Introducing "Rasthof Abfahrt" - my second animation in my "Rasthof" themed series.
For the 2023 version of Art Basel Miami, I was invited by ArtInnovation to exhibit one of my artworks in their group show, which takes place on a huge LED screen driven around by a boat on the Miami waterways.
"Get ready, wanderers! Rasthof Abfahrt, your ultimate pit stop for gearing up for the wildest adventures! No matter where you're kickstarting your journey, we've got the remedy for those pre-trip jitters - your favorite anxiety medications! Grab 'em right here, mix 'em up with the grooviest astral coffee, and you're primed for a ride down the Astralbahn! Fasten your seatbelts, it's gonna be a tubular trip!"
The complete artwork was created in Procreate on the iPad Pro 12 to achieve a distinctive 2D look. These layers were then imported into After Effects to construct the main scene. Since I did not want to utilize 3D for this artwork I decided to draw the character frame by frame in RoughAnimator and later imported and fine-tuned in After Effects.
