The fantastic game, Dungeons and Dragons, has recently found its way into my life, and I am so glad it has! Ever since discovering D&D, it has been consuming my life in the best of ways. I wanted to create a short animation that encapsulated my passion for the game. Roll for initiative and let the combat begin!

Sketches
Wanting to practice my 2D animation skills, I illustrated and animated a sword-fighting adventurer. Since dice are such a significant aspect of D&D, I knew I wanted to incorporate a D20 somehow. After exploring a few ideas, I soon discovered how to combine these two ideas into a fun little looping animation.
The Solution

In the end, I had my sword-fighting adventurer jumping atop a D20, and swinging around like the hero that they are. I had a ton of fun creating this short animation and I learned a lot along the way!
