After a crunch week it is important to make sure you don’t crash, gotta keep your productivity levels up to maintain a good production pace. Which is why after last week’s crunch, I decided to spend my Monday making carrot statues out of my lunch.  Productivity master.

The King’s Bird

I give you Bird!

Ever wonder how we made the animations for the King’s Bird so fluid? We actually model out the character first and animate it in 3D, then render it out as a sprite sequence. 

And no, your eyes do not deceive you, Bird has a face! Mostly for promotional art, but also just the give that extra bit of detail in the profile.
