Behind the Winners: XPPen's Impact on Creativity

Sasapitt Rujirat (Healthcare in 1702)

Artist Sasapitt Rujirat has made a significant mark in the Reallusion 2024 Animation at Work Contest, securing multiple awards, including the Best XPPen Use award for his project "Healthcare in 1702". In this work, Rujirat used the XPPen Artist 12 (2nd Gen) tablet to bring his animation to life.

As an independent animator, Rujirat undertakes the entire creative process, from cleanup to coloring, which has allowed him to cultivate a distinct sketch style that resonates with audiences. When sharing another award-winning work, "Lucky Planet", he credits his XPPen tablet for cultivating his signature sketch style: "My XPPen tablet handles all my sketching effortlessly, and honestly, this style has grown on me. It feels more relatable and visually appealing, especially to younger audiences." Post-competition, he continues to develop his project into an animated series, driven by the belief that "animation carries the warmth to connect people worldwide."
