An animation redux.
Current Progress
At the moment, this is what I have done so far. I’m at the halfway point for the linework and added voice over and audio. I’m far from done, however, since I intend to continue with the animation and complete it entirely after graduation and some time before the end of 2024.
If you wish to follow along with my own journey in completing this animation, follow me at @abz_solute_art on Instagram, which is where I’ll be posting progress as well as updates and other content surrounding Oliana.
What is it about?
The animation stars, well, Oliana, a pharmacist’s apprentice who was sent on a short quest to look for a mysterious creature reported to have exemplary healing abilities. The quest ends up being more strenuous than she thought, when she ends up having to chase said creature through the woods.
In fact, this animation is actually a redone and upgraded version of a previous animatic I did for a class final back in 2021, featuring the same character and storyline (as shown on the left). I’ve honestly planned on giving the animation another go anyways, so I thought making it my thesis project would be perfect!

Abigail Wilson
I’m an Interactive Multimedia Major at The College of New Jersey with a passion for illustration, voice acting, character design, concept art, 3D modeling, animation and video game development (so a lot of things.) I intend to keep improving the skills I’ve learned over the past few years in hopes of working in either the gaming or animation industry professionally. I’ve been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember and I have no plans on stopping anytime soon!
Along with this thesis project, I’m working together with Damaged Sandwich as a 3D modeler on their project, “Octoslayer” (placeholder name.)
