Donaji and the Magical Poncho by Shi-Gu. I'll start by saying that the storytelling is fantastic, it draws you in right from the start and keeps you glued right towards the end. The narrative style reminds me of a blend of the Legend of Zelda and Studio Ghibli films. Charming but not scared to explore dark themes. Same could be said with the style of artwork and use of metamorphosis as well. It's a bit drawn out but it's still a wonderful piece of work that I enjoyed watching. Well done!

[EDIT]
Daily Deviation?! I'm incredibly flattered and grateful for this!
I'm quite glad people has liked the animation so much after all the hard work it implied!
When I got my first DD with Black Feathers I thought I had reached my limit, but getting a second one has showed me that keeping up the hard work will get me even further away on my goals.
Thanks everyone!
During winter, the cold wind called Iztlacoliuhqui, who causes havoc with his tempest at the top of the mountains, is feared by everyone but a little fearless girl named Donaji, whose bravery will make their encounter something unavoidable, decided by fate.
Finally it is here as promised!
Took over a year to finish, between school and this being the first time I work together with voice actors and a musician. It's been a challenging but rewarding experience.

[About the story]
I wrote Donaji's story back in 2011 for a school project and designed the main characters shortly after for another assignment. In 2014, I adapted it into an animated interactive e-book for a contest I didn't win, after which I tried to find a way for it to get published at an editorial, but it didn't work out.
Then in December 2015 I began to work on the animated film version, recycling the original interactive animation's clips and adding whole new sequences.
And now, in 2017 Donaji finally debuts in her original story as a protagonist!
This story is related to my previous film:
This story will continue in the form of a webcomic, in which both characters, Donaji and Itzcacalotl (from Black Feathers) meet each other and set on to a great adventure in Mesoamerica.
You can see a teaser for it after the credits in this animation.
I've been looking forward to this moment for so long that now I don't know what to say about it, so without further ado...
Enjoy and hope you like it!

Esto es lo más bello que he visto en mucho tiempo. Me alegra ver que se tome como inspiración la mitología de nuestra nación.
