The World Where We Met 2012

Watch Time: 4 mins 5 secs ・ Audio: Music only

Animated in Adobe Flash, properly rendered in Photoshop and then compiled together in Adobe After Effects.

A silent short animation for my final year animation project. The story follows a teenage girl sick in a hospital. She has an out-of-body experience and discovers that she can see other spirits and strange monsters. She encounters a young child who shares the same experience, and whose dying body is in a coma and does not have long to live. The teenage girl decides to play with the child and cheer her up until Death arrives to take the child away.

Initially, I had a lot of trouble finishing this project near the final stages due to some life situations. I actually didn’t submit the complete animation to my professor, I had cut corners a bit by not colouring in the backgrounds of the scenes where the girls were spirits. Yet my professor had graded it as complete, and it was screened along side my classmates’ animations in a local theater. (o-_-o)

I was going to leave it in its incomplete form, but my musician for the project wanted a copy of my animation for his portfolio. I was too embarrassed to send him my animation incomplete, so I went back in and coloured in all those unfinished parts, and finally completed it to the degree I wanted before sending it to him. （ー○ー）＝３

I later submitted this animation to the Golden Key International Honour Society and it won the 2013 Visual and Performing Arts Achievement Award for Mixed Media. ヾ(⌐■_■)/

This animation was originally posted on Vimeo and I eventually took it down.

Chibi fanart bookmark designs I made for my art stall.
Hunter x Hunter (top-left), Fairy Tail (top-right), Rurouni Kenshin (bottom-left) & D.Gray Man (bottom-right).

The characters were used also in some of the other merch I sold at the stall, ranging from stickers, badges, mugs, prints and tote bags.

All these illustrations were created using Adobe Photoshop and originally posted on DeviantArt before I eventually took them down.

My first artist alley display under the name, Evee Chan’s Store, selling mostly fanart.
It was a very amateur-ish display, but it was my first. ┐(´д｀)┌

Manifest was the name of the anime fan convention where I decided to hold my very first artist alley table. The year prior, I went to the Manifest convention as a customer, and this year (2012), I decided to open an art stall of my own, despite the looming deadline of my final animation project for uni. (￢_￢;)

It was a three day event and I was only able to breakeven for the table and the print costs, but it was fun and enjoyable enough for me to decide to continue this for the next few years and gain some very important skills and experiences.
