This is my senior project at Drexel University. I was one of the main animators for the game. I had a hand in all the key plant animations for the game.
This is the lantern flower, which is used to illuminate areas and allow further exploration of the midnight region. The animation, almanac art and icons are all drawn by me.
I created the animation within Procreate Dreams.
This is the final animation of the lantern flower within the forest region and then the midnight region.
This is a magnified version of the animation. The animation was built on ones, for 12fps.
These are all the sprites used for the lantern flower overworld animation.
This is the rough version of the animation.
These are all early concepts for what the lantern flower could have been. It went through a lot of iterations before it became the design it now is.
These were some of the final designs that were proposed before a design was settled on. The final design was thanks to my peer, E Berlin.
