This was my very first time working directly with Envar Studios, and it was a true joy to bring this beautiful illustration to life for their upcoming game "Witchspire." For this project, I was responsible for animating the final key art used in the official trailer and promotional videos, delivering two versions: one with a static camera and another with parallax movement to create depth and atmosphere.
