So I actually don't have a working title for my game project yet, but I'm not going to let that stop me from showing this off!

Just wanted to throw props and my thanks to Huan for bashing out some awesome characters for me! Was my first real experience outsourcing for a personal project and he made it really easy to get exactly what I wanted back. All work was delivered as PSD perfectly broken into the layers I needed to export straight into Spine and start animating. Occasionally some changes needed to be made to the structure of a character to accommodate quirks in animation that I didn't foresee and Huan was very open to figuring it all out with me and very active in contributing advice and feedback to me as well! I learned a ton. His creativity is excellent as well, he didn't just draw these, he designed them based on generally slim instructions from me and we got a consistent style going quickly. Breaking work into sets worked really well too (at Huan's advice) IE... Soldier Character Base is a set, Alternate Heads/Accessories/Facial Exprssions for Soldier Character is another set.
On my end of things...holy crap shoulder animation is hard when there are overlapping muscular lines >.> Almost made me want to stick to just writing code.... wait just kidding, I'm using Spine, this was pretty easy since Huan effortlessly included a seamlessly painted portion of the Chest in the Shoulder region so I could FFD my way out of the problem.

Cheers! :beer:
PS:
Huan is a freelance artist and totally understands how to make art that is ready to be Spine'd now! Go check out his Deviant Art for the rest of his portfolio!
