Description
"The core principle of freedom, is the only notion to obey"Gateways, by Dimmu Borgir
This song I hear when I imagine this scene:
Metal version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrzU_O… (from 0.17 - 0.45
Orchestral version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ufVyY… (from: 0.47 - 1.17)
My white Norwegian siderian Stian (official name: Stygian Stígandr Sætensen) fighting his way to his 'paradise'...where he's free from the species that has filled his heart with hate, fear and revenge - meaning our species.
See here more about him and his background:
Siderians are horse-sized felines with some metaphysical powers. They are a hybrid between a Siamese cat, tiger and a lynx. However Stian looks mostly like a Siamese-tiger hybrid.
So siderians are CATS and NOT WOLVES/DOGS ...sorry but it still seems necessary - which I simply can't believe
About the animation - I have used Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2.
It's a 10 frames of Stian running in left-leading-rotary gallop (the left front leg comes as last on the ground and is therefore the leading one - yes Stian is left-handed).
These are the references I have used:
* A hunting tigress in rotary gallop; main reference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXvxCv… (at 3.00)
*A tiger in left lead transverse gallop- but useful for the hair www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnZcAJ…
* Thoroughbred horse for the movement of the hair: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDAUv…
* Slow motion of a running cat - mainly for the tail which stays remarkably constant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYom2w…

Oh My GOD! That's the most awesome, epic, beautiful and gorgeous animation I ever saw! I love Stian and he looks so majestic when he's running! It must have taken years to do that!

Do you offer commissions? If you do, I would be more than interested in one like this, <3

Animations would cost pretty much I think, because it takes a looooot of time...

Same here! I still can really gaze at him O.O - but I think I found a more lionking like style which is really efficient so I might be able to make more quick animations and drop them on youtube. After finishing chapter 1 of ToM Ill maybe make a more or less animated version of it.
