Phantom Lullaby is a short animated film for a poem by Elise Kelly.
I started by planning and sketching the main composition and flow in Adobe Photoshop. Proceeded to making an Animatic in Adobe Animate, and then got to the fun part: hand drawing all of the elements with 6-8b pencils, scanning, and moving them together in a mixture of classic & cutout animation with Adobe After Effects to make the final result.
I’m an illustrator, animator, comic book artist and graphic designer. I work in digital & traditional techniques, especially ink, watercolors and photoshop.
A series of five illustrations inspired by the following stories: • The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka • The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde • The Viy by Nikolai Gogol • House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe • Lost Hearts by M.R. James
Made as part of an illustration class guided by Yirmi Pinkus
