Finally got to meet Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin from The Behemoth and got me a sweet autographed Barbarian Figurine (character from Castle Crashers)!
Here are two pictures:

Game development is really fun, especially figuring out timing on different characters. Here’s a preview of what this bot’s walk cycle would look like.
This is a small animation that I created for the instructions page for the game mentioned in the earlier post. I’ve included the Flash source file so that anyone can use it for their non-commercial/personal projects. Feel free to download the FLA file and possibly create your own animation with these assets!

I’ve received quite a few requests to create a tutorial on how to rig characters for animation and games. That article will soon be covered.
Cheers!
I’ve been working on a submission with a fellow programmer for Newgrounds’ Robot Day. The game is a fan-based take on Castle Crashers and I completed most of the Red Knight assets for programming.
The character went through a bit more evolution and I fine tuned the colors so it’s easy to animate. I decided not to use strokes or lines so as to keep the animation easy and that way the turnaround time for the assets would be quicker.
Memorial Day weekend is here! Yay, for us at the studio it means a good long 3 day weekend. Back in Bangalore (India), my friends who work for multi-national corporations (MNC) get Memorial Day off. Though it does make business sense to have a day off for these MNC’s, it doesn’t make sense to anyone else there as no one’s observing the real reason behind Memorial Day.
If one goes back to the roots of this day, it was first observed by formerly enslaved black people in South Carolina, honoring the Union soldiers who had fought for the preservation of the Union. That’s definitely a reason for humanity to celebrate and it doesn’t matter in which part of the world it’s observed. I wonder how many other cities outside the USA have a day off work?

These are some of the earlier concepts I made back in 2007. It’s about a team of nerdy footballers and their friends.
Roughed out something quick before jumping into my next assignment. I find it very relaxing to take a break and doodle. Nope, I don’t smoke.
Here are some of the prop designs used in Rock Mash. I decided to keep them very simple and stylized because they hardly get any screen time before they are all mashed to smithereens.
