Pose test for a new video I'm working on. Animation is still rough, just want to make sure he's working properly

So cool seeing all these backgrounds fully developed! I did a lot of work refining the look of the speakeasy from the original pilot, and the bg artists did a great job bringing it to life

I recognize some of those models, great work :)

So excited for you guys :)

They definitely make you work for it, that's for sure

Shoulders are always a pain, especially with bigger characters. You pretty much always need corrective blendshapes or something to make them work

Not being able to see his mouth really adds to the expression :)

Happy Birthday :)

I had boobs bouncing in pretty much every other shot, so this was really just a good way to ensure equal representation

Thanks :)

Alex Henderson @artofalexh.bsky.social · 15d

I'm glad people are catching that reference

Alex Henderson @artofalexh.bsky.social · 15d

Thanks, I'm not sure when it will release, but I'll post about it when it does

Alex Henderson @artofalexh.bsky.social · 15d

Some has to do it, for the good of humanity :)

I animated a crotch bulge for the first time because I thought it made the scene funnier. And I was right, it did make the scene funnier.

I also finally finalized this scene, which means I finished a whole music video in 4 months, a new record!

I love all the little background characters

Very cool, I thought it was a pen nib at first, though I guess it could be used as one

Thanks, I like working in ultra wide screen to get shots like that. And yeah, it's the best way for spotting things you want to change

Alex Henderson @artofalexh.bsky.social · 18d

Cool design, what's that on his trunk?

It's genuinely so sad they haven't added this to Switch Online after all these years

More comp work for the animated video I'm working on. I'm still polishing things and what better way is there to spot errors then to post in online?

I keep things on a million layers, so everything is editable

Alex Henderson @artofalexh.bsky.social · 19d

That's a cool idea, I might give that a try if I have the time. Maybe not have the effect being so extreme, but maybe a more subtle shift in hue would work
