This Idea came from the fact that I had an unsuccessful rig and many mishaps while trying to 3D model myself. Funny enough, while I was working on it, I was suffering from an eczema flare that got infected and took months to heal. Since I was so preoccupied with how horrible my skin felt, I realized that the way this character moved was pretty resonant with how I was feeling about my skin in that moment (sensationally and mentally.)

I had this song on repeat during the process of making this and then it clicked in my head, the scratching!! Credits to Portishead. Yes, I want to rip my skin off. yes, my eczema has made me suffer in unconventional ways. Here's a skin animation.
