So something new this time, video can be found on Twitter (link at the end)
Here on Patreon, I'll be talking about my work more in depth, giving you a special behind the scenes~

First image is the facial rig, thanks to Meku for making the rig~
Second image, I've been lazy and not making pose libraries for my characters, so while doing the lip sync initially by hand, I made a note so I could go back and add them to the library
Third image, of course, all animators LOVE their pose libraries~ Just makes things easier and faster, especially when it comes to repetitive poses, like expressions, etc. A pose library is like a collection of knives for a chef~ You know?
Fourth image, these are just the keyframes for the mouth and cheeks (and a little for the eyes) but it's also a rough cut, I'll have to go in, smooth some frames, etc~
Fifth image, progress so far~ I'm about 1/3 of the way done on the rough cut.. for 1 character XD Still haven't started the other. Aye yay yah~ Getting there though, slowly but surely~

Thanks for listening to my TED Talk and let me know if you like this kind of Behind the Scenes style of WIPs~
Be kind, stay safe and have fun~
