Texture inspirtion

When deciding on the visuals of the animation the first style that came to mind was cel shading.

Cel shading is a technique often used in animation (particularly Japanese-style manga and anime). Cel shading is a method that is used to replicated the appearance of a hand-drawn image (as seen traditional comics). This is achieved by altering the way light falls across a 3D model.

With over all visual style of animation, I mainly took inspiration from ‘Bendy and the Ink Machine’.   I took a little inspiration with how lighting is used in the show Arcane and I liked how the characters in the show RWBY were all outline in black and ended up doing something of a mix between RWBY and Bendy in my final rendering.
