Bizarre Running Animation Mixing Paper-Like Texture & 3D

Jump into the atmosphere of odd retro cartoons with animator Lucas Toboggan’s unusual project – a 2D man running around a 3D environment. 

The protagonist’s paper-like texture was created in Photoshop, and the spinning world around him is there thanks to Blender. The meaning of this mix of 2D and 3D is up for interpretation, but the gait was inspired by Keep On Truckin’, an old cartoon by Robert Crumb.

Toboggan has an interesting style, which you can enjoy on his Reddit or Instagram. The animations will definitely remind you of old-school cartoons and capture your attention if you’re into this stuff.
