Sentience is the ability to feel things, and in animation, is conveyed through the use of living and moving backgrounds. I really like Hieronymus Bosch's work, which utilises sentience to create unnerving and sinister paintings. I also like the stop-motion world of Coraline, where the garden is full of life and moving plant forms that light up. I'm going to use these as inspiration to make my own 4-6 image looped background sequence, which my sock character can live in.
I added the snake to a 2D drawn dark, forest background, which I think fits well with its fierce personality. There is a lot of mystery and intrigue to the forest, in a similar way to Bosch's work. I am pleased with the motion (especially the use of easy ease) and seamlessness of the loop. More work could be done with lighting and shadows though to make the snake appear as if it's actually in the scene.
