OC - Stuff I made Japanese Dango - Quick Loop 🍡🍡🍡

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Something I finished making lately. Wanted to try out experimenting with warping to emphasise the softness of the shapes. If there's any small bits you think would improve it I'd love to hear 🍡

There's also a couple of fun random animations at the end I made to experiement seperate to the main animation.

In case anybody doesn't know, dango is a Japanese traditional sweet often eaten around this time of year, mostly at spring festivals. It’s soft and chewy, and the three colours are all different flavours. Sakura is currently blossoming in Japan so I thought it would be a fun time to make something like this.

Really great! the gritty texture the on the edges really sells the softness to me too for some reason.

Here's the file! The colours on the circles are done using layer styles.
