Little Tallstar, looking to show his Dad the cool puddle - and realizing his Dad has vanished.
I love how the warriors community can take ideas from these books, and just...abstract the heck out of them, into such visually stunning ideas. Like taking the relationship between Tallstar and his father Sandgorse, and making an atmospheric surrealistic video set in Russian panel house landscapes! Absolutely incredible, and so much fun to work on. Thanks Chocobir!!
Now on to the rest of the MAPs I gotta finish before Christmas. It's so nice having this small-scope, achievable projects to work on. Reasonable goalposts are the greatest! :D

Sol hurries through an icy wasteland to find his old pal Midnight - but she is not who he remembers.

Oooh this one kicked my butt, but Im so so happy with how it turned out. A collab between my buddy @galaxymew and I! I did the animation for the first two shots, and all the backgrounds; Galaxy did the animation for the final three shots, and all the effects work like the lighting and breath clouds. (She is very cool, check out her work.)
What a fun AU and aesthetic! Man, animating those two shots near about killed me (I LOVE Sols design but he is an ornery boy to animate, with all the different moving parts.) But I had fun figuring out how to animate heavy breathing or jumping down a pile of rocks. Which, painting that pile of rocks, was also a fun adventure to problem solve! In the end, Im overwhelmingly happy with how it all came together, and I will refrain from being THIS ambitious until at least after the holidays. Haha.
