I’ve been watching Wuxia and Kung Fu films lately, and these are some scenes inspired by them.



Count Blockula (aka Mike Crowley) made this totally awesome jetpack. Well, its wicked cool. So I stole the design and then had inspiration for this vignette.

Usually my vignettes take scenes from movies. Every now and then I make one that uses a basic plot idea and expands on it. The idea for this vignette is that the ‘hero’ is narrowly escaping capture by Death Squad Troopers.

But the question is: Is he really a hero, or a true criminal?

Also, thanks to Golden Shpleem for bringing the rocketpack to my attention.

Hey Lenster,

I already commented over on C-C on the kung fu, but just saw this with the space themed one as well. Great application of Mike’s jetpack design. I love the way he’s crashing through the ceiling. BTW, had you seen Moko’s recent Jango Fett?

Thanks. That was a 2ndary thought that I think adds that extra bit of detail to the scene. My favorite thing about vignettes is the ability to add in ever detail that pops in your head.

YES Bruce!! I did!! ;o)

Hey Lenny, I really like these a lot. The exhaust from the Jetpack, the roof breaking open, all really cool designs that are well executed. Nice choice of heads on the kicking vignette. Perhaps the addition of a turntable under the kicker is in order? Making it one os those anivigs or whatever.... I enjoyed these, thanks for showing them off.
