That's insane... :o and very entertaining. Great work!
:iconstamps:
Cool! Did you have to use a soft skin technique to animate this?
:iconjoshpurple-gassy:
Thank You Stamps! :w00t:

Yup! You got it :D I created the 3D model in 3ds Max, then I created the rig using the CAT plugin, and then I applied the Skin modifier to the model to bind/skin it to the rig.
:iconstamps:
Wow, that sounds like a LOT of work. But, the result looks excellent! :clap:
:iconbenji-ninja:
Oh wow!

You've definitely improved heaps in your absence.

OH MY GOD, I almost gasped when I saw your name under the deviation in my message box! I was all like; "OH MY GOD, HE HAS RETURNED!! O:"

Anyway;
I love the texture and lighting in this, the shadows, and the clean smooth movements. Its amazing! Even the background, tho blurred, it still loooks good.
There is something about this animation that makes it so hypnotising and hard to look away from. Maybe, its the movements, I don't know. But I can't take my eyes away from it. XD

Awsome job! Thumbs up! c:
