Not every shot has to make the final cut; part of the fun of storyboarding (and indie animation) is just experimenting and seeing how different shots would look. These storyboard sketches were done by Ilenia

The evolution of character design for everyone's favourite Anima, Ardor! From a little baby with a backpack, with the power of peanut butter biscuits and self-belief, his design has evolved into a mechanical winged dragon rat, drat? Drat! 🐉🐀

Making the characters pretty is half the battle when coming up with concept art for indie animation; you also have to know how they move. Giuseppe created these model sheets of Fenris to bring her to life with different movements (and a giant jar of peanut butter) 🥜

Indie animation is a process with a lot of steps, starting with workshopping storyboards, featuring traditional sketches by Greta

Fellow animators, how does your storyboarding process look? Oribuddies, are there any ideas in the sketches that you hope to see in the teaser?

A quick run through of Fenris's emotions, including but mostly cheerful, morose, in the middle of eating - she truly is just like us 😌

Another peak behind the curtain, this time lapse was taken by @mela-of.bsky.social as she works on Fen's expressions 🐀 🎨
