Please crowdfund this cartoon. I would give early and often.
This animation captured the best aspects of 1960's Hanna-Barbera animation.
What I have always loved about this is how it strikes a tone that is full on Hanna-Barbera Saturday morning with VERY STRONG Heavy Metal (Mag and Movie) overtones. It's absolutely perfect. IMHO
Would love to see Nexus' story told like this. Love that Steve Rude art.
I haven't seen this in years and it's better than I remembered! I was one of the volunteers with did breakdowns and inbetweens, tried to animate a couple of shots, and even painted cels. What a crazy, wonderful time, that amazingly led me into a long career in animation. Thanks Steve, for being an inspiration to this day.
Nexus is one of the coolest comic book characters of all time and Steve Rude also happens to be one of the greatest comic artists of all time. With that being said, it never ceases to amaze me that whichever network or studio this pilot trailer was shown to decided to turn it down. Anyone whoâs ever read a Nexus comic knows that it screams to be turned into a full blown animated series. The universe that Nexus lives in is full of absolutely amazing and absurd characters, places, and events. I also love how Steve Rude was heavily inspired by the works of the legendary Alex Toth, more specifically his work on Space Ghost. Hopefully one day weâll get the Nexus animated series we all want to see.
Adult Swim shouldâve picked this up, it is so right up their alley.
I agree ...this needs to be crowdfunded ...
I'd give
So awesome! Brilliantly executed.
That's Pretty Awesome Steve. I hope that one day your dream of having it become a series will come true. Very cool that you were able to do that.
Gorgeous. Love the 1960s Jonny Quest feel here.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm learning more and more about the character Nexus, and I'm pleasantly surprised to have stumbled upon this video!!!
Still recall the first time watching this after getting the disc in the mail from Steve--blew me away then and still does to this day! âĪâðĨâĪâðĨâĪâðĨ
I remember trying so hard to find this show when I was a kid. ðĒ. Never did lol
Besides the obvious homage to classic adventure HB cartoons (Herculoids, Space Ghost) this one also has some Depatie-Freleng's Return to the Planet of the Apes vibes.
Wonderful. I want to see this and remember the wonder experience with cartoons from my childhood. And give new generations something contemporary to marvel at.
Awesome! Pure nostalgic action pack. Thanks, Steve.
What a fantastic effort Steve. This deserves more life. ðððððâĪïļâĪïļâĪïļâĪïļðŊ
This is amazing
Love the classic Hanna-Barbera vibe. Brings me right back to my childhood.
This is surprisingly wholesome... for a story about a space executioner.
I'm glad I still have my copy of Space Ghost by Rude
That's great! Thank you ð
Brilliant!
I think I got this on dvd some years back. Now I just need to find it ð
I love this!
This is incredible!
I still have a vhs copy of this from back in the day.
nailed the hannah barbara look. well done
this teaser still impresses the hell out of me all these years later
Excellent job ,Steve!ððŊðâĪïļð
Magnificent!!!
Hell yeah!! From Tucson!!!!
Wowzers !!
As a burgeoning wisp backinnaday...I took a chance on this unknown thaing, NEXUS, cuz it looked different
Heck, it was in black & white ! (Ages hisself, some)
Rode along with Horatio and The Hammer for quite a bit: you, Reuben Flagg, Judge Dredd and, eventually, some guy named Constantine were my only ever regulars when it came to comics...
Didn't know this 'toon with a Thune even existed til a moment ago and came running right here to see if might BE.
thanks for this: it's cooler than that kid who took that chance way back when could've ever hoped for !
Be seeing you
ÂĄEspectacular trabajo! Me impresiona la estÃĐtica que tiene, ademÃĄs de la fluidez de movimientos, y el uso del color.
Fantastic
This is Amazing!!!!ðŪðŪðŪðĪðĪðĪ
Love it!
Wow this is pure gold! Fantastic work Steve. BTW - thanks for the giant Gourmando book. Is there a chance to still purchase the newspaper strips version of gourmando? Have you still got it in your storage somewhere? I'd be very much up for it!
We do have a limited number in the online store: www.steverude.com/gourmando
The only thing i don't like about this is that we never got the full show! I love this - the Hanna Barbera vibes, the Dude's art style, the music... I wonder if Adult Swim would have picked it up... What was it that Mezz's drummer would have said? Vootie!
This is so good! ðŪâĪ
I would support this forever
Great to see your art work. Take care.
what the freak?so awesome
Amazing, hope this gets a full version someday!
Absolutely fanfuckingtastic!!!!! Excellent job Steve!!!! This is what I want to see!!!âĪððð
1:04 lol this was funny to me . i subbed :)
como decimos en Chile...as we say here in Chile...La raja!!!!
âĨïļ
Oh god this is so deliciously 60s Hanna-Barbera I think I'm going to plotz âĪ
Tyrone's leg.
Voot!!
Rude is the best.
Why can't we have nice things? ðĒ
@Steve I will volunteer to help!!! My animation/game devlog: th-cam.com/play/PLdHoL-DjdVVPzOhCsHZ7j6IBPuZFjzl8s.html
I would love to work on something like this as well...I even took some of Steve's keyframes that he posted on his IG and animated a little segment.
