Sarita Chen – Final Project

For my project I made an interactive character that responds to 3 prompts. Because my major interest in animation is 2D animation, I really enjoyed the walking assignment we did with the walking frames and getting the character to walk and follow the mouse. I wanted to base my project on that assignment so I drew the image frames and animated them using code. The character is Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender which is a Netflix only series that I watched over the summer and really enjoyed :).
