Monique Version 2

Howdy, So over the past few weeks, we here at the office have been honing our halo skills in preparation for the launch of Halo 3. Nearly every day at lunch we hook up the projector and get our asses whooped by Labamba. You see Labamba doesn't spend his free time going on walks, taking time to smell the flowers, or sitting back and just being...he spends his time walking through the halo maps, finding the best vantage point to surprise attack you and then t-bag your body all while yelling "Ownage, OWNAGE!" Most of us here have learned to deal with it...all except our video editor. I'm kinda worried one day Labamba's not going to come into work and our video guy will arrive with a big crazy grin and some blood splattered across his cheek that, when asked about it, he will disregard it as some careless ketchup splatter from his morning hash browns.

Anyway, on to the posting. A while back we posted a drawing JoeZee did of Monique. Well, things were postponed for a while, but we finally came back to her and changed some things around. She came out a bit cuter and instead of being at school we put her on a train. JoeZee did the sketch of Monique, and I colored her and created the BG. These are two different BG styles she is set in. Were leaning toward the first one.

Britney Spears

So Britney did what seemed to be a half sedated performance at the VMAs a couple days ago. Of course that means we here at Liquid Generation have to cover it ASAP! For some reason Britney has always given us a hard time to draw and this week was no exception :( Anyway, here are some attempts I did...

(this is the one we decided on)



Thats all I'm willing to post because they get worse and worse from here on :)

Party Foul Game Layout

So this week we have all been either creating new games or making new version of old ones. I've been working on this Party Foul game. Basically the way it works is you hear an audio clip, then you have to guess which movie it came from. After you guess you get to see the movie clip that goes along with the audio (similar to who farted)

Here are some scribbles i made while coming up with the idea...



And here is a rough idea of what its kinda gonna look like when its done...
The shatter was done in Maya using its cool physics feature. It takes a lot of tweaking to do pretty much anything in Maya (especially since my knowledge is limited) but its fun and looks cool :) The pic of my bearded dragon Maldune is where the Video will go.

If you're importing an image sequence into Flash, there is no way to lay the images out on the time line on a single layer easily. Flash allows you to distribute the images to layers, but after that you have to pull each one onto a single layer separately. Anyway, I found an awesome flash extension on Adobe's exchange page to fix this :) click here to check it out!
