Father christmas Star Wars homage concept

Random idea for Father Christmas comedy skit,

Scene : Unseen man hanging  from a rail. Father Christmas looking down with features of Darth Vader.

Line: Christmas I am your Father.

Not sure why this was in my head, have I subconsciously seen this else where? Just like that Wreck it Ralph idea someone else got too first i.e. "99 problems but a Glitch ain't one".

Online Game Making IDE - using Phaser

Hello,

Been a while since the last post. I've been playing with this a lot! Fairly cool online game editor with reasonable tutorials. I started just using the Phaser JS instead to learn the basic script but Mighty Editor has a lot to offer too.

Phaser:

Mighty Editor:

Basically if you want to make HTML 5 games and don't want to fork out for GameMaker Studio Pro plus the HTML export you should definitely check it out. I found easy to learn (although like everything harder to master).

Let me know what you think.

Buttons created in MS PowerPoint (dead easy to do and these were the most basic). Vector art done in Anime studio.

Sorry for the poor record quality, really need to sort out some good screen capture software.

War Mammoth - Basic Rig test

Got the Vector work done for the basic Mammoth (no saddle and armor yet). Still need to sort smart bones and constraints but fairly pleased so far.

War Mammoth Anime Model

The next model I have just started work on is a bit random. I have a  story in development which involves Orc warbands roaming steppe and tundra like plains. So what sort of mounts would Orcs living in such an environment have? Mammoths of course! It does seem to be a concept already conceived in WOW and Warhammer (damn it!). But the idea of large roving bands of Orcs with Mammoths for pack animals/war mounts is fairly scary.
 

Here is the initial sketch and a start to the vector work for the Mammoth without armor and saddle (Those will be added after more detailed sketches).

Next project poll

Can't decide what to do for my next project. I'm really loving high fantasy steam-punk influences at the moment (see comic reviews for my reasons). But really want to produce something that will be of benefit to people.
