2D Animation

The Axe

The Axe is a 2D animation I created in Adobe Animate based off my battle axe concept art.

It intends to be a humorous look at a grumpy and mischevious batte axe who intends to troll its wielder as much as possible.

I created the assets in Photoshop. The protagonist is a cartoonified interpretation of my battle axe concept art as this style fitted the comedic genre of the animation best.

PSX-Style Animation

Items

I have been creating item animations based off the retro PSX style.

I used Blender to create and texture 3D models of the items. I then added a basic rotation animation and rendered it as a video.

I took the rendered frames and imported them into Aseprite as an animation where I adjusted the resolution. After this, I went to colour mode and modified it to Indexed Floyd-Steinberg Error Diffusion Dithering. From here, I adjusted the saturation and brightness through the edit menu.
