The Flippies are playful little creatures I created to bring more life and fun into the NesWorld realm. They’re basically alien cats, coming straight out of space. Flip Flop is the main Flippie of the group, super silly but also very sensitive. Bob is just as goofy and never misses a chance to join in on Flip Flop’s chaos, while Chef is the calm one of the trio, usually found cooking and keeping things a bit more grounded but doesn’t mind his friends mischievous dynamics.

SKETCHES

The Flippies were meant to be regular cats, and the trio was even called the “3 Meows.” As the project evolved, I reworked their designs into alien cats and renamed their species the Flippies, a change that better captured their playful, silly energy.

STRUCTURE

The Flippies are built with very simple topology. Their faces are made using PNGs, which I can keyframe to quickly switch between different expressions. The rig is also kept pretty minimal and straightforward, since their movements are simple and don’t require anything too complex.
