Cicada Dance
The Cicada Dance is one of my proudest works as it was the first time I ever did anything in 3D.
2D-to-3D Conversion
- I created the character design and concept for the character, including turnaround sheets and expression sheets.
- I then modeled the character in Blender using the turnarounds as a reference.
- I hand drew the textures and put them onto the model.
Animation
- Once I rigged the model, I started animating with the existing dance as a reference.
- I exported the frames and then added some smears in my 2D animation program, Krita to give it more style.
- I hand drew the backgrounds in CLIP Studio Paint and edited them in with VSDC.
