Watch it here, y’all know the drill!

Usually when I post a YT animation, I’ll share the thumbnail or concept art for it here as a way to notify the DA crowd. But since my color keys were pretty messy this time around, I went for something a bit different. The animation itself has the camera pan from character to character, so we never get to see a wide shot of the whole environment. This is what that full render would look like!

Back when I made an animation for Pokemon Legends: Arceus, I used Japanese traditional ink brushes & washes for the backgrounds to evoke the era that game takes place in. I knew a different approach would be necessary for this SV-centric animation. Since crystals are a big motif in those games, I decided to give the environments a more ‘faceted’ look to them. This involved blocking in objects w/ the polygon tool multiple times & then layering them on top of each other w/ varied opacity (this can best be seen on the brick bench’s top slab). A relatively simple process, but a time consuming one nonetheless
