Look for Sugarcone at your local park!
Process
This animation marks the introduction of my first standalone character, Sugarcone. The animation itself is primarily a tweaked version of the one I created for the front cover of his character blueprint, which will be released soon.
Because of this, the creation of the animation largely has its origins in the creation of the character blueprint and therefore in the design process of Sugarcone himself. At the time of this animation, his design had gone through three versions, with most of the tweaking happening in the colors and the head. The original animation was built for version 2 of the design, which was modified to create version 3, which is the animation seen here. In addition, a 3D background was created and retraced.
His design was tweaked once more in mid 2024, and a severely incomplete version of the blueprint was put up on ArtFight that time (although it was taken down shortly). More details on the character design process will be revealed upon the release of the full character blueprint.
