HELLO NEWGROUNDS on a whim i spent like 2 days on a short 30 second cartoon involving my character claudia and the little ghost crab that haunts her

in this post i would liek to show off the behind the scenes stuff like concept art and storyboards for this short thing cuz i put a good amount of love into this tiny skit

heres a gif showing off the 3D scene in the animation, the 2D animation was on a plane that moved with the camera so that it was always facing it, this is cuz i wanted the lighting in the 3D scene to affect claudia

this is the full storyboard for the thing, i made this after waking up at 4 am after a very stressful day and thought this would be funny

immediately after making that, i thought "itd be cool if the screen was a pre rendered 3D thing" so i sketched out how i'd like it to look and then i made that in 3D

a few of my friends who saw the thing early asked if the mario model was ripped from mario 64 and then edited, and the answer to that is No

afterwards i made the 2D character animation in adobe animate, nothing interesting to show off for that cuz that is all seen in the final cartoon :P

here's an idea i quickly drew for claudia's room as i was trying to figure out colors for it:

do u like the homestar runner reference on the wall i think its pretty awesome

this is the final room without claudia in it, i included a gimmiko poster on the wall cuz zizou voices the crab, and a drawing i had made of icymire previously cuz she provided a fun music track for this cartoon

and that is pretty much my process for making this cartoon!!! its a short one but i like it, i may make more short claudia content in the future, its a fun and quick way to let out a lot of creative energy at once
