Now Upon a Time : Lil Ruby is a story telling project with the Martin Agency. The story reworks old fairytales with a modern twist and an empowering message.

In this 3D animation sample trailer for Now Upon a Time, I created matte paintings for the 3D assets and illustrated + designed the title pages to convey the environment and vibe of the setting.
