This is the second version of my project:

If you watch the video I encourage you to activate sound. Maybe you dont understand the narrator (myself 🤩), but there are subtitles and sound effects are essential for the feeling of the clip. Enjoy.
I wanted to change some things in the first version video clip, but it spent almost 60 hours rendering with Cycles @200 samples. And with this sampling there were some quality issues. So I decided to try Blender 2.8 and Eevee. It took some time getting the grips with Eevee, but at the end I think the result is totally ok and the renderíng is 10 times faster!
For realistic still images I'll certainly go for Cycles. Especially if there are transparent and shiny metallic materials. But for cartoony video clips like this one, Eevee's rendering speed is awesome.
First image rendered with Cycles @500 samples.
Video clip rendered with Eevee.
Last image shows side by side Cycles vs Eevee, You can see cycles show more accurate shadows (right hand), motion blur, and better quality. But, as I said before, Eevee's image quality is more than enough.

Bro...HAHA. I love his permanent power stance. My guy is ready to fight evil 24/7. :D
Hey, thank you! I think he is all about posing, and not a great fighter. Maybe I can model his evil archienemy: The Neutron.
I don't know if you have checked out the newest version of this project , wich I think that has a much better animation.

Love the story and humors in your video! Great work!
Thank you!
I'll have to think a story to make a new reel for this character, but for the moment I'm in other projects.
ricardog Really funny 🤣! Excellent animation 👍!
PS: This is a good opportunity to improve my Spanish 😉!
