Short Films and Designs

The first concepts I did for my personal project: The Black Crow. It is also the first time I did world building and concepts digitally. It's nice to be able to design the environment for a change.

Something different I decided to experiment with since I mostly design and paint human characters. I always loved designing dragons too and it will be good practice to try painting various textures.

The story revolves around a Kappa whose fate lies in the hands of an Onmyoji after trying to steal his golden ball. Screened at Melbourne International Film Festival and Young Animators Film Festival, 2018 ---------------------------------------- Concept art for Kappa & Onmyoji. This is the first short film I did by myself and it is only a minute long. It was quite an exciting experience as I got to design everything myself.  Old design for Kappa. Since yokai lore states that Kappas love sumo wrestling, I gave him a loin cloth. Initial design for Sev the Onmyoji. He's named after Severus Snape because he looks kinda like him. Since the film is supposed to be done solo, I simplified the character designs so it will be much faster and easier to draw. I chose that style to fit with the paper theme I had going.  I chose the more desaturated version of the typical Kappa colours to give it the feeling of an older era.
