In a Rocket League stadium, a blue car is mid-air, shooting fire and launching a ball towards the goal. The stadium is filled with colorful banners and a packed audience, with digital screens displaying the Rocket League logo.

Wumpus hits the pitch

The Idea

Discord invited me to feature Wumpus in a Rocket League anniversary post, combining two communities I’ve been part of for years.

The Creation

I explored both live-action VFX and fully 3D Blender concepts. Through rounds of collaboration, I refined poses and expressions until Wumpus fit naturally into Rocket League’s world.

The Tools

Ninja Ripper extracted assets directly from Rocket League. Blender was used to animate, rig, and integrate Wumpus into the environment.

The Final Product

The finished piece was published on Discord’s official Instagram for Rocket League’s ten-year celebration, turning a fan-made idea into an official milestone.
