Serena Get's Fired Pencil Test
Added 2020-05-23 00:45:30 +0000 UTCNot sure where to begin with this one. When I was shown the clip I had a feeling the lighting was gonna add an extra amount of work to the process, but I've been taking for granted having all these clips lately that come with a clean view of the background, so it didn't cross my mind that I'd also need to deal with Serena standing in the later part of the clip, so most of the work I've done this week was editing the last 48 frames of the animation to get as close as I could to a clean view of the background.
Serena's head was also covering up way too much of the background at the starting part for me to edit around, which is why the tf had to be staggered that way. Since I don't have too much to show thanks to all that extra editing work I can atleast show some sketches of how she would have looked had I been able to do the Braixen tf fully from the start.

I will certainly be able to have the animation colored by next week's update, though I'm not yet sure how much trouble that glowing effect will be to replicate.
Sorry if this post was overly negative. I do appreciate the chance to deal with a more challenging clip like this, and now I can estimate that it essentially doubles the amount of time it takes to finish the animation.

this is absolutely fantastic. also maybe i'm the minority, but i personally LOVE that the tf got slowed a bit. Actually prefer TFs where a few things remain, like her hair and eyes. Sorry if this comes off as shoving my preferences down your throat, just figured with what you wrote that some positive feedback + insight would help! I GREATLY look forward to the finished version! <3
