Tatsumilky Progress so far + Magical C Storyboards & Animatic
🕑 Added 2021-08-21 05:14:56 +0000 UTCTotally lost track of time getting to a decent stopping point. Lots to cover this week so let's get to it.
First up here's the video I promised covering all of the Tatsumaki edit so far before calling it for the month. Check it out with the password: Tatsuprog.
I was sorta hoping I could have gotten atleast one more segment done in time, but then it turned out in that last portion I managed to color that they had to go and change the shading on Tatsumaki from the shadow cast by the kaiju guy's fireball, and if you had to go back and check that that was really in there too it would make me feel better for missing it. If you spot anything else I missed feel free to let me know. Since the last two portions shouldn't take a full month's time to color on their own I'll have time to go back and fix any minor details.
In between working on that one, I've continued figuring out the animation I'm doing for Corivas. First minor update is there were some slight adjustments to the character design from last week, mostly in the final hair design.
With that done I started figuring out the storyboards for the animation. Since it's not an edit I'm gonna have to be figuring out all the posing and timing myself, and I wanted to really try for some fairly elaborate stuff compared to what I'm normally used to doing.

Probably my biggest time practicing with this kind of movement was when I did the fox Lucy edit, and I learned from that one that to make motion look more dynamic there has to be a higher percentage of keyframes to in-betweens, so I kept that in mind when making the animatic. It's still pretty rough since most of my time was going towards Tatsumaki, but I hope the I still got across the basic idea, and I'm gonna start doing cleanup making the storyboards into proper keyframes next.
Lastly I wanted to talk more on the voting process sort of. I don't really know if I'll have reached the stretch goal I set by the time the voting starts up again, but in case I do, I'm wondering now if that plan should also be adjusted along with the whole new voting process. Basically my plan when that stretch goal was reached was that I'd be working on the one I pick as a second winner from the monthly suggestions in place of these secondary projects I've been doing.
What I'm wondering though is should that maybe be handled some other way. Like, would you all prefer if I kept the choosing of ideas entirely vote based, or if my choosing the idea myself isn't the issue, then maybe instead of choosing the second idea and it possibly taking away time that could be spent working on the voted idea, maybe I should alternate each month between holding a vote to decide that month's project and then next month one be choosing from idea suggestions. If this week's post wasn't gonna be a video type post, I might have made a poll for that, but it's probably gonna take more than a week to decide on that.

I'm not sure if he's actually taking commissions right now.

If you want him to put more time and effort into this then make it into an actual commission. It seems you want to continue this and that's fine. Though allow others to put forth their ideas, and down the road you can post again, it's not like it's gonna be forever but it's only fair to the rest of us.

I agree I think you picking one is a good idea, and i'd be up for it alternating every other month or so. Though I do think that the one you pick ideally shouldn't be from the person who one the poll last month, which i think would be fair.

It really does lol XD

OK I love the progress and the storyboard here but I feel a tad bit conflicted. On one hand I would like the Tatsumilky project completed idk whether next month or the month after. On the other hand I feel like some folk here don't like me resubmitting the idea in polls so I'm very conflicted atm ๐ค

The funny thing is if the very end went a little bit further I could imagine there being like a logo pop-up for a milk commercial just because the bones are still there drink your milk strong bones lol

If I am to be honest here I like the idea of you choosing a second idea from the monthly votes. The reason I think taht is a good course of action is cause as we are all aware just as an example cow tfs have kinda been becoming a bit of a winner winner chicken dinner over and over so it would do some good for you to take a look and to see what project might interest you or see what catches your eyeโฆ although if you did do thatโฆ I think it would be best then to do like every other month voting option then so that way you can take that month and the next one to work on the two ideasโฆ I know itโs a bit of a time spam but I think I can speak for everyone when I say we donโt want you to over do it and just take your time. We all know you do incredible animations and we know the process takes a long time soโฆ. But hey thatโs all just my thoughts on the matter.
