Early painterly animation test for Asja - brilliantly animated by @toni_buenavida This test combines animation, look development, and shading exploration for Solace, our indie animated project. It's still very much WIP, but I'm excited where this style takes us!

I loved painting this piece. It captures so many of the things that made Solace exciting for me - Asja driven by this desperate need to get Hati - her wolf companion -back, and an ancient sigil opening the door to the dark, primordial magic... (1/3)

This is Solace, a silent animated tale about a girl and her wolf, and what happens when she has to face losing him. We’ve been building it independently, bringing together artists and friends to create a handcrafted story about grief, love, and letting go 🐺
