Go here to see how Kendra from Dead Space was created - - lots of concept art and photos of actress Tonantzin Carmelo in a motion capture suit.

And a few more links:

Three video game videos

First, a question. Are you aware of someplace that I could download playthroughs of video games? For example, I don't have the time to play through Dead Space, but I'd love to watch a video of someone playing through the game (something a bit higher quality then a bunch of 10-minute Youtube videos). I wish the video game companies would sell such DVDs. Anyway, on to the videos:

Fallout Retrospective. I wish they'd put out a DS version of Fallout 1 and 2
