Animation in TvPaint and Aseprite. Compositing with code in GameMaker Studio 2.
Being suddenly stuck in quarantine and a big assignment went on hold. I decided to make an animated short fully in pixel art, to experiment freely.
Sooner or later I want to start making games, so I wanted a project to work with code.
I have a passion for 90s videogames (which I grew up with), but also like to be creative with certain limitations. The story is a small part of a something bigger I’m working on in the future.
I took a lot of inspiration from matching elements in different religions, like Christianity, Ancient Greek/Norse Mythology and even some Egyptian myths.
Thanks for watching! Hope to see you at the next Elyon related work.
