Jimbo and Skeeter VS. The Apocalypse

This is a new game featured with the Blade Engine, previewed at GDC '09. I made several animations in the game. Here are a few of two of all the enemies: The Hellhound, and the Chicken Mech (I know it doesn't look like a chicken, but it's supposed to act like one. The game is called Jimbo and Skeeter vs. The Apocalypse, which is still in Beta, and the company I worked with is Gaslight Studios.

Also, as you can tell, I've decided to redesign my website a little for better viewing. Enjoy the show! :)

OliveMan's Special Idle

Here is a new animation of OliveMan! This is supposed to be an idle that shows a little about his personality. Any comments relevant to this (or any other) animation are appreciated :)

Enjoy!

Run, OliveMan, Run!

The run cycle. I think it came out ok. Any comments/suggestions/constructive critisizm, please post it. Enjoy! :)

Simple Walk

Here is an animation I made in 30 minutes. It's a simple bipedal animation done with 3DS Max 2009's Biped Rig. I just hid the upper body, and began animating the walk cycle. This is a simple test of my skill as an animator; the first of many. I hope you enjoy it!

Almost done (WIP)

Ladies and gentlemen, here is a video of the same Grimm Reaper, with all the animations almost done :D
Any ideas/comments, please put them up so that I can make it prettier.
I'm sorry for not posting anything up for a while. The skinning of the character was acting up in some of the movements, and syncing the Scythe together with both hands was giving me troubles, but i figured it all out. I hope you all like what I have so far.

Next up, the Vampire :) Skinning is done. I will post a video up of him once I have something to show. Enjoy!

First WIP for class

Although this isn't my first animation, it's the first one I put in here that's an actual Work in Progress. It's for a Mod we're working on for the Unreal 2004 Engine. This is the first character I created. The Grimm Reaper. In this animation "set" I have him in his Idle and Walk cycles. I will be working on him during the weekend. Hit the comments for some suggestions/constructive criticism.

Enjoy ;)




P.S. The character is not yet textured. If anyone wants me to re-render it with a clearer solid-color texture, please let me know :)

P.P.S. The mesh was created by Ben Wheeler. All the meshes I will be rigging and animating were created by Ben. His web-site is right here.

Ornithomptor

For this next project, our teacher made a device that flies around.  The entire object, including the lighting, was of his creation.  The assignment was to make the device (called an Ornithomptor, for whatever reason), pick up a ball, and move it from one peg to the other with style.  This is my result:
