HELLO! \°_°/
Here's my entry for the #characterchallenger @Rive x @Contra challenge. This character was developed for the website vovy ai
He's a very friendly robot who feels like a companion and will accompany you as you learn and get introduced to the world of code.
Vovy is one of those characters you see and want for yourself.
Friendly, patient, and fun.
My process always starts with a sketch.
Node connections + bones and shapes in Feather, clip + draw order is the combination to achieve volume and a faster animation flow.
Adding to this is the use of solos for a better combination of facial expressions.
The animation loops are supported by small animations (breakdowns) to enrich the transitions from one state to another.
Playing with this character and his rigging was a lot of fun.
If you see him around, go up to him and say, "Hello, Vovy!"
this is so fun! make sure to include your Rive invite link or embedded URL for your build too :)
I like it. I have a question: do you think Rive is similar to After effects?
You can probably achieve similar things with both tools, but I think each has a different approach. I wouldn't say they're similar.
love this
😍 🙌
so cool 🙌 🔥
🙌 😊
Outstanding
🙌 😊 🙌 :
Well done 🔥
Thank u!...🙌
Very smooth, detailed, and cute =)
Thank U! 🙌
Vovy has the kind of personality that makes coding approachable.
Starting from a physical sketch and ending up with a fully rigged Rive character — that process alone is worth studying 👀 "If you see him around, say Hello Vovy!" got me 😄 Friendly robots who teach code are exactly what the world needs 🔥
You did an absolutely incredible job from start to finish. I keep watching it over and over =) It's absolutely stunning! Gradients!! 😍
Thanks Olga, I try my best. I'm so glad you like it. 🙌 😍
great job fonesca!

Doppel — Threat Graph
Making complex cybersecurity concepts clear through motion.
For the Doppel Threat Graph product film, I contributed to the visual development and animation. The product connects digital threats across multiple channels, revealing how individual signals form part of a coordinated attack campaign.
The challenge was to translate this technical functionality into a clear visual narrative—showing why the connections between threats matter and how they help reveal the bigger picture.
My work covered storyboard and motion exploration, animation, and scene refinement throughout the feedback process. The focus was on introducing information progressively and guiding attention toward the relationships central to the product’s value.
The result is an animated product film that introduces Doppel Threat Graph and makes its core functionality easier to understand. The project demonstrates how motion design can bring clarity to a complex software product.

That's unbelievable great job 🎉🎉🔥🔥
BEYOND THE FRAME 🎩✨
Three peculiar stories. One wonderfully distorted reality.
A suspiciously curious cat, an eccentric family with secrets dating back to 1892, and a collection of memories coming together to tell their own STORY.
For this project, I combined surreal AI-generated visuals with manually edited camera shakes, white flashes, music synchronisation and carefully timed transitions using the InVideo Editor.
Halfway through, my AI credits ran out — so I completed the remaining effects manually.
Apparently, even artificial intelligence has a budget. 😉
