WIPs! (and update on the poll winners)

Added 2023-07-03 17:35:17 +0000 UTC

Soo, I decided to make one of the image suggestions last month into an animation, giving myself some practice with some rougher, fast paced stuff as I feel like I default to a certain animation style and pacing at times. And also because the pose is hard to animate, there's a strange weight dynamic between the two characters in a full nelson, so it's pretty fun to figure all that out.

Now, I know, lots of Irelia, but I haven't done much with her at all and that's strange since she's definitely one of my favourites. So I may be indulging a little bit to make up for it.

On the topic of the poll winners, the animation is done, however the render time for the whole thing is... 3 days. It's about 50 seconds long, so a lengthy render time is not surprising, but it leaves very little room for error. If I notice something is wrong and need to re-render the whole thing it takes another three days, and that's one of the main reasons that projects drag on for a while. So yeah, it's coming, I'm rendering and optimizing as much as I can between re-renders but it's still slow.

I -really- don't like delaying the next animation poll for this long though, so don't be surprised if the next animation poll shows up sometime soon, even if this one isn't released yet.

TLDR;

Soraka x Irelia full nelson animation in the works.
Current poll winners animation is done, but has 3 days render time which leaves little room for error.
May run the next animation poll soon, even if last poll winner isn't released yet.
