An original character I’ve been working on for the past month.
The main idea was to combine the Ghibli style with watercolor.
I spent most of the time creating suitable ‘cartoon’ materials and lighting, which helped achieve a 2D-like effect.

Outstanding! Immensely well done.
Two things though: On some shots her left eyeball is pointing in a very unnatural direction (I’m pretty positive no human could ever push their eye’s apple that far towards either corner of their eye).
The other thing is imho it would be better if there was always a highlight in either eye. They immediately look dead otherwise.
I remember reading on FX-Guide some anecdote from someone involved with making miniature for whichever JurassicPark movie it was. The gist of what they said was they struggled with making the eyes look right, until they eventually incorporated little steel balls (like from a ball breaing) into them, which provided a visible highlight.

Ahh you are absolutely right. The worst thing is that in the early version the reflections in eyes were visible all the time, but stupid me decided to turn them off 
Wow, that is fantastic! Great work! One of the best of that style I’ve ever seen.

The 60fps cough me off guard 
. Gives it a life-like movement look; but with watercolors. Great work!

Personally, I’m okay with “the lack of catch-light” when the character’s eyes are plainly in the shade of her hat.
Meanwhile: this is an astonishingly successful venture. The character has personality, and the poses are well-chosen. The animation depicts a very believable person, often in subtle ways.
