Jingle Jangle Jingle

Playing with and figuring out some more ideas and techniques for how to make 'rough-painted' animations. And showing some ED-E love =)

This is a combo of Photoshop, AfterEffects and Flash.

Kongs

Playin' around with the crew from DKC: Tropical Freeze. Feels so good to get back to playing games like that - it's the stuff that gave me my love for what I do.=) So cheers DK.

A game I have enjoyed a lot lately with a sense of style I VERY much appreciate is OTTTD (Over The Top Tower Defence). One of my character's names is Bronson Laughpain, and yes, he is rapid-firing smiley-bombs out of a teapot! Don't question me' Bronson!

If you're one for some silliness (and fun tower defense), check it out =)

As a break from my recent Flash animation thing I'm doing - I needed to do something speedy and more rough. I've been wanting to play more with animating with Photoshop's video layers. There is so much muckin' around to be done with them. Check those out too =)

Spaceman Spiff X King Sepiad

Bout to get messy here! I've wanted to mash up Ratchet and Clank with Spaceman Spiff for a long time now. It's just so...right!

Do yourself a favor and the next time you see a RaC game, imagine it is being narrated by Spiff like he does. ;) For me, the best one for that was A Crack in Time because of its mini planets - perfect for some ... Spiffing...

Nechy's green grubby-ass grotto

Playin' =)

BLAM!

Just playin. Shout out to 'Straya! Barry Steakfries having a go at Fruit Ninja :)

From the bottom of my heart - one of things I miss most from Australia...

mangoes man. Mangoes

R.Y.N.O V

Up there with Mr. Zurkon, Ratchet and Clank's RYNO V has got to be my favourite weapon from any game. If you don't know - along with everything explosive or deadly, it also blasts the Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture at full volume! Brilliant...BRILLIANT :)

Looking to Kiillll Youuuuu

I love Mr Zurkon, he has to be one of my favourite things from the Ratchet and Clank series...that and the RYNO V.... :)

Necrophobus the Invincible

Another idea for a killer flora boss for the Borderlands universe. Man this is fun.

This one is based off a corrosive plant called a Nechrophage, that burst if hit. This guy is huge. His crit-hit bulby-bit pops in and out of it, lighting up inside or outside, looking cool AND serving as a clearly readable queue for the player - leading you to run around outside where it can claw you and spout more Spore minions at you - and get up close and personal UNDERNEATH IT as it moves around! 'xciting right?? :D

SPFPLRRTFF!

Another quick bit of fun - an idea for a weapon drop from this guy!

Just some quick fun

Dr Nefarious is a classic. Just having a little fun with his face.

His animators would have had a ball!

Lava Burst Grenade

An idea for a grenade mod you might get from Melonius, my Borderlands raid boss idea.

A sticky, lava spewing party starter!

Melonius' Cavern

Had a bit more quick fun with my Borderlands enemy idea today - looks like a party in there. There is some more on this guy HERE, the fun forum discussion :)

Stanley Clunkerbottom's on FIRE

Bit of quick fun with Photoshop and After Effects. I haven't really animated anything for so long. I'm wanting to base a spesh (to me) project on similar techniques sometime

Yay funny, quick GIFs. And yay Tower Wars!

Badass Firemelon!

A buddy and I had a good laugh at this idea. While playing Borderlands 2, we passed by a lowly old firemelon and thought, "You know what would be funny? A badass firemelon! That if you shot it - only one of it's melons would explode and it would get movin'...

...of course you would follow it for a while and be lead to a cave...

...AND CUT LOOSE!

It will be spreading lava around the arena, clubbing with it's arms, leaving holes and dents filled with lava while you break away its rock casing to expose its soft, crappy self with nothing holding it together - that will take a beating from you!
