Mr. Driller Tribute Animation

This was a fan-made tribute animation to the video game series Mr. Driller and its titular character. I'm a big fan of the art direction in the series, which is typically presented in 2D. I wanted to see how I could translate this style into 3D whilst retaining its iconic characteristics.

I particularly wanted to focus on contrasting the character's limited frame rate with the environment, making him feel more cartoony and closer to his 2D origins. Similarly, I wanted to create a modular facial rig where I could adjust the elements of the face to favour the camera and create snappy facial animation through the use of shape keys and replacement.
