Hey Tangaroa, good to hear from you. I do the cinematic cutscenes as opposed to the playable combat part of the game, so that's where the tikis are hidden. Game sites like Gamespot don't usually post cutscene images cuz gamers prefer to see what the actual gameplay parts will look like.

My movies are a mix of photos I shot, NARA archival images (a lot of them with friends' and coworkers' faces replaced onto the pilots heads) and 2d and 3d animation of planes, effects and whatnot. It's been a lot of fun and is the most "broadcast-y" animation I've ever done, very documentary-ish.

Anyway, don't tell anyone I posted this, but this is just a small area of a large horizontal image of some dignitaries. It gives you an idea of how the tikis appear. There's a lot of shots of pilots in ready-rooms, looking at maps, etc. that are easy to place tikis into. I try to keep them in the "light" photos only, though, and not include them with any Nazis or violent images. :)
