A project from my portfolio for college application. Character designs + storyboard of a fight scene b/w them + a still frame (very rushed) from the opening scene. The story is set during the Republican era of China. It’s about a boy from a poor village, who makes a living as a demon hunter, who is hired to kill a fox spirit disguised as an opera performer, unaware of the fact that she is actually a protector spirit of his village. My idea is that the village is terrorized by a mob, who owns the theatre the fox spirit works at. The fox is there because she’s waiting for a chance to assassinate the mob leader. I guess the mob leader knew so he hired the demon hunter? Idk it kinda doesn’t make sense lol

#Btw the demon hunter’s name is Chestnut (栗子) because his color scheme reminds me of a chestnut #Lmao the storyboard & still frame look so rough cause I had to rush both to get done before the due date #The style was inspired by old Chinese animation but also new stuff like Scissor Seven & Luo Xiaohei (mostly the fight scene)#Working on this was a lot of fun and agony at the same time #I think I’ll still work on stuff related to this story cause I genuinely like it and the characters I made for it #oc #my art #chinese opera
