The Gem of Alukar - An Animated Short Film

For a school project, we were required to make a computer animation showcasing an enchanted forest in some way. The time limit was 2 minutes, and there had to be talking animals, magical plants, and some kind of hidden treasure. I decided to put this all together to make this animation - the Gem of Alukar - because it seemed like fun to go overboard on the project. I took a lot of inspiration from the Netflix show Arcane, as well as Across the Spiderverse and Into the Spiderverse, to influence the visuals and the 2D hand-drawn effects. In the end, it seemed worthy of an upload, so here it is; hope you enjoyed!
