012D Animated Shorts
Character-driven short animations, from rough sketches and key poses to finished, expressive movement.
About
A 2D animator bringing characters and ideas to life through movement.
Hi, I'm Akau Anyieth. I'm a 2D animator and visual storyteller who loves bringing characters and ideas to life through movement.
I'm passionate about expressive animation, character-driven stories, and creating visuals that make people feel something.
Akau the Warrior Animation is where I share that work. I'm building toward my own short film, and in the meantime I'm learning everything I can to be the best animator I can be.
