Finishing out this piece with a mild post-production post-mortem. The WIPs file is in the attachments below. It has every little step and misstep that I remembered to screenshot for "NNN: The last ten seconds..."
Lessons Learned:
Single images don't make for the best poses for animatics x3
Clip Studio Art HAS a better way of doing animations and animatics. I'm just dumb.
I need to learn how to use cells, because the keyframes approach is torture.
Porting things over to Paint2D wasn't too bad, but it is a VERY basic animation program.
I don't think I'll be doing larger scale animations, but I might look into something else in the future. It was a fun project ^^
That's all! Enjoy the stuff!
