I have a lot of respect for one man teams. The amount of talent and patience required to produce something good by yourself is often big, and many people often lack one or the other (or worse, both), so many of their projects often end up broken, incomplete or lackluster.

Now here comes Monty Oum, and like a ninja that sneaks up from behind and cuts the throats of roving samurai patrols to expose fountains of blood, plops down one, two, three videos. It just literally blows CG sequences done by teams of artists out of the friggin’ water. In contrast to their team efforts in modeling, animation and rendering, this guy does it all by his sweet lonesome. And not through 3 minute shorts either. Mr. Oum’s work just outweighs the others big time when weighing the two relatively.

Haloid was his first publicized effort, and it was massively popular not only because of the fight scenes involving Samus Aran and a Spartan soldier from Halo, but also because of the gentle amount of fanservice he put in. Cheeky, but it worked.

Recently he just released the second part of his Dead Fantasy series, and as expected kicked up a lot of dust in the air.

As can be gathered from its name, Dead Fantasy involves two arguably successful video game franchises: Final Fantasy and Dead or Alive. Dead Fantasy itself is a couple of videos chronicling some very well choreographed fight scenes between girl characters from both series. Yes, it’s all made up. There is no such thing as a real game called Dead Fantasy that’s coming out. At least not yet.

Here’s round one for your reference:

And now the very point of this post, round 2:

Check out just how much well-proportioned ass is kicked in these two, and remember - one dude, and one dude only. I said WOW.

Seriously, somebody give this guy a job at Square or something already.
