7th Heaven Dev Quick Update!

Added 2020-05-05 19:15:21 +0000 UTC

Hello Lovelies!

Just a quick update for all of you.

As many of you are aware I work in the Animation as my IRL career. And one of the things I wanted to do for 7th Heaven was include animated character sprites. So far the character sprites have been just static images that I've saturated or desaturated depending on who is talking at any given moment. But I've really wanted to start adding a little bit more to them starting with an animated Tifa.

Using Toonboom Harmony I've broken up Tifa's Character sprite into parts and began to rig it for easier animation. This whole process will save time in the long run as I'll only have to draw new parts like hands and mouths when needed rather than draw EVERY frame.

Above is a quick little test I did of about 4 hours of work. This is the base rig. I still have to add in the ability to manipulate the shapes of the animateable pieces and add all the Shading and highlights and then rig the mouth properly to allow for... messy fun.

Overall I'm happy with the work so far. I'll have to trouble shoot some pivots but this is a good start!

Thanks again for your patience and support!

Have a sexy day!
