I was commissioned by MetaZoo games to make a 15 second animated YouTube ad for their trading card game, based around different types of cryptids.
I recreated the card illustration for one of MetaZoo's most central characters, mothman, from scratch for this animation - to have mobile pieces capable of being animated. The card illustrations are done in a watercolor and ink style, which I had to carefully recreate. The illustration I made was rigged using Duik Bassel in Adobe After Effects, and animated so that it swoops over a cityscape and so that several other iconic MetaZoo cards zoom in front of the camera.
