2D Animation Showcase
This entry highlights two of my ongoing personal animation projects, an action-oriented concept about a teenage martial arts prodigy, and a serene fairytale inspired by the wonders of nature.
Yoshimi is a teenager whose family was taken by an unknown evil force when she was seven years old. As an orphan, she was taken in by the master of a local martial arts school. She's spent every day since then training to become stronger and faster so that when the evil returns, she'll be able to fight back.
In this teaser, Yoshimi is confronted by a shadow version of herself. The Shadow is presented as a mirror of Yoshimi's character design, but with an inverted color palette and strange, snake-like movements. The Shadow knows all of Yoshimi's moves, so she'll need to use all of her skill, tenacity, and quick thinking to outsmart her opponent and emerge victorious...
FAIRYTALE
This project focuses on an unnamed character, a young child who wanders into the forest and befriends the spirits of nature that adults are unable to see. Presented here are two shots from the project. The first shot shows our character interacting with a fire spirit. In the second shot, our character watches as a quartet of plant spirits dance around a newly sprouted seedling.
Two additional rough animations show serene studies of small forest creatures to be used in the final project.
