Eyes Above

A short story written by my brother based on five years of DnD campaigns leads to a deep dive into character animation.

Scalability as priority drives the style of bright, saturated colors and thick outlines. Ultimately, the goal is to build a video game demo with a full color animation intro, but...

As everyone warned me, hand drawn animation takes forever. Drawing non-stop for around 9 months, the only character animations were black and white sprites. Still wanting to send this in my Young Guns 21 entry, I tried to make it feel as finished as possible (was not shortlisted ☹️).

Its been hard to pick this project back up since. My hands were always ache-y from drawing at night after designing during the day...
