Produced by a single animator, "Watermelon Girl" tells the story of a girl born from a watermelon seed in a departed king's stomach. A stunning journey begins, with an art style inspired by hand-made arts and crafts.

A quest to find a new home unfolds into a heartwarming tale, where Watermelon Girl discovers the true joy of giving and building community.

What an amazing accomplishment! I think many of us want to create something like this when we start learning 3D but the persistence to get there is something few possess! Congrats

[blenderguru]

Congrats on finishing this! Such a huge undertaking. And the visuals are fantastic.

[Smeaf]

This one's for the history books📚
So proud of you man! 🥳

[sabaparveen]

Watching a movie like this made by a single animator from raw story to end finish result, makes me so happy and motivates us all to start working on our stories, this film is so well made, and so mesmerizing and whimsical to watch, i hope you keep on bringing your imagination into reality, keep up the good work buddy.

First Gruff and now Watermelon Girl. I hope this marks the start of an animation renaissance

[GlebAlexandrov]

Such a stellar work, very pretty, nostalgic, full of feeling! I showed it to Lev and he absolutely loved it. ❤

This was incredibly well made. I hope people notice the care that was put into it and are inspired to create something of their own

10/10. Years of hard work and something that people will really appreciate. Was a great little film, and no doubt it will be continued. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[grabbitt]

Well done. An incredible achievement ❤

[pieminator]

While watching I kept forgetting this film was made by ONE person, not a studio.

Really enjoyed this one, and very glad for you for finally finishing your film... well done!

[Camadash]

Imagine the amount of blood, sweat, emotions, events, blender versions, and effort that has happened in 5 years being shown in a single video, a truly incredible conclusion to all your 3d tutorials! Definitely earned a sub and like!

[ranjitsutar]

Looks like everyone from leading blender teachers are praising this film... It's really great to see this

[Booknookisland]

The short film teaches us that everything happens for a reason, it teaches us to believe in own judgement, kindness, friendship.
In one word it's Marvelous✨

[HarnaiDigital]

This is absolute perfection of a Short film. The Cinematography, sound design, animation art style, the score and specially the Story. It was worth waiting for 5 years for this masterpiece.

Keeping your relation to Blender aside, even the script of this movie is so good. The visuals are amazing, obviously. But, the message of the movie, the dialogue, the emotions are just top notch. This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Your effort really shows. Watermelon Girl is my new hero. Beautiful Work, sir. Truly amazing.

[Peepotan]

Finally, less than 24h until release! The most awaited adventure since Lord of the Rings.

[CrossMindStudio]

Watching this was truly delightful. I must say you are great storyteller.

[savannahXYZ]

It's always such a delight to see your work, SouthernShotty! The amount of love and passion that went into making this is extremely evident. Congratulations on the huge release and I can't wait to watch as this film takes off!

Reading all the comments feels like a Blender Family Reunion. It just shows what a loved and appreciated member of the community you are. Thanks for everything! Great production, through and through.
