Project Overview
Original monster design created for an animated short that I started about three years ago and never finished. Spent a lot of time figuring out the mechanics of the monster, and it went through a few different forms before I settled on one that I liked. Unfortunately, I ended up redesigning not only the monster's transformation but also the whole vision of the animated short, only after I had already put 80+ hours into it. Below is a cut of just a running cycle of the monster, done at 24 fps with multiple shades of color, making it the most detailed/fluid animation I have made to date. One day I'd love to revisit this concept.
