS I AM BLOWN AWAY AND WILL NEVER RECOVER THAT IS HOW AMAZING THIS IS
The attention to detail in EVERY SINGLE FRAME is CHEFS KISS it's all so dang CLEAN
I LOVED the tap dance sequence, that was so smooth and the jumps over the holo-map were the PERFECT way to tie it off
Oooooo the holo map was hard but it was my favorite bit to animate! I’m so glad other people enjoy it eeeeee
(Also funny running into you here😏)
@@LittleMissDopey wdym by that?
REALLL
The sheer megamovie blockbuster edge this has makes my hair stand on edge, it builds so well, and there is so many great shots and pans in this!!! Very cinematic, I love the shadowy energy this has, it's very sinister.
Aaaaa thank you!! I was really gunning for that Disney-villain type energy so I’m glad that came across
I’m just a fan of electro swing, but this was an AMAZING animatic! Such impressive work and synchronization! You really elevated the song with your art 😊
Glad someone else can appreciate that electro swing is a hosted genre😤😤
But this isn’t electro swing? The song is kinda new wave and synthpop!
You’ve got a point there 😅
I like to listen to a version of this song in electro swing style (by Wolfgang Lohr, in case you wanna check it out 😉), so I mistook this version as electro swing.
Sounds great nonetheless!@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522
@@thesejokesarentfunnyyetthe9522 I say that because the song it’s based on is a jazz song, but maybe I’m wrong
@@LittleMissDopey oh no yeah! The original song itself is jazz and ragtime, but this version that you animated too is new wave and synthpop! Which… Actually is rather fitting to be honest? Taking an electronically based version of an older song and doing something new with it actually rather fits Eggman, so!!! You’re very genius for that!!!
An excellent visual representation of IDW's darkest arc (I hear it was a holdover idea from Archie), and I couldn't think of a better song as well.
Ohhh. That explains the darkness of the Metal Virus. Makes sense actually.
I do remember Archie having a big arc with a virus that turned people into badniks, and honestly that was almost scarier since (IIRC) it transformed them into a different person entirely, whereas the metal virus turns them into mindless zombies. With that said, I've been loving what IDW's doing with the series and I'm looking forward to more!
@@sykamoreva9803 I thought Archie was a slice-of-life!
@@spongeintheshoe I mean the Sonic comics by the Archie publishing company, which also publishes the Archie you're probably thinking of
This was INCREDIBLE! You really captured Eggman's flair, committing unspeakable atrocities with style. The tap dancing scene with Starline put a huge smile on my face.
I literally read the IDW comics for this arc. It was literally Sonic Zombies and while it was a little cringe at times, giving into that cringe and just enjoying what you're experiencing is a vital part of Sonic in my opinion. It was cool as fuck watching Eggman be on top of the world, and watching Sonic run himself ragged trying to prevent the metal virus from ending town after town, while also trying to keep his own infection at bay.
In my opinion zombie stories are made from their use of loss and self-sacrifice. Tangle sacrificing herself to keep the horde at bay to let everyone else escape, and Vector taking a bullet and containing the infected Charmy to let a helicarrier full of civilians fly away safely are two of the moments from this arc that are forever ingrained in my brain. Good to know that this arc is getting the love it deserves in the form of this amazing animatic. I'm subbing now.
I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS SINCE DAY ONE AND LOVED WIP AFTER WIP. This is just amazing like- words can not express how much talent was put into this, with time, and effort. 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞 Amazing.
Agh, thank you so much for keeping up with the whole process! It means so much to me that people are invested and interested in what I have to make❤
Much love! I’m glad you enjoyed
Thing is Eggman and Starline would have actually won if they didn’t request the services of the Deadly Six.
THIS😤😤 (also if they had bothered to engineer a vaccine)
What's this 'they' business? Starline got the deadly six involved himself, but he only did that because the virus mutated so much eggman couldn't control the zombots anymore but he still decided to keep going with the plan.
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 Yeah, but Starline was still acting under/alongside Eggman.
Sign ME up for the Eggman Empire! WOOOO!!!! This song was too perfect and the tap dancing with Eggman’s giant boots works just too well!
I’m so mad I only just found this it literally had me smiling all the way through. So beautifully crafted and full of sinister fun, perfect for an Eggman animatic. I think I actually screamed when both Starline and the Deadly Six showed up I love how you draw them all
Comments like this are what I live for! I love seeing your guys’ reactions to my silly little drawings haha. Thank you!
Man this makes me wish IDW had a tv series, similar to how archie comics got sonic satam in a way.
Granted we have Sonic Prime which is similar, but the metal virus arc is unmatched!
STILL waiting on a metal virus adaptation (because that would be so endlessly cool)
This is just STRAIGHT fire. I cannot with Eggman and Starline dancing though thats so good 😭
I can't believe it's on CZcams, free to watch for everyone. I got a cinematic experience, I felt like I should've done something to deserve watching this, it's so frikin good.
😳Good Job 👏🏻
I do my best😌, thank you!
The metal virus arc is my favorite, just for one moment with metal sonic.
To keep it short, metal enters a lab where a small measuring cup sort of object holds the metal virus inside. Metal sonic reaches in, picking a bit of it up to test its effects on him. Then, it just slides off.
The meaning is metal thought he was the real sonic, the better one, the ultimate sonic. But he knew it only affected organic life forms, so he attempted to touch it, finding out he’s not real. He’s not the true sonic, he was the faker all along.
That issue actually made me cry bruh
You may like this "dub" of that version, as few voice lines as there are. Adrenaline Dubs does great work. /watch?v=lHT6BV0O5k0
Honestly, that just proves he’s not organic.
@@spongeintheshoe But it also proves he can't do something the "real" Sonic can. It's an impossibility, a highlighted difference that can't be surmounted.
He wants to be superior, sure. But he also wants to be the real deal.
I know that this is supposed to be serious but I just can't help but imagine metal sonic looking in the mirror and saying the iconic funny line of "I found you, Faker!"
i'm a little pissed this hasn't blown up yet, this was actually fantastic WOW!
IVE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE PROGRESS OF THIS AND IT CAME OUT INCREDIBLY
IT SCRATCHES SUCH A SPECIFIC PART OF MY BRAIN
THE TALENT?! [*consumes delicacy like a rabid animal*]
The username makes this comment infinitely better
SO HAPPY TO SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCT, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
3:12 I've never seen someone draw zazz like that, and I don't know whether to be afraid or feel something else.
Regardless though this video is amazing, definitely looking forward to more of your stuff
I consider this an absolute win.
I feel you, that Zomom actually carries a threatening aura. Miss Dopey's designs for the Zeti are pretty top notch.
Oh tumblr would have a field day with that image...
@@HinataChick38 I swear to god if zazz ends up becoming a tumblr you know what man because of this animatic, then I will be impressed, confused, and scared.
@@anonymousdude8184 well, if it helps, as someone on tumblr, I haven't seen any simp posts for Zazz, so we should be safe....for now.
god this is wonderful. its so obvious you put loads of care and time into it. i think my favorite detail is the shine on the umbrella as it rolls
I’ve been watching the clips on instagram and I’m so happy that’s in full now
"He's got the master plan"
...
...
...
I know what you did there.
Holy shit this is so good
I also love how the kinda 'old' feeling of the song really helps it fit this kind of situation for Eggman. As far as he knows, he might as well already have won. This slightly creepy but still upbeat song captures that perfectly
flow and pacing were fantastic. god the theming fit the comic so well. nothing felt out of character
Was not expecting to see a Puttin On The Ritz animatic, much less one for Sonic. I am pleasantly surprised! And the timing and choreography and ahhhhhh
Thank the CZcams algorithm for gifting me this charming and magnificent piece of art! I keep watching this because I can’t get enough of it, I’m not deeply knowing of Sonic lore but it doesn’t stop me from adoring every time I see Eggman because he is just superior villainous character and I love him dearly. This alone makes me want to get deep into Sonic lore.
THE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY IS INSANE. Eggman stomping on sonic, The news at the beginning, and timing. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
This goes so hard??????? You nailed Eggman’s energy SO well, and the song choice is so calmly ominous it’s genuinely intimidating. The animatic is really well put together and the animation is smooth, love how well everything synced with the music. Excellent video. :)
I think it's not just matching the timing of the song with actions that makes this a great piece of work, instead it's WHAT those actions are that make it fit so well. The tap dancing section is the obvious one, but my favorite for tone-wise between the song and the on screen actions/story is the hallway section where the bots are jumping out before Robotnik silences them. It's inline with the tone of the song action-wise, the music lines up with the actions on screen for each major beat, and finally it also shows the character of Robotnik and fits with his character perfectly.
Great work!
THIS IS SO GOOD HOLY HELL, the way you capture the characters energy and personality in everh frame is just *chefs kiss*
And its also amazing that while yes, eggman is a relatively goofy villain. This video manages to capture his more cunning and genuinely evil side, he is a VILLAIN after all. And its nice to see that side of the doctor.
And not just eggman is portrayed well. I am in LOVE with how Dr. Starline is animated, he radiates the exact same energy in the comics, where he follows the doctors command, even EXCEEDING that to take things into his own hands to make sure the plan goes smoothly. And need i mention the tap segment? Easily my favorite part of the animation ITS JUST TIMED SO WELL
And the news part at the beginning, it is CHILLING. Truly showcasing how dark the metal virus arc truly was.
Omg thank you so much!! Comments like this make all the effort worth it, and I’m glad people love this goofy little animation as much as I did drawing it! I myself am a huge fan of the doctor and metal virus arc so as soon as I heard this sinister song I knew I had to make something of it.
HOLY CRAP! THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!
This has got to be one of the best animatics I've ever seen in my entire life
🔥🔥🔥
Damn, this is awesome I love the Metal Vruis arc. tremendous job on the animation, also I love the song choice 😁
Yooo I like ur artstyle Ö
I love how a comic arc that fucked me up for a week is now something i can consume and enjoy content relating to. Excellent work tho, this is genuinely one of the best sonic animatics I've seen in a very long time. The fact this was a school project is even more impressive imo
eggman seems like the guy to tapdance to the demise of his enemies. this animatic is wonderful!!
I love how you really capture how the character of IDW eggman, i felt that he was the perfect combo between the satam robotnik and the modern eggman.
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!it's so perfect for the metal virus you did so good at capturing the energy and the power that they felt during most of this arc I HAVE WATCHED THIS AT LEAST TEN TIMES!!!!
Eeeeee! I’m so glad you like it! I adore this arc and I’ve been wanting to pay tribute to it for a while, definitely my favorite Sonic IDW story
IM SO HAPPY THIS IS FINALLY OUT, ITS AMAZING!!
Eggman and Starlines synchronized tapdance is just wonderful. Seeing them like this just puts the biggest smile on my face. This animatic is fantastic and so is the effort poured into the project shows. The animatic is perfectly on beat with the music. It's just perfect and ✨sassy✨.
The story deserves a movie, but this is a good start.
This is so MINDBLOWINGLY *FANTASTIC!* The movements, the way you draw the characters, everything is just PERFECT! You are so talented and I hope you never stop making these because oh my GOD they are GOOD.
I’ve never really been that big of a Sonic fan, but Robotnick’s energy and dramatic flair has always been great to see and this captures it perfectly.
Amazing animatic! Especially the start of the video! Very creative!
Good job!
robotnik is really someone to put their brand on EVERYTHING
This is SUCH a great animatic! I really enjoyed the tap dancing part!
I WAITED THIS FOR SO LONG AND NOW I AM SOOOOOOOOO FUCKING *AMAZED* BY THIS!!!!! GOOD WORK!!!
Bro I love Puttin’ on the Ritz, it’s so underrated, and this version is epic
This is so cool. Best arc
now this is something i would have never thought of in 100 years, but it morbidly fits the metal virus arc. Amazing animatic! Good work mate!
This speaks to my life long love of villains: Elegant, stylish masterminds! Eggman and Starline deserved this spotlight. The illustration and choreography is outstanding! This deserves all the praise it's gotten twice over
As a fellow villain fan I appreciate this comment😤😤
I don't even go here but HOLY FRICK. The part where the elevator contraption is dressing him, the robots saluting on the metallic-sounding "super-duper," the way they side-slide as he walks past them, the littler robots showing him the holographic newspapers about the whole thing (and then one giving the other a top hat and bow tie and spats that disappear as eggman passes through and he just deflates), the part with the virus taking over that guy, the freaking TAP-DANCE, and how does the whole thing manage to be so MENACING, I've had this song stuck in my head for like two days because of this animatic it goes SO HARD holy heck gdfhsgilresiuglb 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Half crazy goofball, half true mad genius, absolutely destroying everything on its path, making his actions speak in his name = PERFECT EGGMAN
silently screaming at how good this is OH MY GOD
STARLINE IS SOOOOOO PRETTY AAAA
Why is this so underrated? This is legitimately one of the best animatics I've ever seen! So cool and well done and clean! It really felt like a film, not an animatic! Please be very proud of yourself!
Now this is the good stuff
One of my favorite things about this animatic (though it's very hard to choose) is that Sonic appears only once. Many animatics about villains focus on their efforts to beat the hero, only to be beaten in the end of the video. But instead, we only see Sonic once, and not even his face. Just his leg, as he watches people get attacked and infected, and until backup arrives, he's helpless to stop it. All we see of his face is the projections Eggman destroys.
_He's burnt it all down, and he's dancing on the ashes._
Bro made actual poetry omg👏👏 (but jokes aside this comment is fucking awesome thank you)
@@LittleMissDopey ahdhhd i wish i could take credit for the poetry, it's fully a quote from the comics lmao. But no problem!
Oh he *burned it alright*
Soar cameo!!!! Any Sonic Boom representation always fills me with joy! This whole video is so fantastic, you are quite talented!
The setup in the beginning was perfect.
okay, if you havent already, post this on every media platform ever! This need to BLOW TF UP!!!
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE COOLEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN- It absolutely needs more views
This is incredible, I like the detail for just being outlines on a grey background with some red
IVE WAITED FOR THIS SO FUKCING LONG I CANT SOTP WATCHING HOW HAS IT FINALY ARRIVED??!??!?!?! IM GOGN INSNE
VERY GOOD!!!!!! THE TIMEING THE MONOCROM COLORS WITH THE RED AND- it so goooood, great job!
Legitimately one of my favorite things to watch on youtube atm. I don't know much about sonic and far less about the archie comics, but the way you framed all of this and portrayed the characters is just so fun to watch and very smooth!! Good job!
Archie has been canceled for over seven years now. IDW has been running a new series for six.
@@armoredturtle1302 As I said I don't know anything about the comics-- I just like the way this animatic likes and I've only ever heard of the Archie ones, I'm not really in the fandom or anything
God this is a month late but Eggman & Starlines little tap dance is so cute!
Great animation & great animatic! I don't see many animations made about Eggman, so this was a pleasure to watch!
I wasn't expecting Eggman and Starline to tap-dance. That was phenomenal!
this is great! loved the dancing scene!
I like this, reminds that eggman is not just a goofy guy making robots. He's a goddamn menace that can destroy worlds if he just wants to.
A friend of mine was showing me this, and I have to say it's just marvelous. I love the choreography on display, and your Mobian designs are just top notch too
This is so damn cool, and I can't believe it is only sitting on 42k views currently. Definitely subscribing to see whatever future content you make, as this animatic just has so much personality and charm.
This would probably make a good series or film opening, getting the audience prepared for the rest of this wild ride.
This was so cleverly done! This could've easily have come off as cringe or overly edgy like so many sonic fan animations or hell even canon Sonic media in general, tend to do. They want to play it 100% seriously, which loses the fun and feel of the Sonic universe, but you adding cute little things like the tap dancing, the "best boss" mug, as well as the robot arms grooming him in the elevator 😄. All still keep it within the wacky world of Sonic, while still maintaining a threatening and badass atmosphere! Very awesome job!
Thank you so much! I was going for a campy disney villain vibe with this one so I’m really glad that came across. I love when people notice the little details like that, makes doing this stuff worthwhile
i never knew i wanted to see eggman tap dance today, aside from that you really made eggman look like an evil emperor in this nice job!
fun fact: in the old sonic cartoons, specifically sonic underground, robotnik actually hated music to the point where he made it illegal when he took over mobius
I have watched this so many times, its so very good :)
the colours, the style, the little details, the animation, the song choice, the vibes, the expressions: chef's kiss
10/10
The exaggerated swagger of this mad doctor is astounding
You earned my subscription when Dr. Starline started dancing with Eggman.
IT'S SO GOOD IM LITERALLY SPEECHLESS WOAH WOAHHHHH!!!!
GIRLLLLLL THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD. here before one million views omfg
I love the tapdance part so much!
THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT. GENIUS. OUTSTANDING. AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. No seriously I am blown away.
this is amazing and ive rewatched it many times, one minor detail that you forgot tho is the spurs on the heels starlines boots ! ! its a really cool detail because it refrences platypus's venomous spurs on their hind legs. not to mention the lack of webbing on his gloves. its a teeny tiny detail tho, this animatic is absolutely stellar
I'm out of the loop on Sonic lore but just let me tell you I LOVE that evil duck guy whoever he is
He’s Dr. Starline, this animation is based out of the IDW comics
CHRIST THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONIC ANIMATIONS IVE EVER SEEN. START TO FINISH. I COMEND YOU MY FRIEND EXCELLENT JOB ❤❤
AMAZING!
OUGHH I JUST FOUND THIS THROUGH INSTAGRAM REELS AND IT IS SO GOOD. Metal Virus arc my beloved
HOW CAN THIS DUDE I ALMOST ALLWAYS SAW PROTAYED AS A CLOWN
BE
SO
FUCKING
MENACING?!
Eggman and Starline tap dancing near the end? Perfection.
ABSOLUTELY S TIER INCREDIBLE AMAZINGGG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!
Wow, now this is how I always imagined Robotnik. What an excellent piece. Thank you for making this!
Taco would be so proud
THE LITTLE TAPDANCE IS EVERYTHING TO ME
Not sure why Ian Flynn the writer of this Arc didnt add a scene like this for sure as it would have been even more terrifying as he has a knack for writing scary and horror filled moments back in Archie and currently IDW. Well the beginning part anyway. :)
