Great Style
I love the look of this. The design, shadow, all of it looks great. Simple story with a sudden unexpected twist. Great emotion on the characters too. Reminds me of the animations I used to see on "liquid television" or "cartoon sushi" back on MTV in the 90s.
If I had to suggest anything at all, I'd maybe tone down the "twitch" of the characters when they're still but as that's an artistic choice, to each his own.
Excellent short. Looking forward to more of your work.
