We’re still pushing through the last tasks, heading into Christmas at full pace.
Work goes on, but the season is already here.

✨ Creativity grows where people move forward together
[English below]
Giữa những bản vẽ đang dang dở và những chuyển động chưa hoàn chỉnh, có một buổi tối mà mọi người chỉ cần ở đó, cùng nhau.
Một buổi sinh nhật nhỏ tại Otsu Labs,
không để đánh dấu thời gian,
mà để nhắc rằng mỗi hành trình sáng tạo đều được xây dựng từ những con người thật - cùng chia sẻ một hướng đi chung.
Và đôi khi, chính những khoảnh khắc giản dị như thế lại nuôi dưỡng sự sáng tạo một cách bền bỉ nhất.
-
Between unfinished sketches and motions still taking shape, there was a simply moment where we spent time together.
A small birthday celebration at Otsu Labs,
not meant to be loud or ceremonial,
but to remind that every creative journey is shaped by real people moving in the same direction, at the same pace.
Sometimes, it’s these moments that quietly sustain creativity over time.

20/12/2025

“Gió đông” tràn về, càng không lề mề. Những cộng sự của Otsu vẫn đang dồn lực cho những khâu hoàn thiện cuối cùng trước thềm cuối năm.

Bởi vì làm việc chất thì chơi cũng mới chất.

The festive spirit has been lighting up Otsu studio lately. We’re ready for the season, while putting the final touches on our year-end deliveries.

Strong work comes first and the joy follows right away.

In Nova Thera 3, a 3D background was built for the Roothome Bar fight, locking the camera angle and position from frame one.

The hand-drawn action drops on top without a single slip out of frame - everything stays sharp, tight and locked in.

The Silver Boy vs. Ronin fight then comes out fast, chaotic and all-out intense.

In Nova Thera 3, Roothome Bar is built with a full medieval-inspired interior.

The assets lean rustic, warm-toned and worn-in.
A warm-on-warm setup that gives the space its earthy vibe.

Clear visual read that makes the bar pop against the snowy backdrop outside.

Produced by Otsu Labs & Pixelmon

Silver Boy’s backflip is fast, but it stays grounded by design.
The 3D background swings with the fight, while the 2D animation rides clean on top.

One mid-flip touchpoint locks the camera, giving a timing motion snap. One controlled frame that keeps the motion believable.

For La Reina: The Crowd Magnet, we reworked a 3D in-game character into a 2D design for a cartoon-driven trailer.
Bold comic energy, still grounded and believable.

Vibrant hues - Persian pink, magenta red, yellow-green paired with hand-painted textures to define the fighters’ fearless, heroic presence in the ring.

Not our first game trailer, but the Mexican-inspired visual language brought a fresh charge to the process.

Produced by Otsu Labs & Aether Studios

Phía sau đời sống nghề diễn hoạt:
Sông có khúc, người có lúc hài lúc haizz. Nên tội gì mà không cười lên!
-
Little reminder: Life is too short and of course, us theartists have “haha” days and *sobs in silence days too.
So why not laugh while we’re at it?
