Simple ideas often make the best illustrations.
It had been a while since I last drew, and when I finally sat down, my mind went blank. When that happens, I pick something simple and a little cliché and see what I can do with it.
This time it was an apple. Then a worm popped out to say hi!
The pink worm against the green and blue is a great color pop. The apple with the missing center is a fun touch.
Second #Rive animation locked in! 🏰✨
For this build, I designed and animated a gothic portcullis interactive UI element triggered by a glowing gemstone mechanism.
What I focused on for this experiment:
End-to-end vector design in Rive: Built entirely from scratch inside Rive to dust off my vectoring skills and master its native pathing/drawing tools.
Interactive State Machines: Configured the click logic using listener triggers to handle the open/close state loop smoothly.
Gothic UI Aesthetics: Balanced heavy metallic structures with subtle vector lighting to keep that dark fantasy feel.
Still diving deeper into interactive vector motion every day! What do you all think of the timing and state transitions?

Cool gothic style!
