(Early Access Animation) Soraka x Irelia Full Nelson

Here it is!

So, I usually don't like talking down my animations since I usually critique myself enough already in private, but this is a piece I didn't quite like for a few reasons. I don't think its terrible per se, but there are things I'd want to change with it that I can't without remaking a good chunk of the entire animation, since the animation structure of this one was an admittedly pretty dumb experiment, which meant I couldn't properly change or tune the animation without going to great lengths that would make the whole project even more messy. Definitely a mistake I'll learn from and try to avoid in the future.

I mentioned all this before in comment replies and stuff, so I probably sound like a broken record at this point lol, but I just wanted to mention it on the post since a lot of people were excited for this one.

On the more positive side, it was a good test of some technical stuff that I was trying out back when I started the project. Remember the twitching dicks on the Sam & Kata x Irelia piece? Yeah, same technology here, and I think this is where I found out how to make them twitch. I also got a lot of animation practice doing a more complex pose like this, with all the different weight distribution and dynamics and stuff going on there. Doing this project definitely made me want to do a full nelson again, but better this time.

So yeah, the piece has its upsides and downsides, it's certainly not my proudest or best piece overall. But, I'm gonna release it and move onto other animations. Hope you guys like it anyway. =)
