More Murmur Leggy Hit Reacts

Designing animations for characters as strange as the Murmur was one thing, but the challenge of making hit-reacts and status effects for each and every one of them was another feat in itself. As a gameplay animator, you find yourself asking a lot of questions, like: "How do i make these guys look on fire and also not stupid?" "How do i make it react without making it move too much so that players can still hit them?" "Why are there so many status effects?"

Anyway, yeah, I just thought it would be nice to share some more of these animations we shared at the animation workshop at Tennocon 2024.

I'm completely normal about Whispers in the Walls so, of course, when I saw a "draw your baby girl like this" pose, it had to be Loid. He's so baby girl.

Some Warframe Stuff!

Tennocon is over, and we have so much to share! And by that, I mean, have some stuff from WITW and before. A handful of us animators did a little workshop at Tennocon, which wasn't part of the main stage stream. I thought, at least, I'd love to share some of my own work from the past few years. If you have ideas of whether i should share as a big blog post or if individual posts are your jam, I dunno, I'll try to see what works?

the designs lack a bit of liveliness-they look a little too wooden for my liking. however, I really love how mole has a :] mouth. very cute

Anyone else realize how much of a contrast there is between the Void on the Zariman and in Albrecht's labs?

Like, the Zariman itself is practically infested, inside and out, with void energy and ruin. It is a mess, and yet for all of it the actual influence of the Void is minimal, is it not? Sure, theres the Thrax and the Angels but aside from that the Void is more passive there than in Albrechts labs.

Speak of the devil (get it?), tmitw and the Void take a complete 180 in the new tileset. Not only is the whole thing a lot more neat and tidy, with orderly rooms and even drones to make sure any chaos we cause is immediately repaired. The contrast between the Void infested areas and the labs themselves is also very clear, with actual cutoff and melding points, rather than the wild growth of the Zariman's Void. Now add in the fact that the Murmur is a very active force and you can see just how opposite the two locations are.

What intrigues me the most however, are the thematics of both regions. The Zariman, for all of its sleek, futuristic design, clearly has an undertone of religion. From the Organs used in the themes, to the name of the themes themselves, to the focus on song and choir and angels, it all implies a biblical view of things.

Now contrast that with Albrecht's labs, which feature a much more...grounded view of things. From the the fact that these are literal research labs, to the constant references to the human body, bodyparts in everything from enemy design, to the name of the hub, to even the Jahu (Form) gargoyle, everything speaks of science and nature through a more...scientific lens.

Duviri too, kind of falls under this view, but instead of being science or religion, its more along the lines of culture, fiction and just overall creativity, which really makes me wonder where theyre gonna take this with 1999 and beyond...

So yea, just some thoughts I had recently that I felt like sharing.

haha these are just all my little friends :)
