The Story of Arcane Light
In the verdant kingdom of Wilushia, hidden in the shrouded town of Ambar, lives a young woman named Bris and a man named Astalda, two folks who long to live peaceful lives. However, war breaks out between two countries overseas, the frigid kingdom of Aulurria and the volcanic kingdom of Cratorus, the former’s prince having gone missing and the latter blamed. King Riobard chose to remain neutral in the war, accepting refugees from both sides. However, tension begins to boil as hostility rises between refugees and Wilushian citizens begin to feel overwhelmed. Get a view of King Riobard reaching a hand out, and then a view of citizens from both sides glaring at each other while Wilushians are distressed. Bris chooses to distance herself from it all, but everything changes one fateful day when she meets both a befuddled Cratorian mercenary named Macil and a curious Aulurrian mage named Fea. Along with Astalda, the four’s destinies become intertwined, as they slowly begin to learn about a hidden force lurking behind the scenes.
This project took about a week to complete. Most of the process was creating the illustrations to showcase within the teaser. Animation was very limited and mostly relied on camera pans and tweening. The most animation was frame by frame for the fire.
Voice lines were provided by myself.
