Aaron Diaz, the writer of the webcomic Dresden Codak, made an interesting blog post recently about elements that go into the design of comic characters. It's a worthwhile read if you're interested in character design since a lot of the same rules that apply to comic characters also apply to game characters.…

In this thread I want to show you some old and new stuff as well as current WIPs, comments are very welcome =) A few stills from our animated short, "MARS". An UDK environment for an interactive and animated digital comic:…
