Our pilot features a hybrid style of animation inspired by Spiderverse. The bodies are animated in 3D at a lower frame rate, while the facial features are drawn over to give the characters a more exaggerated/cartoony expression than 3D rigs are capable of producing.

In order to achieve a hand drawn aesthetic, we needed to redo all of Aya's textures and make some tweaks to her hair. Instead of using a particle system, the split ends and curls were meticulously placed to give her more of a hand drawn silhouette from all angles. How'd we do? Like her new look?

Our show is about two strangers, Aya & Zed, on a quest to challenge the seven kings of Nadir for their coveted artifacts. If they succeed, they may find a way to reach Zenith: a giant floating island home to the legendary King of Kings!

NEW ART DROP!
We asked @mastrocecchi.bsky.social earlier this year to draw these awesome expression sheets for Aya & Zed! The ranges on these two have been instrumental when drawing our storyboards. Thanks again for the wonderful work, Mastro!!!

ZENITH was widely inspired by Dragon Ball. As a nod to Toriyama-sensei, we replicated this pose for our latest Aya art! If she ever met Goku, she'd definitely want to learn the Kamehameha!
(Oh and fight him, of course)

ZENITH uses a hybrid-method of animation. The character models are built in 3D and animated in a limited animation style. Facial features are drawn over the models to give them a more cartoony expressions than rigs normally provide. Then it's all composited and given effects in AE!
