Metal Maw Dies

Another post by our community team included Metal Maw's combat idle and death animations.  Our lore team also wrote up some great background information on him.

Wildstar: Metal Maw animations

I did a couple animations recently for Wildstar's fan-designed monster, Metal Maw.  Carbine wants to keep the fans updated on this creature's progress through development, so they've posted periodic blog posts showing work on him from each department on the art team.  The animation process was posted in two chunks, one for the Walk Cycle, and one for the Birth/Introduction Sequence.  We've also written a little about the process and workflow up there, so there are some in progress versions as well.  Here are the final versions of each.

Not my favorite drawing ever, but a drawing's a drawing...

Wildstar finally announced!

We have finally announced our big, secret MMO at Carbine Studios. It's called Wildstar, and it is an epic sci-fi, western, fantasy adventure! It has been pretty exciting to see footage of this thing finally out in the public eye, and even more exciting to see the positive reactions. Take a look for yourself.  I will be posting more art from Wildstar as we move forward... ;-)
