Concept art of Final Year Project - an animated short that follows our protagonist's dress up for an event filled with suspense and twists. It's a short film inspired Satoshi Kon's storytelling and a study into combining the use of 2D character animation with 3D environment background.
Some initial character designs during the early phases off brainstorming
The final character sheet used for reference - it presents an elegant figure with a modest outfit that also accentuates her body confidently.
A face and expression sheet with multiple angles for reference as well

A quick render of the environment during the early stages of background designs to visualize the space needed for the animation and a floorplan of the apartment used for the making of the 3D asset
A quick render of the room with toon shader in Maya; most item in the room is modelled in Maya with some minor assets used being from sketchfab
Some render test to experiment with the lighting and see if the textures' design are interacting well within the scene
These are some of the final rendered shots of the scene that is later used in the animation
