Here are some early layout tests for taking some of the cover art for my short stories from the “Something Seeps” world and integrating them into menus. They need to be scaled up to HD and you can ignore anything text, but they’re a good first look at the style intentions. (continue reading)
With Jeremy’s change in visuals, I’m stuck in the middle of re-animating the walk cycle to be less clunky and fixing up his portraits and cutscene appearances so far. I won’t have a lot to show until it’s all done, but here’s a better look at his main improved angles! (continue reading)
