Blend shapes

At first my roll was to make an interactable NPC. You would have to speak to him in order to start the training exercise that is are game level.
I started off by making some blend shapes to imply speech coming from the NPC. This would not have been lip synced and the speach would have been simple text. The blend shapes where created to show movement of both the mouth and tongue.

I then went about creating an idle pose that would of been cycled when the NPC is not being spoken too.
