This amazingly cool, murky action short called "The Harrowing" is actually an ad created by Elastic for Riot Games' League of Legends. The characters in the short are created in the style of marionette puppets, and it's so cool watching them fight and wander around in this dark and haunting environment. The animation in this gloomy tale is absolutely beautiful, and I really hope you like it.
