Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
WeTransfer commissioned me to create, design, and animate new illustrations for their file transfer product. They were drawn to my personal illustration style blending 3D and 2D digital painting, without a specific concept in mind. I proposed the concept of using feet, which was for me fun, bold, and impactful, which they enthusiastically approved and gave me great creative freedom.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
I used Cinema 4D, Photoshop, and After Effects.

How were your illustrations used:
My animated illustrations pop up in the WeTransfer product everytime you share a file through their platform. I designed 9 illustrations with different uses, to express: - transfer completed - error message - passport protect - transfer expired - transfer blocked - upselletc
