The Crow's metamorphosis is no gift. It doesn't carry any virtues with it nor the promise of a brilliant future. It is a curse which brings death and sacrirfice. It's the tortuous task of a cosmic executioner, condemned to repeat again and again it's tragic destiny, always engulfed in the flames of conflict in it's quest to abolish Power.

This is the result of my final project at school, in order to obtain my bachelor's degree in Visual Arts. It is an animation that defines the paraphernalia and cycle of what I call the "Crow Archetype", a fictional archetype that repeats itself in my own microcosm.


The animation focuses on the Original Crow: an ancient sorceress named Hoh, in a distant mythical past in which the relationship between humans and gods hadn't been yet stablished.

So, I've know this animation for long now... Shi-Gu is one of my favorites artists... but after re-watching this for many times, I remembered something, there was this flash game many years ago, you could choose some actions and that pushed you to God or to the Devil... If you go full sided with the Devil you got a bad ending (I do not remember what it was), but if you went full sided with God, you became a puppet, with this red strings attached, so also a bad ending... Now here, in this animation, the first scene with the faded red strings, and afterwards God holding a lot of this strings... man, it triggered the memory of this old flash game inside me... crazy, but i cant find this game anywhere :( ... or maybe I imagined it idk

This is dope! Awesome job. It's weirdness really makes it feel mythical and ancient. Also that deity in the sky looks so grand and otherworldly. Love it.

Shi-Gu responds:

Thanks a lot!

My dreams in a nutshell

Shi-Gu responds:
