Artist @Empty Emp created over 30 mma sprites which I have brought to life in "Kastle Khabib"

I will leave out the identities of each character, as Empty Emp will be sharing his sprites with spoiler tags so you can guess who is who. Anyone who spots a genuine error in the animation will have their forum name "etched" into the updated version. First 4 get on a Gargoyle nameplate :)

I hope sherdog has questions!! (and click image to view full size)

I began the project on the the 27th of August and worked almost exclusively on it till "today" on the 2nd October when I finally judged it to be error-free. It contained over 700 frames which became the final 48 you see, and Empty Emp made extra sprites on request too which helped me to knit the concepts together.

Converting it to GIF did affect the final render, but that was a key part of the challenge for me and I was happy with the result give or take the odd issue. To also get it under 2mb was fantastic. I am definitely relieved it's over because I had to create pretty much everything but the people from scratch, which I edited and animated in a lot of cases too.

It's extremely time consuming :)
 
Great work again! I'll ask my questions later so I don't ruin the fun for the three people that might happen to accidentally stumble into the MMA P&M forum, but :( at Kimbo.

I like these so much, and thanks for the extras you made too they really helped.
 
Here's what I'm seeing in each room:

- Nate throwing ninja stars at a Conor dummy
- Khabib praying to a BJ statue and either eating eagles or doing a magic trick with eagles
- Conor standing on a stability ball and playing touchbutt with upside down Ido Portal
- Nick getting high
- GSP swimming (I feel like there's an obvious reference that I'm missing here)
- DC doing his cake and chicken dance (What's with the cake though?)
- Mighty Mouse drinking iced tea with bigger head/ears Mighy Mouse who's eating a wedge of cheese?
- Jose Aldo getting ready to hang himself (that's pretty dark dude...)
- Faber hanging upside down to try to make himself as tall as Conor
- Ronda training with Edmond (I like that you made Ronda fatter)
- Cyborg with a massive robot erection
- Joanna as Gollum
- Cody passing out after touching a giant green crayon(You already explained this one and I was dead wrong)
- Cruz working as a Fox analyst
- Someone watching TV where KO'd Bisping is the star of every show/movie
- Jones in a chicken coop practicing his eye pokes on a pregnant lady
- Viagra Matrix Anderson deciding whether to take the red or blue pill
- Stipe sleeping in either a fire truck or a bed shaped like a fire truck
- Sage doing flips (I don't understand the tiny castle in front of him)
- Sakuraba as some sort of cyborg scorpion killing Royce in a futuristic death match
- Zombie Leben feasting on the brains of Wand clones
- Don Frye shooting a gun while invisible Ken sneaks up behind him and shoots him with lasers (maybe a reference to some movie I've never seen)
- I don't know what JDS is doing or what it has to do with sushi or any of those words
- Roy eating JDS's sushi
- Hendo using a walker to get back to his rocking chair after using the toilet
- Vitor sucking toes (I'm disturbed that Ronda head is behind the shower curtain)
- Brock statue in front of the entrance
- The Nogs waiting to feed a bus
- Kimbo's funeral :(

Answers for @Empty Emp
Here's what I'm seeing in each room:

- Nate throwing ninja stars at a Conor dummy
Throwing spinning shit

- Khabib praying to a BJ statue and either eating eagles or doing a magic trick with eagles
Two of the eagles are hiding in his headdress

- Conor standing on a stability ball and playing touchbutt with upside down Ido Portal
yup and the glass cabinet contains the soul of Jose Aldo

- Nick getting high
...at home.

- GSP swimming (I feel like there's an obvious reference that I'm missing here)
My first design had GSP swimming in a giant jar of vaseline with the label partially covered over with the sign. I just changed the concept to something more realistic.

- DC doing his cake and chicken dance (What's with the cake though?)
the large one doesn't look like cake? I tried to recreate it from the straight on perspective

- Mighty Mouse drinking iced tea with bigger head/ears Mighy Mouse who's eating a wedge of cheese?
Its milkshake not iced tea, but any drink with a straw works. Really the drink is there so that the human mighty mouse can hold the trap in place conspicuously, and the cheese is to tempt the mutated clone mighty mouse.

- Jose Aldo getting ready to hang himself (that's pretty dark dude...)
It's the hanging scene from Shawshank Redemption

- Faber hanging upside down to try to make himself as tall as Conor
Yup, and Conor is a cardboard cutout in that room. The blood rushing to his head and draining was one of the areas that suffered most when I converted it to a gif, but still works ok I guess.

- Ronda training with Edmond (I like that you made Ronda fatter)
yeah she needed fattening up a bit. The punch sequence was supposed to look good then degenerate horrifically, and Edmond is NOT actually in the ring btw or even in the room

- Cyborg with a massive robot erection
hahahaha I forgot I'd given her a dong, it's a cannon aimed at Ronda and Rogan pops up to block the possible shot. the other male Cyborg is also in there

- Joanna as Gollum
yup, with her one belt to rule them all

- Cody passing out after touching a giant green crayon(You already explained this one and I was dead wrong)
lmao awesome idea though

- Cruz working as a Fox analyst
Yup, and you can barely tell, but he only talks when the camera's red lights switch to green

- Someone watching TV where KO'd Bisping is the star of every show/movie
I used the same hand from the Bisping template, and just added a remote control I made. Bisping's whole body IS on the sofa but you just can't see him.

- Jones in a chicken coup practicing his eye pokes on a pregnant lady
ditto

- Viagra Matrix Anderson deciding whether to take the red or blue pill
yup

- Stipe sleeping in either a fire truck or a bed shaped like a fire truck
yeah it's a bed shaped like a Firetruck, I think the zzzzzz's look ok but didn't bother researching the best way to do em

- Sage doing flips (I don't understand the tiny castle in front of him)
The play-castle is just to highlight how young he is or was when he was filling that room with trophies. Presuming you've seen the photograph of his collection?

- Sakuraba as some sort of cyborg scorpion killing Royce in a futuristic death match
yup and I made the crowd out of your sprites too and then warped it to animate

- Zombie Leben feasting on the brains of Wand clones
yup

- Don Frye shooting a gun while invisible Ken sneaks up behind him and shoots him with lasers (maybe a reference to some movie I've never seen)
Don "The Predator" Frye .... should be able to guess the movie now and he's only manning the gun in case of a clone incident, there is a glass screen between the clones and Frye, with his gun aimed through a window in the middle.

- I don't know what JDS is doing or what it has to do with sushi or any of those words
- Roy eating JDS's sushi
JDS is just the seriously bored machine operator and the sushi types are all the names of pussy described in a legendary scene from the movie "From Dusk till Dawn"
- Hendo using a walker to get back to his rocking chair after using the toilet
He's staring at the blood and shit he left on his hemorrhoid ring after leaving the tap running

- Vitor sucking toes (I'm disturbed that Ronda head is behind the shower curtain)
haha I didn't have many female heads to work with but I made a few changes to it. It's supposed to be that Prado chick he married? I've only ever seen the gif not the full footage

- Brock statue in front of the entrance
yup

- The Nogs waiting to feed a bus
yup, the brazilian word on the sign-bus means carrot too, and I added a racing donkey for extra randomness

- Kimbo's funeral :(
I spent a lot of time on the stained glass dove and his coffin etc ... I think I did a respectful enough job to get away with the penis humour
 
You should apply to be an animator for a video game company, seriously! Get pay for your talent!
 
here are some screenshots of aborted sections

Don't be surprised, it's amazing. How long did it take?

Brilliant job on the sprites @Empty Emp.
under the animation is a spoiler containing additional notes

I began the project on the the 27th of August and worked almost exclusively on it till "today" on the 2nd October when I finally judged it to be error-free. It contained over 700 frames which became the final 48 you see, and Empty Emp made extra sprites on request too which helped me to knit the concepts together.

Converting it to GIF did affect the final render, but that was a key part of the challenge for me and I was happy with the result give or take the odd issue. To also get it under 2mb was fantastic. I am definitely relieved it's over because I had to create pretty much everything but the people from scratch, which I edited and animated in a lot of cases too.

It's extremely time consuming :)

There are only a few objects I can see that I didn't design from scratch and that's the shadfaces which got destroyed when converting to gif anyway, the baby eagles and Joanna's UFC belt, which was so messy when I resized it it ended up getting rebuilt anyway
 
you guys noticed Nate Diaz giving the finger right? :D

just been watching all the animations, and the only one that really suffered was the Faber section. The fading effect of blood rushing to his head and draining again was perfect in the frames, but there just isn't that many shades available when it converts to 255 colours, resulting in that mess.

Also, the Fox studio that Cruz is in was actually built for Faber as a photo shoot or something... and then I realised it was perfect for Cruz. Happier with the Faber section I went with for sure.
