Retro Anime-Style Controller Blender Animation

3D NPR Artist Virendra Kumar aka CGDASH, known for his fantastic 2D-like Blender animations, recently shared his latest work, featuring a charming D-pad animation styled after '90s anime. The color work is stunning, and the use of Grease Pencil and Inverted Hull adds a great feel to the line quality.

As always, the artist showcased a time-lapse of the scene-building process and also shared that he was inspired by this album cover:
