I like the OP dragon gently sticks the clip in

All the other dragons angrily rip it from your hand and shove it in

He's wise and elderly, and thus more patient. That's why he gives a nice little puff of smoke from his snout to say "thank you." :)

we played around with the idea of making a different version where he's an elderly sage dragon and carries a spellbook and had harry potter-shaped glasses :P

I like how you can visibly see the dragon "breathing" in these skins, really makes them feel alive all the time instead of alive only during reloading, good touch.

Thank you! Our animator is super talented and he added those idle anims!

I admit they definitely don't look as bad as the trailer made it seem. The grabbing of the ammo from the dragons is really cool. Idk if I'll get em though.

The operator sound with the dragon groaning actually lasts a decent amount of time after the shot -- might masks footsteps.

We duck the cosmetic audio so that if there's another sound you SHOULD hear (like footsteps), the cosmetic skin audio gets lowered to prioritize the footsteps audio. No pay to lose! :)

So you're not gonna believe this but yes, it's one guy who did all the animations. It's this incredible guy: https://www.artstation.com/xrayalpha/profile

Our team is actually very, very small, especially compared to other cosmetics teams.
