Glassy Ocean
Kujira no Chouyaku
Time has frozen in place. A massive whale emerges from a perfectly still ocean and floats gracefully through the sky for half a day. What makes this piece so striking is how the artist handles the visuals—the ocean and glaciers are rendered in 3D, showing off that glossy digital look, but the people, whale, and ships are all hand-drawn. That contrast between the two styles pulls you into this completely different world. It's essentially a poem told through animation, a genuinely fantastical creation. The whole thing was clearly a massive undertaking, but it absolutely paid off.
