I recently rekindled my passion for art and illustration after years of neglecting my skills. Inspired by a few pieces of artwork, such as one of the games from my childhood, I decided to create art based on the Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. (Spoilers!)

To bring my illustration to life, I used Adobe Fresco, which offers an impressive range of live brushes that allow me to simulate watercolor techniques and achieve a rich, textured coloring effect.

Day 5 of my Personal Daily Creative Challenge This one was a bit of a shift from design into building. I explored using Claude Code to turn the Demetra concept into a faux 3D interactive asset. Still early, but it’s been interesting using AI as a creative collaborator rather than just a tool, especially for translating ideas into something interactive much faster.

Created this animation using Rive Scripting. I wanted to go beyond flat 3D-looking shapes and build a custom 3D form with gradient textures, also generated through scripting. Small deliberate practice project, but a useful one.

Hey guys, I'm new here. My name is Enoch, and I'm excited about creating visuals and getting my first job hire!!!😄😄 (I'm 16😭😭) I make motion graphics edits, videos and brand adverts, using Adobe After Effects as my primary tool. I can also help with animations for YouTube videos and illustrations too. Here is a rough sample of a little something I just finished. What do you think?
