Zexal, my good friend! It was an honor sparring with you. :) Your character was fun to animate. Frankly, I may have not depicted his personality and abilities accurately... I really wanted to build on what I learned from RHG#10; that one ended up feeling a bit too much like a ‘GildedGuy plot’, lol (this one probably did too, especially with the illusion part, but whatever). To address the elephant in the room: I'm very sorry for taking a long time to release the RHG, Zexal. You have every right to be annoyed, so I hope this can make up for it somehow. Regardless, I'm aware you'll be leaving Scratch soon. I can relate to your frustration yet amazement at seeing others surpass you. There were times I wished I’d pushed myself more with my stick animations too. Like this one for instance... But that doesn’t mean we’ll forget you, Zexal. How could anyone forget the iconic red stickman with the fedora (if that’s what the hat is called) and the signature coin? I won't. Thank you for being a cool friend, and for trying to help me with my over‑apologizing habit. :) I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. - space
@Slow-Animator for that much-needed burst of motivation to flesh out RHG#11 to the best of my ability. --- Turbowarp link: https://turbowarp.org/734024175 --- Song: Heart Afire by Defqwop (ft. Strix) --- Personal Note: This time, I focused more on the choreography than the narrative. It kind of worked. I’d give this animation a 6/10, mainly because many parts aren’t fully animated.. A five minute animation that's mediocre. Disappointing, I know. :') --- Reference: - "Practice sword spear fight" by LentoFrame - My goobly gob imagination - Cool animations made by fellow Stick Temple members while working on this RHG --- RHGs featured: - Zexal, @ZexalAnimations - Wren, @spacepanda901 --- Work Duration: - Oct 24, 2025 to (paused due to in-real-life events) - Mar 3, 2026 to Aug 23, 2026
