Nice! :) Curious what advantage you see in group outlines vs. the stacked look?

Works really well! Squash and stretch sometimes feels like a secret weapon :)

At least he's a good boy and embraces swimming. Ours is like: "What can I do?? It's soooo hot! WATER?? Eww, IT WET!"

I switched to Krita and haven’t looked back since. I’m a huge fan of clean, beautiful interfaces and with just a few small tweaks, Krita can look and feel even more modern than Photoshop. I recommend checking out wojtryb's channel.

4/4 Be lazy. Take smart shortcuts. Make it look great for the camera.
That’s all that matters.

Kai🔸 @kaimuri.com · Apr 4

3/4 This mindset changed how I work:
• Don’t obsess over perfection no one will ever see.
• Break rigs if you need to.
• Think like a 2D artist—just with 3D tools.

2/4 What looks perfect in the final frame often falls apart the moment you move the camera.
Even big studios like Pixar and Disney sculpt scenes just for that one shot.

In CG Animation, everything is fake.
Not because it’s bad—because it’s efficient.
