Phoenix Animation | #mystudentspiritさんのイラストまとめ

What would Elijah & Dmitry from #mystudentspirit be like if they switched personalities? 🤔
Leena thinks he'd be some sort of metrosexual-semi-hipster, do programming on the side and probably be addicted to Starbucks. ☕⭐

"This inspired me to do some more developing of the water race and add some magic to their appearance.
I abandoned the restriction of only using blue-green shades of color and instead allowed myself to use any color and shapes. I hope you like what I did here too!" - Tarakanbix

"But what helped me was starting two different biotope aquariums: fresh and saltwater. This inspired me to study marine biofauna. And something that before seemed "cute" or "ordinary" to me sparkled in new colors!"

"Working on water dragons for #NoWayBack has always been the most difficult task for me when contructing the universe. I didn't really understand in what direction to dig and how to make them interesting for myself, as an author... So for a while, they remained on the sidelines".

Old sketches of Ayana. ✏
Yep, in the early stages of the script, she was just a baby! 👶 (And in some variations she didn't even exist...)

"Sometimes I get so engrossed in the process that I completely forget that one of the main characters is... dead. I decided to remind myself.
The main idea was to convey how a person's face changes after death, sometimes making them unrecognisable." - Leena K

The visuals of #NoWayBack comics are truly stunning! 😍

VERY early designs of Elijah & Dmitry!
Leena Kilevaya first created these characters while in university, making #mystudentspirit (more specifically, a trailer for the series) her graduate project. 👻
What do you think of their old designs?! 😍
