Coming out Jan. 25 for the XBox 360 and the Playstation. This clip features an interview with executive producer Steve Papoutsis and his take on making a game creepy scary.

Pose Maniacs

Evelyn recommended an online resource that we can use to sharpen our lifedrawing skills. Remember that lifedrawing is a prerequisite for any animation career and that to do well in it, you must practice often. If you go to this site, scroll down the left hand column and click the "30 sec. Pose" link. Poses will cycle every 30 seconds, but you could adjust the time to whatever you like. The images also show anatomy, this is a great resource. Go to the site by clicking here: http://www.posemaniacs.com/blog/pose/
