So the last week...

Mentioned the virtual pet game in the last post; most of my time this week has been devoted to animating the following sprites;

So they're not actually that small in RL, but they're not very interesting, either. They're idle animations. The walk-cycle took a donkey's age. And it's a bit more exciting to look at, but still pretty tiny.

So I've also done some random sketches. Like a Scholar Dwarf, and the Vhussit.
Scholar Dwarf kind of speaks for himself, but a Vhussit is another creature I made up for the same game as the Sqayaqe that I also never got around to drawing until recently. A vhussit is a sort of emaciated spectral greyhound. Its mood is perpetually foul, but it loves to sing.

Hearing a Vhussit song is generally considered to be a bad omen, not unlike the scream of a banshee, but the origin of that superstition is sort of backwards. Upon hearing the song, the listener normally panics. If the Vhussit is close enough to have its song disturbed by the senseless gibbering, it's annoyed and offended by the interruption, and tears the person to peices.

If the listener escapes the Vhussit's wrath, he or she usually worries so much about their 'impending doom' that they don't pay attention to where they're going, and walk out in front of a bus or something equally dangerous.

Anyway, here's the Vhussit.

I will colour him in at some point.

Lastly; some character art for the Mountain Goat from the Next Level thing. Probably the only thing in this whole post that's relevant to anything.

That chickenscratch you can barely see basically says that I think he's creepy with the huge eyes. He looks much more goat-ish and nice with the little eyes. However, I like the smoother coat.
