Yuk! is a grungy, green, mixed-media visual pack built around a toxic waste-inspired aesthetic and a character I call Ms. Yuk — my 3D girlfriend with a “Yuk” sticker for a head.

Ms.Yuk was created with Blender by kitbashing a body model to a Mr.Yuk Puck-head I made in Illustrator. The animations were also made in blender with some rigging assistance w/ Mixamo. From there, I brought the scenes into After Effects to build out the final visuals, compositing the character with background elements, additional source footage, and graphic textures. I also used After Effects to touch up and stylize the character and apply the mixed-media paper treatment, giving the footage its grungy, printed and slightly imperfect look.

The result is a collection of character-driven loops centered around Ms. Yuk, with a mix of green textures, graphic backgrounds, paper imperfections, and layered animation.

Suggested uses:
-Use as standalone visuals
-Add threshold effect, for a grungier black and white style
-Layer and blend with each other create chaotic, cohesive collages
