reminds me of a uk show called Trapdoor when i was a kid, it was a well good claymation show, just about 5mins an episode, but a classic. I like it, its a change from the usual killing machines we see on cgtalk everyday.

Fantabulous! I love it!

The textures could probably use a little more color variation and tone, but. . . Cool!

great, what you could do is make the eyeballs independant from the lids, which allows more expression (who knows garfield?)

@baaah888: Trapdoor? Never heard of it. Man - I gotta find some movies of theirs (can't them see in Finland you know ;))

@pseudoBug: yeh, true.

@antweiler: Fortunately the guy will not be viewed close-up like this... so the two extra meshes would mean heavy slowdown (because graphics card would have to change mesh THREE times instead of just one... and we have quite many of these characters on screen simultaneously). Cool effect though - and we also thought about it :)
