Swordtember 2021 Animations
This was the hardest I've worked on pixel art easily. The idea was to push myself to try new things with art and animation with every single "day". I achieved that. There's stuff in every one of these that I'd never tried before and I feel like I grew a lot, especially in animating skill, over the course of the month. But I'm never doing a challenge like this again! Just kidding, I probably will...
The full character roster. 30 days, 30 (mostly) original character designs. Each one got an animated vignette because I'm nuts.
All the actual swords. I realized the video doesn't linger very long on them, so now they should be easier to see.
The final animation, 520 frames long with music by Komiku from the Free Music Archive.
