Jinx Tickles Akali Exclusive Preview and Update
Added 2020-06-25 07:50:33 +0000 UTCAlright! We're full steam ahead, this thing should actually be out sooner than you expect. There's still a lot of polish to do, but the main chunk of animation is nearly complete.
Watch here: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/DarlingGoodInexpectatumpleco-mobile.mp4
The final product will clock in around 4 minutes; this is the first full-on "female on female" tickling video I've done; it's straight-forward, good old-fashioned tickle action. Short intro, and then Jinx will proceed to tickle the feet, the armpits, the midsection and then circle back to the feet (using her fingers and some brushes a long the way). I'm having a lot of fun with her character, to be honest. The crazy ones are the most enjoyable to animate.
The clip has a few issues which I'll be solving at the end; one more pass of animation is needed (especially with the fingers and contact points), and the Jinx rig, while great overall, does have some issues with the accessories clipping. I'll likely end up fixing this with shapekeys.
The feet, you may notice, clip a bit in the stocks. I'm either going to mess with the weight-painting or simply brute-force my way through with corrective shapekeys, but this will come after the animation is done.
Akali's hair will also be more fluid, but obviously I need to make sure all the animation is locked before spending too much time on this (I've made that mistake before...).
I hope you enjoy! I'll keep you updated; will have a public preview, another exclusive preview, and a new render going up before release. The poll for July will come towards the end of the week (I have some interesting ideas...), along with another preview.
Hope everyone is safe and well!

Appreciate that! I still feel I have a lot to improve on, but the encouragement doesn't go unnoticed.

2020-06-26 04:26:07 +0000 UTCI'm not even gonna lie... I'm as excited for this as I was for 2B, and 2B is still my favorite full-feature animation you've done (your older Akali loop is also excellent!). I especially like it when your scenes have a cinematic-like "There will be more..." suggestion at the end, even if brief... it's hard to find any content in any medium that successfully does that. Keep up the A+++ work, you're basically peerless in what you do. The people who like what you do have rarely if ever been treated to the quality and care given to your content :)
2020-06-26 02:03:46 +0000 UTCIt'll look even better! That last layer or two of polish does wonders.

2020-06-25 15:38:17 +0000 UTCSo good! I love the ones with the more stylized pretty characters like this, I think that they look more natural being hand animated amd having exagerated expressions. I also really apreciate the first person pov of the ticklee for some reason, that's so rare to see in general.

2020-06-25 08:56:42 +0000 UTCAre- are you even human-? How can a single person make such unbelievably high quality animation in such a short amount of time? You seriously blow every single other TK animation maker out of the water with a nuclear missile
