迎麒麟 Yíng Qílín - Qilin Arrival - Animated Film Project n Concepts

I am STILL trying to raise more funds for this project. I have already acquired the software I need and have spent over a year and a half learning them. I will begin more focused studies by winter.

I need to get a Cintiq.

I want the final film to be free for all people to watch.

I am still working on developing skills, software knowledge, focused practice, and world building for this. I would like it to be a short film, for it to have music custom made, and possibly put it in film festivals. I expect it will take several years to do this.

Vintage Concept art. Many kids of unicorns in China. I drew this based on all kinds I personally witnessed while living there several times.

Concept revisited 2017 FOR ANIMATION

This one is a study of the characters and I have been working on multiple versions since the summer. It's not quite the way I want it yet, but it's getting closer. This one will be a study in slow downtempo animation, layered animation, and MOOD.
