Is... is it up? Is it really, really up? It is?! This is real life, right?... OKAY!
Wrote a super long description, explaining the long delay, but too long for YT! :(
This is two projects wrapped into one!
I suppose 'both' of these are (one out of many) "Flash Revival Projects", all the way back from roughly 2010 +/- ...and I have so many more of these on my plate!!!
First one being a parody of "JEFFERY DALLAS - Waffles". Original sketch here:
(Because the main protagonist in Tail Concerto is named Waffle, for the curious)
Plus, we got 3 characters fighting over "Waffle" and the "Black Cats Gang/Pris Sisters" are also a trio, so... it's almost too perfect!
Personally... the conversation (though slightly altered) gets weird, if you try to think about it. Why 'Waffle' is suddenly represented in small stuffed plush toys, I do not know. But they do seem to be a valuable commodity among the sisters! Try not to dwell on it...
Oh, and the "Police Unit" in the background is Panta, basically the Scrappy Doo of the game, being in the right place, at the wrong time, ambushing the protagonist (Waffle) with no following consequence (all bark, no bite), hence, completely ignoring his noisy presence.
I apologize for Alicia's... bounciness. However!:
① Breasts DO bounce in real life. It's simple, basic physics and Newton's Law of Motion.
② Even within the actual game, with her choice of clothing and posture, Alicia seems to be quite "showy" and confident with her ridiculously 'perfectly-spherical' bust, so it's kind of a play and exaggeration of that. (not even all that much exaggerated though).
The second idea... well, first off, the idea got a massive overhaul, after I got a hold of TVPaint Animation (the program I use to Animate with, for those who keep asking. But this description is too long AGAIN, so people will be asking ANYWAY). Originally, I was just going to make a light parody from the in-game cut-scene where the the villain of the game steals Alicia's pendant to awaken a massive weapon, just showing frames from the cut-scene itself, playing over the tune I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts by Freddy Martin and... that's about it. (How boring!) With this new arsenal at my disposal, I decided to animate it from scratch and catch a moment to add some unique animation to the mix (that frame-by-frame 360 degree spin and pan-up was challenging but fun!)
Due delay(s) I DID have to rush parts, but I'm still fairly proud of this result.
What's with me, making all these animations of games I never played?! haha.
Somehow, I predict that this will probably, sadly be one of my least viewed videos for being of such an obscure franchise, although it had its slight comeback with Solatorobo a few years back; a game I should've been more likely to try out for "hitting so close to home".

Animation by Daniel Renard
Despite the initial lines of the project were etched from imagination, into data through my screen over the span of more than a year ago...
Despite it being a revived project from 2010...
Despite the difficulty... despite the unexpected hardships and dataloss.. unreliable sources of aid... Despite time, effort and even money spent... Despite internal conflict... all of the characters, the composed music as well as the original skit, is property of their respective owners and companies and I, Daniel Renard [/salute], LOVE animation:
This. Video. Is. Not. Monetized.

So, are we all having fun~? Are we all having a good time~? I hope so. That's the sole purpose of my channel; to make animations I've wanted to create for a very long time, but been unable to, with the lack of proper software. Then show my work to the world to brighten peoples day, bring laughter and smiles.
I really wish I could make these faster than I currently am, however, despite my wings are extended, my engines are at full throttle, leaving a blazing trail behind me, my nozzle is digging into the ground, plowing a trench through the runway and the point of error is clearer than a perfect metastable allotrope of carbon.
Next time, we're most likely not going to be having as much fun; A bit of a heads-up to those who come here to have a merry time, I'll momentarily lower the fun and get serious to tell a story, before succumbing to its humdrum circumstances.
