Hello, hello! It's Fan Art Friday! 💗

Today's the last Friday before October, aka before spooky season begins! We wanted to share the final piece from our prompt "Fakémon! Design your own starter Pokémon." 😎⭐

This is from the wonderful character designer Amy Brown! Respectfully their names are Tuffin and Farmadillo. We MUST protect them at all costs!!! 😍😍😍😍

Our this week is dedicated to the Just Cause 3: Mech Land Assault DLC trailer. 9 years ago we had the absolute pleasure of bringing this project to life. We quite literally poured our blood, sweat, and tears into developing this new look, managing to complete it all in one month! At the time it was wild getting to combine both CG and 2D animation styles, and pulling it all together with some stellar FX animation. 12/10, we'd gladly do it again in a heartbeat.

Here's a top down comparison of the final film vs. the animatic, to give you an idea of how the trailer developed throughout the course of the production. 💪💥

Happy Fan Art Friday to all!!!

As you're well aware, this prompt is still going strong here at the studio: "Fakémon! Design your own starter Pokémon." 😎⭐

Behold, a stunning display from Luzie Ilgner! "This is my starter Fakémon/Punkemon sticker sheet. My creative juices ran out before I could give them names and categories but I think they are mostly all fairy type."

Quick! Which one of their Fakémon would you choose? 👀

This week is dedicated to our "Pitch Graveyard." A place where we shelve past pitches and pay our respects to all the hard and inspiring work from our team.

This illustration was created for a pitch regarding Gwent Levels. The topic was to showcase that these Welsh wetlands were an exciting place to visit. What better way to spend a day with the family than exploring the history and wildlife of this ancient landscape. 😍💚

We're still focusing on the prompt of "Fakémon! Design your own starter Pokémon." 😎⭐

This is from the lovely David Gregory: "I dug this guy out from my personal work archives! He’s not a starter, but could be a 3rd evolution of a starter!"

Also, this perfect fella didn't have a name until David shared it with us in the studio Discord. Collectively we decided to call him "Tortice." 😆🩵
