Mònica had shot to fame earlier this year thanks to her incredible character animation showreel which prominently featured Blender’s very own “Rain” character, eventually leading to her being featured on the popular Cartoon Brew animation news website.

Check out Sprite Fright’s production logs on the Blender Cloud for more of Mònica’s work on the short, and do yourself a favor and rewatch her incredible showreel on the video below:
Cuteness overload on the Spider/CPR shot. I love how one can really feel the life and well-being pop back into the spider. Everything that she does seems to have a certain difficult-to-define “charm” that draws the viewer completely past her technical skill, to the heart of her characters. I suppose that’s the whole point.
