(Animation) Demon Kasumi WIP

Hello,   

As for all the rest, it took me a while, but I'll finally start with this post to give you some news on the ongoing animations. And the least to say is that the next big project I have is... maybe too ambitious for a rookie like me. But I learnt a lot with it and I'll keep working on ambitious projects (not always as much as this one, calm down ahah) in the future. 

The idea of the current one is to bring back our dear Demon Kasumi whose Studio Fow gave birth to with their 3 movies series, Kunoichi. In my scene, I look for bringing back the dark/demonic ambiance of the movies, with Kasumi enjoying the cock of a police officer on two cowgirls positions in the street under the rain and with cars passing by near them. But as mentioned, this type of project is really ambitious for a noob animator like me. I'm done working on it on Blender, and I already rendered it completely one time as you can see in the preview (the total length is 40 seconds, with intro and even POV angle), but with some issues of shadows definition and masks modifier on her arms, so I'll need to render the whole thing again... 

Since I still struggle a lot with such big projects (not just simple loops), it requires me to spend a lot of time to come with the final release. Not much of a satisfying situation, right? Because of this I loose a lot of valuable time by being often demotivated, and I always need at least a week to get back on animating when it happens. Some of my close experienced colleagues suggested me to have some other way simpler animations in the works at the same time. This way I can release new animations more often, which would be a win for you (more content), and for me as well (more releases means more self assurance, more happiness, more practice and step up in animation quality and production's speed). 

To conclude, just know that the Demon Kasumi project will still need a new render (around 30 hours I think for regular version and nude one) plus post production. Also, I'm still very unsure if I want to invest money to add sound on it or not. I'll keep you all updated on this.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

PS: Prepare for a second post after this one with a poll to decide who will be the girl to be animated next after Kasumi :)
