Last week, I worked on animations for the Gate. All that’s really left is to create a background behind the top guards.

The little guards on the top were one of the most difficult animations so far.

I started with a simple 3D model as a animation reference.

Then, I created a 2D animation of the body.

I wanted to see what it would look like if I modeled arms and paired it with the 2D animation. It was fine, but a full 2D animation would be better.

It was tricky, but I was quite happy with the final animations.
