After seeing the Kickstarter for Hyper Light Drifter (and loving everything about it) I couldn't resist and had to animate something related to it.
This is my fan clip:
The main inspiration was this picture:
The flash speed run is also really neat, which I tried to replicate as closely as possible:
This is technically only the first half of what I wanted to do, but now I'm not sure if I will continue. As always, finding the time is tricky and I kinda like how it ends now. I started with the continuation, which you can see at the end of the last shot:
Regarding the music, the Kickstarter says that Disasterpeace will be doing the music for it so I was trying to find a track of his that would fit tempo wise. The track I chose is "Prologue" from "Rise of the Obsidian Interstellar".
Other than, the Drifter is a modified Norman, the spiders are modified Spiderbots.
Animation was all done in Maya, using one day for modding and planing and one day for animation.
I think that's about it!

Regarding the cape: it's a separate piece of geometry that I skinned to a few joints and the movement is keyframed:
The skirt is another separate piece of geometry that I wrapped deformed around the thighs.
As for a playblast, it's what you see in the above animated gif. The lamberts are set with incandescence all the way up.

And I wanted to incorporate this set, which also has the spiders, and the little puff clouds when he runs, all seen here:
