An artefact with a heartbeat must be important. Now should the creature decide to approach or walk away? Is it drawing the creature in or warning it to stay away? This was a fun project. Creating the solid, sea like rock which holds the artefact gave me the chance to add mist on the base of the cold glass like rock. The heavy breathing animation gives the impression of rushed, nervous, uncertain tension as the artefact's light pulses in front of our character.
