I made this animation of Anya Melfissa resting at a timefall shelter using Bricklink Studio, Blender, and Unreal Engine 5. It took me a total of four days to finish this project.
This animation is dedicated to Anya Melfissa and is inspired by Death Stranding, one of the most immersive and beautiful games I've ever played. Going on long walks is something I enjoy doing in real life. Mountaineering and hiking are activities I don't get to do a lot and they are integral parts of Death Stranding which captivate me aside from the lore and music.
Last year I recall briefly watching Anya Melfissa play Death Stranding. It was a laidback, cozy, and relaxing stream to watch. This year she continued playing Death Stranding again. I had this idea of making Death Stranding themed animation based on an artwork of Anya Melfissa in Sam Bridges' attire created by Pako Sun https://twitter.com/pakosun/status/1502596193934749702
