Spring 07 – Midpoint – Mantis Flash Gallery

Beam me up… so characters are clickable. A fun fact is that, if you dont want to enlarge the gallery, you can just click it and make the characters go round using the arrow keys in your keyboard.

As I prepare for the midpoint, I use my Experimental Flash class with Mitch (simply the best flash instructor in the world… *waves at him*) as a vehicle to portray who are the mantis. This is my first round of character design painted in flash. Up until this point, the habitants of Silicon City only existed in the pages of notebooks and my imagination.

All this action takes place in Silicon City, also known as the “new” New York. A gallery like this helps me, not only show the characters to the world, but also to brainstorm possible stories as I find my way through this 3d carrousel of ideas.
