[S] Rex Duodecim Angelus - Battle of the Black King
The trolls battle to the death with their 12x prototyped Black King in living color with honest-to-god-animation. This is it, the final fight; where shit gets real and nothing, not even breeding the universe frog, takes priority over kicking the ass of the entire dersite army and it’s behemoth of a leader.
39 months ago, the idea to animate this battle was born in the MSPA forums and against all odds, it steadily grew into the unadulterated masterpiece you see before you.This was a volunteer project with revolving door of artists and animators, who planned, storyboarded, created assets or short animations, organized and backgrounded. There was not a whole lot of stability during my time with the project. So I want to give a big shout out to our lead animator Takfloyd, who almost singlehandedly kept things moving forward for the last year and a half after the original crew faded away from the project; and the fantastic Elanor Pam, who likely created more art for this video than anyone else. Their relentless contributions kept us all motivated. (Also giving a little shoutout to BlackHolePA who was just so damned helpful all the time)
Homestucks, today is a good day to be proud of your fandom.

40 to 60 people contributed to this project over the last three years, check the wiki for a more complete idea of who did what.As a late 6/12 celebration, here’s a fanmade animation of a battle we all wished we saw more of, the trolls fighting their monster of a Black King!
It’s amazing to finally see this thing finished!
Here’s a link to the original thread with the original idea, by the way! In case anyone would like to know the roots of the project.
I almost can’t believe it’s already been a YEAR since this came out!
