Tiyanaks

In “Tiyanaks,” the creatures have fully-grown feet and legs. Jay elaborates, “There are three kinds of tiyanaks, based on the location of the creature.” He and his team made sure that each type has a distinct look: “The land tiyanak looks like wood. The water tiyanak is slimy and its hair looks like seaweed. The air tiyanak has wings underneath its hands. Iba-iba ang hitsura pero bawat isa siguradong nakakatakot!”
The computer artists at Riot were as meticulous with the movement of the creatures as they were with the appearance. “Kung baga, ang kilos ng mga tiyanak, hindi kilos ng tao. Kilos ng mga monster dapat. Ang pagtalon, sobrang taas at bilis. Ang paggapang, nakadapa. Ang pagsisid sa tubig, parang isda. Parang any moment kakainin ka na ng tiyanak!” says Jay.
“Tiyanaks” is groundbreaking in the sense that it utilizes certain firsts in visual effects and design. Jay explains, “Ngayon lang talaga makakakita ang mga tao ng mas flexible na creatures. 3-D ang characters, which is not normally seen kasi dati puro puppets. Sabay-sabay na lalabas ang tatlong tiyanak so madami sila at mahirap gawin ang ganon. At first time na ganito ka-detailed ang creatures.”
