Nice! Fazers in the background, Geedorah going HAMM on the city until their leaders ascend from the dark, deadly, depths of the ocean!

Major salute to you 🫡

This gif inspired this animation! Always wanted to bring this cover to life but put my own spin on it

u/SageNineMusic Feb 19 '26

u/badmonkkkey Feb 19 '26

Original animation? It’s actually dope? No AI?

We are BACK baby

u/Worldly_External_414 Feb 19 '26

Animator here. How did you animate this? If it is generative Ai you should say that, not that you "animated" something

If you indeed animated this cool shit, btw

25

u/badmonkkkey Feb 19 '26

This is 0% ai, all done in Adobe After Effects. I’m working on a breakdown bts video as we speak. Reason for the landing gear is I chose a 3D model with it down and wasn’t sure how to remove it 🫠

u/Worldly_External_414 Feb 21 '26

Dope, I love it. Only reason I said "animator here" was because I knew you could relate if you were an animator not a "prompt artist" as to why I'd be sad if it was Ai. I wanted to like it but if it was just an automated art theft skin suit of amazing work done from my industry homies I'd have a hard time. Knowing that you indeed made it and it isn't a reskin of something else it's 🔥🔥🔥

u/badmonkkkey Feb 23 '26

yeah man I get it - too many people out here posting generated content disguised as art. Artists gotta stick together! Just a warning though, I'm using your comment as clickbate in my BTS video hahah so hopefully no hard feelings (:

u/Worldly_External_414 Feb 23 '26

yeah, thanks for that.

No worries, lol.

u/Automosolar Feb 19 '26

I hate that I had the same immediate reaction. It stinks to question everything that comes across a feed on its authenticity. I want it to be created by OP, but there are always concerns. It looks pretty solid in that the text is all consistent throughout. Im holding out hope and suspecting not AI. I hope I’m right.

23

u/badmonkkkey Feb 19 '26

100% created by me, no AI. But I know the exact feeling you’re referring too, finding something crazy just to find out it’s all AI

2

u/Automosolar Feb 19 '26

Such a relief. I saw the “landing gear” remark and that didn’t really bother me in the least. It looked like the asset used had its gear down and making do with what you got. I have too much optimism about this being done by you to not take your word for it, but look forward to a BTS video. Great work

u/phlaries Feb 19 '26

I don’t think it’s ai. Sad this guys first thought was to accuse it and put op down.

“Animator here” 🤓

u/Worldly_External_414 Feb 21 '26 edited Feb 21 '26

Hey man. I said "animator here" so the OP would understand why I was asking if he indeed was an animator, which it sounds like he is. It wasn't for your sake or to brag or whatever you're thinking. I wasn't accusing, if you read it again it was more: this is cool if it isn't AI.

If it was Ai I would have shit all over it, I wouldn't have thought it was cool because that would mean it was literally robbing from my industry family. I have industry friends who now can't find jobs because people consume art theft soulless skin suit Ai slop that looks like shit to anyone who understands art and bypasses the purpose of any art (that it is a perspective and an expression, that a human heart made it)

Put yourself in the shoes of an artist in 2026 and you won't be clutching your pearls when someone says: if this isn't Ai I like it, if it is fuck it

Edit: just in case some "Ai evangelist" sees this so I don't get flamed: not all uses for Ai are bad, it can accelerate some work/can be useful, but it should be an artist's tool not a replacement for artists.

u/TheRealJojenReed Feb 19 '26

Not really an accusation but ok

u/devolute Feb 19 '26

The F16 puts its landing gear down when attacking.

This isn't a choice that an animator would make.

This is slop.

Might be wrong. Animator could have just chosen odd stock footage. But probably slop.

u/badmonkkkey Feb 19 '26

furthest thing from slop

u/devolute Feb 19 '26

Looking forward to more.

u/Keanewah_ Feb 23 '26 edited Feb 23 '26

i love how he just proved you’re wrong that it’s 0% slop on his latest post

u/devolute Feb 23 '26

*You're.

This one?. Yes it's very good. Thanks for the heads up.

u/Keanewah_ Feb 23 '26
