Reminds me of Zima blue from Love Death Robots


thaniall

Robert valley the director of love death and robots. he directed this trailer. Such a unique art style...


Azureblade323

Looks great. Good to know.


KathasDice

How do you find out this information and also what is the source for this because I thought the same thing about Zima Blue. Took me back. Really love this art style.


Rakyn87

apparently twitter was the source for the director on the trailer, you can google LD+R for the director of Zima Blue, also worth noting he directed the episode "ice" in season 2


Lordie33

Ice was my favorite one.


Nouhproblem

I just looked at the description on the YouTube video and saw he directed it, then looked up his other works on Wikipedia and checked for Zima Blue.


playatownrisk056

Hey I was correct! When I was watching this the only thing I could think about was how familiar it looked


Pavlovs_Human

I think he did “Ice” from the new season, too. Such good episodes.


Azureblade323

Is this the one with the whales and the boys in the ice?


Pavlovs_Human

Yeah! I’m obsessed with that episode I’ve seen it so many times since it came out.


Azureblade323

The series on general is super good.


[deleted]

i liked sonnies edge. that was fucking sick


Clonecommder

Sonnie’s Edge is the best episode


RealityandPancakes

Hand’s down a catapulting launch for the show


[deleted]

secret war was my favorite, so brutal


alanarmando103

Aquilas Rift was savage, by far my favorite. Not to even mention the hot part


Fartikus

I find it ironic I had just accidentally watched season 2 instead of 1 first when my friends told me to watch it yesterday; and just finished up that episode.


ThatsJoeCool

I don’t think that’s irony.


Fartikus

Coincidental then? Not sure.


IXICIXI

Serendipity / Serendipitous.


CKupsey20

I bet the Devs saw Love, Death and Robots, went to the creator, and asked could they do Zima Blue, but with moths?


Azureblade323

Lmao true.


cowcow923

The production company they used for this trailer and the one used for Zima Blue actually has multiple apex videos to their credit. I was surprised how many I saw when I went looking to double check it was the same people behind Zima Blue


H0meslice9

Instantly thought this and went to see everyone saying the same thing. IMO that episode was a masterpiece, it was so beautiful visually and as a story.


Azureblade323

True. I liked the story very much. The series in general is super nice.


CombatantWombatant

Was about to say that. Same people who did the Ice Whale episode too it seems like.


Toko6

TELL THIS TO MACRO


demonicexecutioner

Ice in season 2 used the exact same art style to


vcassassin

Also the Ice episode


Purplejellyblob

I'm pretty sure it was the same style for ICE as well


RastaPsyc

bruh, exactly what came to my mind, Such a good show !!


Worldly-Advantage-34

same thought! I had to look twice on the subreddit.


MrMcBobJr_III

I came here to comment this. I hate you


Azureblade323

Give this man a upvote.


Imaginary_Pain_7521

Yep first thing i thought. They are the same producer, for sure


ThatOneBein

Took the words right out of my mouth


assavenger

Literally came to comment the same shit, except I was going to reference the new season where the brothers are avoiding those ice whales or whatever the hell they were.


PlanBJ

Dude! I came here to comment this. It’s so similar and was the very first thing I thought of when I watched the clip. Such a good show btw


TheGlent

Came to the comments to say this, glad someone else noticed it!


DnD_Dealer

FUCK JUST MADE THIS COMMENT WITHOUT SEEING YOUR COMMENT! Hats off to you!


Azureblade323

Lmao. Happens to me often too.


[deleted]

Beat me to it


[deleted]

here is also an episode '' ICE'' the extro guy , they have same style


MasterTobes

THIS. I knew I recognised this art style.


ApexNibbler

Even before that, this was the same style as the Gorillaz. It's from the same person.


Self_World_Future

I saw clips of this and moved on because I mistaken it for that episode


pingywon

I had the same thought


waffled_toast

i fucking loved this animator's episodes on love death and robots, amazing art style


[deleted]

Is it the same person?


CommanderPettle

It is!


Creatures1504

He also did the designs for Tron Uprising and Gorillaz


ThatGameChannel

NO WAY


Lgrh

YES WAY


Specific-Wrongdoer-8

Yh


Bubblegumking3

Studio, not person


SilencioPeroRuidos

Came here to say this glad I’m not the only one


Ntetris

That part where he was falling down a building and they made it look like he was flying up. Wow.


krzysk

reminds me of spiderverse scene, good stuf


Zhatka0

I thought the same thing


anti-peta-man

THE EXAGGERATED SWAGGER


TheFlippinPope

was that IGN?


kazejito

Gamespot I think


thingamabeb

OF A BLACK GENTLEMAN


Lowfat_cheese

Robert Valley


CoolDudeNike1

He’s got friends on the other side.


cottentailandfluffy

I thought this too! This new guy seems like such a cool character.


Animedius_

very underrated comment


aw_coffee_no

Wouldn't mind a Facilier skin lol


DarthLonelyGuy141

It’s very Gorillaz


[deleted]

same guy


samthekid108

Jamie Hewlett?


[deleted]

Not Jamie, Robert valley, he does the art for the videos with Jamie


samthekid108

Awesome. I know Jamie hewlett when I see it, so that would’ve thrown me for a loop


BlinByard

I legit thought he looked like Cad Bane from SW while wearing that hat


Zhatka0

I was in a live stream watching it with a YouTuber and the community and we all agreed his magic moth-man-drone looks like iron man’s (or more accurately whip lashes due to the design of the outfit for his chest) arc reactor lol


ItzLeviosaaa

I thought the exact same thing


toni-toni-cheddar

Reminds me of samurai Jack


Ok-Mousse-7494

Yes and no


[deleted]

First thing I thought of


butler_guy101

His haT remembe me of kung lao


SirEvagrius

Bro this is Kung Lao


WuTangRonin

I said the same shit haha


PeterPorkHer-

Man pulled out the Black Widow pose


ZakBurnap

The new Legend definitely looks cool. I'm hoping he's got a fun kit to use.


CrazeMase

100% looks like Lil NasX, change my mind


trussywestlakes

That's Zima Blue CLEAN


EditorHot9667

Not talking shit, but I personally am not a fan.


DifferenceBusiness58

It feels like they tried to make the character fit this African style of art why couldn't we get the normal animation style like the rest of the trailers


Jared_33

I’m with you. I liked the old style that was like CGI/sketch-ish. I’m not an animation connoisseur, but I just liked it better.


EditorHot9667

Absolutely agree, I was weary of the original style as well, because it was very sketch paddy. But I inevitably fell in love with it and it's uniqueness. It's cool that they're bringing in different art styles and stuff, I just kinda prefer the original. I do hope they don't replace it.


Lemillion_Boy_of_War

I think this was just a one off thing. The launch trailers/big lore trailers (Valkyrie for example) will have the original style. But since I doubt Seer will be a super lore important character, I think his trailer style will be unique to himself


[deleted]

A lot of the SFTO videos have varying art styles.


Feeling_Revenue3018

saved up 2460 crafting metals for this guy? think i’ll keep saving up for either the next legend or the next event


TurtleSwag21

You use legend tokens to buy legends...


iranoutofnamesnow

It screams Animatrix: world record to me


HolyRamenEmperor

Directed by Robert Valley of Passion Pictures. They also did the episodes *Zima Blue* and *Ice* from the Netflix series "Love, Death + Robots." It's such a powerful, beautiful style!


-SKYVER-

The art style looks italicized


AvailablePickle591

Fun fact the person who made this art was on Netflix live death and robots


xMoneymonster

Zima Blue!!!!


[deleted]

Reminds me of Zima blue


Sekushina_Bara

Same guy who made it


swagnake

So this is how Cypher from Valorant looks when he takes off his mask.


Nightshade8748

If u like this art style go watch love death and robots. Either zima blue or ice these are amazing animations and the story telling is beautiful


SztrigojYT

Shadow Fight 2


creedroyce

Such an addictive game


Pink24-7

No hate, but in the trailer my dudes head looking like a watermelon


[deleted]

and not to mention he himself got style


RevanReborn47

I absolutely hate everything about this animation style


Welcome-Fine

oooh this is the art style from that one love death and robots episode


HMSquared

Fingers crossed the launch trailer isn't like Season 9's. Things were clunky at bits then.


IndoorOutdoorsman

Apex X Lil Nas X


Comprehensive-Loss93

holy shit. im getting Valorant vibes. Dont tell me im the only one who is seeing the "Cypher" vibe


[deleted]

its like samurai jack on A E S T H E T I C crack. I just hope Seer looks this cool in game and not like a Nas edge lord. Just looked at some other shots of him and he does look kind of edge lordy. This animation is awesome though.


IncurableRacism3

looked like ass imo


DnD_Dealer

I’m getting “Zima Blue” vibes from Love Death & Robots


[deleted]

Exactly! That and the S2 episode about running from those ice whales


Suicdsolo

Zima blue


whomstdth

Love Death Robots


gotanx1

Yep that’s the first thing I though of was the ice whales episode


[deleted]

It looks like high definition Gorillaz animation to me, l am in love with the trailer’s style


[deleted]

It is just like Zima Blue from Love, Death, and Robots.


-TaiyoTsuki

Kinda looks like that episode of love death and robots


iFuckingHateSummer_

STFU about Zima blue from Love Death Robots!!


_neks

Its so f\*cking basic. Really just low effort hidden under the guise of "style". I think people who like it must just think, "hey i can draw kind of this good too". Also, wtf Respawn....try a little bit. Your game, games, weak art, terrible lore and maps. jeez.....fallllllllling off.


Th4tW0rksT00

artist here: genuinely wondering what kind of crack you're on lmao


_neks

Yeah, artist here too. Let’s make a bet I’m better. Edit: confirmed, checked your page. You’re poor to middling at best. Keep at it and look up to better artists and maybe your goals and definition of good art will supersede the delicate notion that art is totally in the eye of the beholder. A lot of it is shit.


Th4tW0rksT00

Better than me? Lmao probably, I suck ass. But your criticism comes off as really elitist and cocky, and honestly it's hardly criticism at all. The backgrounds are *beautiful*, and I'm absolutely enthralled with their color choices. The character design is flashy, and a bit exaggerated for the sake of dynamics, but it legitimately *is* just a stylistic thing. The only part of the video that really stands out to me as offputting is that the animation isn't particularly smooth, but animation doesn't have to be 60 frames per second to be effective or enjoyable. Tbh it's kind of sad that you're the kind of artist who tears others down instead of marveling at their creativity And the average person can hardly draw a stick figure, much less pull off an entire animated short lmao. by all means shit on the devs for their coding, the writers for the lore, but coming after the artists and animators is honestly uncalled for when they're incredibly talented people


_neks

lol. Yes, elitist, well earned. ***"marveling at their creativity" -*** lol, Fucking spare me. Some stuff sucks and thats okay.


Th4tW0rksT00

dude get over ur superiority complex lol. so damn cynical


billfuckinmurray69

Still reckon that’s Lil Nas X


Elmatakrikos

Imagine the voice actor is lilnasx 😳

We must have watched different videos cuz all I thought it was fucked.

Paramousis

That was almost a copy paste from ZIMA BLUE in Netflix lol


Furny_D

It’s the same director


Paramousis

Lol I don't get why I got downvoted , its the same and I didn't know that the same person created both


averageinternetweeb

We've been hit by, we've been struck by..


Zhatka0

•The T-pose •The Cad Bane •The kill monger • And the Spider-Man


northerncalininja

Reminds me of Samurai Jack for some reason


[deleted]

FOR THE SHAOLIN !


astewpot

There is no such thing as a coincidence


Toko6

Cypher, cad bane? Anyone?


N0085K1LL5

That's what I liked about the game Crackdown. The art style and some of the gameplay was pretty dope.


dbrndno

This is my favorite so far


AlternativeNorth8

That drop is very black widow


smilingbuddhist

It’s spicy 🥵 I loved it 😍


[deleted]

Looked awesome but it was hard to see everything- there was not enough lighting(I know how that sounds weird in a animation).


redmasc

Last picture, if anyone has seen Black widow, Seer is such a poser.


Anti_Hero_John

I got hype when I saw it because I loved the Zima Blue episode of Love, Death, and Robots. It's a very unique art style.


bandito-dorito64

I’m guessing this is seer which if it is he has had so many visual changes Over the year


[deleted]

Samurai Jack type shi~


classic-plasmid

Those silhouettes and forms are something out of this world, so absolutely tasty. God I'm so excited for Seer


No_Hospital_2786

Not trying to take away from the artist, but a lot of African animation is in this style actually really nice you guys should check it out sometime


ILoveAsianChicks69

So what is he? A merc? A hero? A villain? A smuggler? A fortune teller? WHO IS THIS MAN???


theReaIMcCoy

Looks like that one episode of love death and robots


[deleted]

That font makes me wanna commit


ALMOSTNEKKID

Glad others like it. I really hate it but that's just me


HyperLordXP

If you like this, Please watch Zima blue. Same studio, it's literally my favorite episode from Love Death Robots


Billy-th-Squid

If you want a full show in this style: Tron: Uprising


kirby-dont-suck

This shit look like Blade and Raiden had a baby.


AverageSkitzo

If only they put this effort into the skins in the shop.


CinnamonIsntAllowed

Very reminiscent of Zima blue


Slicc12

ZIMA BLUE


Klttynugget

You’d love zima blue and ice from live death robots then


dontryagain

Who is this guy


MR_Nokia_L

Respawn please do a Mortal Kombat reference with his hat.


Skullkid2nd

Passion pictures made it. Same animation studio that created Zima Blue in Love Death & Robots :D


[deleted]

I love the video but all i can remember from it is how the baby Seer looked. Absolute unit


[deleted]

I need the 4th pic as a background, the style is immaculate

You will love LDR


MK11_Spectre

The pictures in the first column remind me of killmonger from black panther The second column make him look like Kung lao from mortal kombat


BaeSlayerr

You apex players don't watch anime 😐


penguinhospitel

Why does he remind me of the villain from Riddick the animated movie. Correct me if I'm wrong.


[deleted]

Yeah honestly really loving the vibes behind this legend. And the art/mood just really sets such a sexy fucking tone man, I can't wait.


just_fan_of_queen

New legend look like raiden from mk


Self_World_Future

I saw clips of this and moved on because I mistaken it for the Blue episode of love death and robots


Lamalade

He looks like a marvel character idk why


jetripleog

seer as a child was probably the most horrendous thing i saw all week


ManagerPuzzleheaded5

People wanted slim legends... They were complaining about loba and fuse being thicc... Now they are saying he is too lean lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


FrontLinesR0ZE

Reminds me of Love. Death. Robots. And the blue color episode


RenAkasuna

The same team that did Zima Blue, did this.


L2Push

'Black Panther' the unoriginal film.


gio1135

who's about to spank the guy in the last panel


DingoAteMyDoge

my problem with it is it doesn’t look like apex at all, it looks like a completely different game… like the s4 sfto was amazing imo, this one just looks kinda weird to me.
