Five on this one. Three in the main chain, with leaf scale joints under the first and second. I think I have at least four tongue modules to choose from, this one is my fairly flexible game character tongue

I rigged and skinned the base and armored variation, with the other two utilizing texture swaps of that initial model. I think the Superseed animators did a brilliant job capturing his playful personality in this set

- Attended my brothers wedding
- Had a short break in Margret River with my partner
- Attended another wedding
- Flew back to Melbourne

PREVIEW // Mixtape

"I’m controlling two slimy, pink tongues as they plunge into each other’s mouths. They dance around in languid circles, like a load of sopping wet clothing in a front loader...This is Mixtape."

Mixtape Preview & Interview: Peak 90s Nostalgia Mixtape is a deeply nostalgic game, even for those who didn't grow up skating the streets of 90s America listening to Devo.

It was a real pleasure to preview Mixtape for Blunt magazine! I truly loved what I played. bluntmag.com.au/features/mix...

A white bun burger in wrapping containing fried chicken and mashed potatoes. A little cheese is noticeable. Sitting on a plate of shoestring fries on a red tray covered with greasy paper

One of my first stops in Perth is always getting Hoodburger's tender mash and gravy burger. Fried chicken, mashed potato, gravy, cheese, perfectionπŸ‘Œ

Seems like a bad time to post this but is there ever a good time?

Just putting it out there that my current contract ends in the middle of November and I'll once again be looking for work as a character rigger/technical artist in games. I have a wealth of experience. 13+ years. Remote only please❀️
