Motion Graphics

Heres a nice piece of motion graphics used in a cut scene for Napoleon: Total War (yet to be released). I like the idea of a top down map with infographics over the top, perhaps as level instructions?

3D Character Design

Ork type character I've been sketching

Animation Practice

This voluntary jump could be interesting to recreate, I particularly like the way the arms and legs flail in mid air, the camera angle is interesting too.



I since decided to use this as the basis for one of my animations, although not an actual rotoscope it will be based on this video.

Animation Practice



A short test I found on youtube to show the effects of a close explosion on a ragdoll

3D Character Design

Rufus from Street Fighter IV is an interestingly proportioned character (fat!), in the game he has  physics applied to that belly which wobbles around and looks pretty funny, it just adds another bit of visual interest to the character.
