My Deadlock Animations: "Hopping Into the Deadlock"

[Anomidae]

This is a small side animation project I made! I'm very excited about the game and saw lots of cool characters, so I just couldn't wait to animate them. These were animated by hand in SFM

EDIT 6/26/24: Completed!

(can't post these publicly so gonna post them all up here!)

The idea is basically cool intro sequences for the characters literally hopping into the game

here's each character individually

Let me know what you think! If I add more characters to this I'll post updates below. I can also post the dmx animation file if anyone wants

These are great animations! Saw them in Discord but never knew it was you all along! Can you please make a Lash with a really fancy awesome one? He's my favourite hero so far and I would love to see his character and mobility reflected in the animations!

Love these so much, you really captured how these characters feel to play in these animations and their abilities. Hope to see more!

Actually I did do lash! plus a few extras: Pocket, Mo n Krill, and Warden

Warden's is broken rn cause of wonky sfm keyframes but I'll fix it for the big final scene

Been seeing these when Deadlock discussion pops up, cool to see the origin.

THE BEST ANIMATIONS!

btw ur latest work at the Short Film Contest is the best, fr fr, it’s a pity that it didn’t take first place.

 

[xinata.xuga]

man, damn, you're the best

 

[francesco.mazzus]

Damn, those are really good, surprised you are not an animator for Valve. I can see them being added to the game in some sort of final outro cutscene like Overwatch.

These are incredible!
