This project was my end-of-year piece for my digital class during my first year of art school.

The theme of ‘comfort’ in this time of turmoil in our day-to-day lives made me think of fantasy via escapism. I’m a big fan of high fantasy scenes, such as the worlds of Tolkien, and the high fantasy scenes often found in DnD and find comfort in the kind of settings often found in such places. For this project, I illustrated and animated four high fantasy scenes: a tavern, a meadow, an isolated tower and a dungeon.

These scenes had smaller hand-drawn animated elements added to them, bringing them from static scenes to live spaces and edited together with a piece of the soundtrack from the high fantasy game ‘Skyrim’.
