I roughed out the pelvis chest and skull each on their own layer so I can move them around independently- these won’t squash much, the squishing is mostly in the connecting tissue.

Doing some concept work for another game we’re working on… still unannounced… very mysterious… LARPing may or may not be involved… Literally hundreds of pixels per character- what a future we live in!

I thought it might be fun to mention some of the stuff I’ve found useful for pixel/animation work in Photoshop.

Feast your eyes on this little number (a perfect silhouette 10 seconds in):
You get another glimpse at around the 20 second mark, sadly only briefly in silhouette.
Where did he get it? What’s it all about? Why is he so happy he’s got it?

Well well well suddenly the See No Evil Hear No Evil video is gone from YouTube…?
How convenient for you Mr. Spacey if that is your real name that all evidence of your bizarre facial scenario suddenly disappears!
“Removed due to copyright infringement”… clearly we’re getting a too close to the truth.
S.F is pulling some strings- how deep does the rabbit hole go??!
