I'm a 3d Animator and I'd like ideas!

Hi, I'm Large Leader and I'm a 3d Animator! I'm trying to get better by making tons of animations for fun and for mods as well and I'd love if you guys - the community - could give suggestions so I don't run out of ideas and stop running into the "I don't know what to make" anymore!

I'm also looking for critique for the stuff I've made - there's no reason to make these and not at least try to improve slightly from feedback.

Just for clarification: For most models, I'll most likely be using the generic Mannequin model used by Unreal Engine 4, mainly so there's something pretty to look at. Tried working on Ezreal and his face gave me nightmares.

Here's some stuff I've made in the past:

"What if Trynd got a Visual Upgrade" "What if Windwall wasn't Cancer?" - timing is pretty off for the ending of this one. Made a new idle for Shen and animated out how his Spirit Sword Hit 1 would possibly be like - took a bunch of cues from the current Shen animations Dante animation from a mod I was working on Second Dante animation

Assuming I don't forget this exists, I'll try to update the OP with any more animations I make using LoL models (or parts, such as the Mannequin with Trynd's sword).

Visual update for Dr. Mundo!

I'm assuming you mean modelwise? Although I personally don't see that many issues with how Mundo moves. But I'll take a look at it and gather some Incredible Hulk references.

You seem to be naturally very sword focused in your animation, so how about a change of pace.

Animate a Mage casting a spell. If you need a particular Mage, use Xerath. And just to make it extra spicy, assume it's for a new ability that's Beyond Ultimate.

Guilty as charged! The easiest models for me to grab in the past all had weapons of sorts. I did make some animations for Solid Snake some time ago, but... it was some time ago. I've been wanting to make something for Malzahar, so I guess this would be a great time to work on something. Thanks for your suggestion, I'll start getting the files together.

Urgot + Yorick: forbidden love.

Do I want an explanation?

Yorick spent his life digging, constantly searching for love, when his Noxian prince was above ground and in plain sight all along.

I don't get paid enough to do this

Double posting is most likely frowned upon, so I'm gonna delete my last message and replace it with this one.

Replying again because I've done some work. So the idea with this is something like Nami's Ult but instead it'd be channeled and have a Brand Q like explosion. I definitely want to remake his current normal skills tomorrow, though. I definitely want to polish this later.

Malzahar Ult Animation

I've also included my first "what if I was giving Malzahar a VU" with his first skill. My version of Call of the Void - Didn't add any cloth movement because I'm not sure if I want to keep as much of it as I currently have.

I was going for the whole idea of two portals being pulled open and it just so happened to be almost exactly what the original is.

Malefic Visions will probably be similar in the sense that it'll look close to the original as well, but I'm hoping to get something completely different with Void Swarm and Nether Grasp.
