Chop Socky Chooks for Aardman/Cartoon Network

I just worked with Aardman on this game for Cartoon Network, instantly quadrupling the impressiveness of my client list. The game accompanies Aardman's new kid's series Chop Socky Chooks, soon to premiere on CN in the States, and was a pleasure to work on. I got to collaborate again with some old friends, plus a couple of new ones, and the end result is as frenetic and addictive a game as you could hope for. We got some great feedback from the network, so fingers crossed for more of the same!

The project wasn't without it's challenges though. Fully rendered cg characters faithfully reproduced in lightweight vector? On a tight schedule? With limited reference material available? Erm, no problem! I created from scratch all the in-game graphics, and handled all the presentation screens using what assets we had, see how I did below. I'll add a link to the game when it goes live.


PS: I hope I'm ok in posting these images. The series is still somewhat under wraps, but there are pictures elsewhere on the web so I don't think I'm blowing anything. From what I've seen of it the show looks fantastic, so keep an eye out for it.
