I did some 3D art. Any thoughts?

Saw a short video with 2D mesh deform animation today. And got curious if I can make something like that in Blender instead of Spine.
Turns out that I can

It's a very crude example, ofc, made within 1h or so, without preparing or cutting the image beforehand.
Maybe later I'll find time to make something like that with proper attention. Was pretty fun~
