Pixel Art animation !

It was the first time for me making pixel art ! I'm myself surprised of how good it turned out for a first try.

I had to do this for an entrance exam for an art school, and it took me almost 3 weeks from start to finish. Full time, between 3 hours, but mostly 6 or 7 hours per day, 7 days per week (while having classes).

I actually used blender to make the camera move. I animated a really simple scene, with balls to represent the firefly and the frog and only marks on the ground for the background. I rendered my 3D animation, and then used the images as a reference to draw in 2D. Wich mean... 60 frames, traced and colored by hand. Whelp, my poor wrist suffered...

I also had to include 15 color max (well, the color of the signature doesn't count). It really sets a pretty atmosphere !

(The school accepted me, by the way)
