Cutesy Chatroom

A small cutesy chatroom a programmer I work with wanted to make. I saw it as an opportunity to refine bouncy cute artwork compared to the grim fantasy animating I normally do. My inspiration was my one true love, Celeste. The way it uses 2-tone shading to add vibrant contrast whilst facilitating smooth animations in a short timeframe is genius. I created walk cycle for the character in less than 15 minutes and I'm very happy with the outcome.
