Added 2019-06-06 19:46:20 +0000 UTCIt was asked for me to post there here too- shoulda done that from the start really. Better late than never I suppose!

Aw, thanks man! I almost feel a little guilty about how much praise you're giving me here, this was just a quick bit of messing around really, but I'm super glad y'all seem to be enjoying it! :D

2019-06-08 04:21:17 +0000 UTCThanks man! The ears are definitely a big plus. I'll have to get to work updating my other models with similar movement... eventually. Lotta work, but I'll get around to it, heh. I think the definitely nailed it there- a lot of fur in animations has unnecessary physics that just looks out of of place. Generally speaking, unless fur is very long it doesn't actually waggle around all that much, so having every strand wave around with every movement is pretty overkill. The fur on my models has literally no physics right now, just stiffly sticks to the skin, and to my eyes it looks pretty much fine. At some point I plan to start messing around with fur physics to hit that 10% you mention, but yeah, looks like keeping it mostly static should be fine in the long run! I think what I might need to do is just lighten Runo up a bit. He's just so dramatically dark compared to my other models that it's hard to get him looking good with any other character. Doesn't help things that I tend to really like dark and moody lighting, heh. It's something I'll definitely mess with a bit at any rate, next time he's featured in a more serious animation. As currently my only male model with an available dick, that probably won't be too long, hah! And yeah, alternate angles/more camera movement are definitely on my to-do list of things to learn/mess with. It's a ways down so it might be a little while before I get around to it, but I definitely want to play with that stuff at some point! While I'm here, thanks for all the other comments too! I'm glad you got a kick out of seeing Gale in 3D, and I hope you enjoyed this little hit of gale filth too. :P

2019-06-08 04:16:36 +0000 UTCLooks like its coming along nicely! I'm really loving all the detail you're putting into these animations, stuff that most people proably wont notice, but you do anyways for the people that do. Thank you for putting your best foot (or paw) forward with all the projects you do :)

2019-06-07 03:19:58 +0000 UTCI had trouble viewing this one on E621 and mobile, but now that I'm on desktop it downloads and opens just fine! Definitely in agreement with the comments on the FA submission--the ears add a lot to the expressions, and I'm extremely glad you got them to work! Fierce, shy, overwhelmed, scared... They can really help drive those emotions home. The fur seems to have behaved nicely! A lot of times I see animations that have had painstaking hair/fur physics applies and it just... Doesn't look good. Too much movement, too much going on and it looks like everything is being swirled around underwater in slow motion. Having emotive pieces of hair and fur like on the bangs, tailtip and other critical areas is great, but over an entire model just seems to overwhelm the viewer, so I think 90% static fur is the way to go :) Do remember to lighten up the scene/areas where Runo is concerned! He melds into the shadows and even a neutrally lit scene where other characters show up just fine, he seems to struggle in. Just keep his unique dark attributes in mind when constructing the lighting! And I know I mentioned it before, but with the new render abilities you have now, it would be incredible to get some alternate angles or dynamic scenes...!
