Across The River

This is where we reveal our video gaming roots. If this sequence doesn't betray a love of Mario, I don't know what does.


Spooked by the guard, the girl makes her escape.


Her escape is into a stream, bordering the mecha-forest. She leaps into the middle of it, landing on a clockwork lily pad and Super Mario-ing across it. Mecha-frogs ribbit at her and scurry out of the way.


Very basic concept drawing for the lily pad.


On the other side of the stream, the girl finds a trapdoor in the ground. She opens it up and drops down inside.
