Earlier this year Flex Animation was excited to assist Axis Studios with a colossal new trailer for Magic: The Gathering’s latest Arena Expansion, Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths.

Flex was tasked with the facial rigging for the two heroes - the lead female Vivien and the enormous flying Wingcat. For Wingcat careful attention was paid to matching the facial expression of large cats to capture the subtleties of sneers, growls and blinks.

Special thanks to Axis for working with us on this very exciting and gigantic scope of a project.
