Character design

The character is a thin girl with freckles. She wears baggy clothes to cover up her "imperfect" figure. The freckles highlight why the protagonist is insecure about her appearance. Because she does not have a figure and appearance that conform to popular aesthetics, the character has been living under pressure, and she almost forgets to accept her imperfections.

Explore the combination of mosaic style and gif animation
Through these two mosaic gif animation projects, we will explore deformation animation (uniform girl and siren)

Uniform girl

After exploring the laws of flame movement (Figure 1), I began to try to combine character dynamics with deformation (Figures 2&3).
The character's dynamics included jumping, spinning, and running.

Siren

In this gif, looping animation is explored (Figure 1), and deformation animation is combined to complete it. Based on the character of Siren, a deformation gif animation is created again (Figure 2)
