Animation Update: Li-Ming's Arcane Orb (#3)
As mentioned in my other post, this week was kind of rough. The weather was extremely hot and the weekly art was more complex than I initially planned. Combine that with the diminishing returns of frame by frame animation [each pass over needs more and more new frames], and we're not hugely ahead of where we were last week. On the plus side, I got some of the tricky frames done this week, those that combined lateral movement, rotation and moving from pose to pose. With a bit of gusto, things should be much closer to complete by the next update. After that will come flat color, little polishes, and uploading.
A friend of mine semi-recently drew my attention to an audio file from Heroes of the Storm where Li-Ming casts a silence spell on herself and as a result makes some muffled sounds. Animation with sound... dare I? We'll see.
