Hey guys,

Enjoying yourselves and eating lots of eggs? Haven't been actively drawing for a while. Little doodle here and there but nothing special. And I've been working on a big freelance project for a couple of weeks now, that is taking quite a bit of energy and concentration. I told myself I would take a little break today since it's Easter.

But while I sat on the thunder pot, I got an idea. So I powered up my computer, and worked it out. After 4 hours it all came together and I was pretty flabbergasted by the result. Even for a rough test it looks pretty bad ass. Let alone when it's tightened up and correctly calibrated. Combine it with some facial expressions, and I'll have a kick ass dynamic character portrait for all my future games

Go check it out here : [link]

I'm pretty excited about this. Gonna clean it up so I can easily add it to any Flash project. Next up the facial expressions

Technical mumbo:
- I create a timesheet with expressions for an audio file with JLipSync [link]
- Load the timesheet file and the audio file into Flash.
- Let flash calculate the timing and mouth shapes.
- And dynamically tween (animate) the mouth control points based upon the calculations.
