Monster Island IV Yet Again Intro

One of the major contributions I made to Syfy Monster Island were the boss intro screens. The boss battles lacked any kind of notification for a while and I suggested a flashy intro to create excitement upon landing on a boss. So I designed a sort of template that had could rotate palette depending on the boss and then have a snippet of animation of the boss before doing that slow motion thing. Here's one with Megacroc (A Drew version of the Syfy creature):


It echos a sort of 60/70s horror film look with kind of rough paint splotches but since it's for a Facebook game, it retained an amount of color and cheeriness. Here's my test image using Pterodactyl:

And speaking of Pterodactyl, I think the animations I did for him are one of my favorites in game.


Pterodactyl was more Drew Johnson art, so on that note, here's another one of Drew's characaters I animated, the disgusting Corpsewalker:

Monster Island

      So the time has come to post the ridiculous amount of monsters I animated for the timeless and wonderful Syfy Monster Island game on Facebook.

        Most things are just flat tween animations done in Flash with an idle and sometimes an attack mode. They all nicely and cleanly loop while you shoot at them. First up is a boss, a very big snowman. Created and drawn up by the timeless and wonderful DrewJohnsonStudios.com This manbeast expels icy breathe from his maw.
      Here's also the sexy native woman known as Kani. She has an axespearblade thing and wears hairspray. This art was created by the outsourcing studio who should not be named. Last we have this bat I created for the game. I unfortunately was able to draw very few monsters for the game as I was too busy animating them, but this one was a nice diversion. I don't know what the bumps are on the back, but I agree, they are gross. I'm posting the two best variants. First up we have a vampire version complete with dripping blood: Second there is a cyclops version that does cyclops like things: I'll try to intermittently post more of these things, but I don't want to flood my blog with them. I think my count is about 40-50 unique animations, not counting variations. I possibly animated about 95% of all character and monster like things in games. Very exhausting few months.
