Kinda inspired by the times where I would just sneak onto a Hinox and steal the gear/items around their necks because I couldn’t be bothered fighting them (or was too afraid earlier in my play through)

inspired by a location from the game. I thought the scene of a korok flower on top of a rusted guardian was pretty neat and it has stuck with me.

these were the original boards for the shot. the storyboards/project this was a part of was pretty long for me, and when i timed it, it was around 5 minutes long. even though the original project was just gonna be an animatic (ofc with cleaned up characters and bgs etc), i found it difficult to motivate myself to work on it around quarter way through, especially with a bunch of other stuff going on so i abandoned it.

to keep things short, around a month ago i wanted to work on a short animation so i looked to this old project and picked out this shot which had fun character movement and well, started

rough animation! it was fun drawing the key poses, although i think the overall animation moves a lil bit too fast - even if he is panicked and talking quickly - but unfortunately it was something i didnt notice until towards the end... uhh

Originally this animation was going to be part of a set of three, with this one being the last. However, I decided to just animate this one since I spent a lot of time fussing over the first part and wasn’t sure how to get it to work, the second part had very minimal movement and I didn’t feel the motivation to animate it, and in the end I just wanted to animate something, and I quite like the mood of part 3. I also used clip studios 3d assets to help me with the background and perspective, since its something i still have trouble with and want to get it done to the best of my abilities

(first shot was cut shorter in this gif since its still) I didn’t want to spend too long on rough animation since the movement is basic and something I could inbetween when doing the final lines (though I mainly ended up doing that for the cushioning frames at the end)
