I often think about ways I can use my character designs and artwork for animation—and in the past have even tried my hand at a few short animated videos using both 2d and 3d techniques.
So, I'm always on the look-out for outstanding and inspiring animations by others.
Fortunately—YouTube's "suggestion" algorithm has finally picked up on my interest and recently has been feeding my channel with a lot of new and interesting 2d and 3d efforts.
Today, YT suggested "X-STORY" by Vitaliy Shushko—and I must say this one completely pushed every button on my mental list of "must haves" for a successful animation:
Compelling characters, great color choices, awesome sound and music, fluid movement, tasty backgrounds, and an engaging story, to name a few.
X-Story has all that and much more—and throws in a satisfying plot twist at the end—and you'll find a video of it attached below.

It's done in an Anime/video game style created in Japan—which I kinda over-looked while it became hugely popular with sooooo many young artists I know.
In fact, when I'm out sketching and they approach me and share their sketchbooks—you can see that influence all over their work.
Maybe I just didn't' get that style before—or X-Story just does it in a way that suits me—but either way I was engaged by this animation from beginning to end.

A note before you choose to watch the video below:
There is some cartoon violence and scenes that aren't meant for young peeps or others who might not want to be exposed to that kind of thing. So please keep that in mind.

OK—so you've read enough of my ramblings—let's get to the video!
Enjoy!
Thanks as always for stopping by.
Look for new original artwork soon.........
