Ren's wedgie at the fair. Also update on the big animation.

Commission done for client. 

Is been busy as of lately so for saturday I should finally have the sketch batch. I have been making progress on the big animation. The biggest challenge is getting through the entire linework, is nearly 5000 frames long, of course I don't animate in ones, that would take forever, it would be the smoothest result possible of course. But I would be done animating it in my 40s. I'm currently at 445 key frames drawn. But take in count those frames are distributed and animated across more or less 2700 frames (this is where i am currently). Have been mixing it up, some shots are done in twos, others in threes, and a very few in four and some are stills for dramatic effect (dumb ass me set some drawings to appear for 7 frames on the sketch, took me a while to fix that rhythm)

So basically I'm half way there when it comes to the linework. Sorta, because some shoots need inbetweening (the blurry or moving frames where characters look weird) to smooth them out (those 445 frames, will turn into 800 easy). But if I stick to polishing every second of everything Im never going to have the whole thing build up. So first get all the keyframes drawn, then I'll work the inbetweens, and when I can say the linework is at it's best, and everything looks smooth, coloring and effects can start. Thank you all for being patient with this animating project of mine, I know I haven't been showcasing ever since, but I really want this to surprise you as much as I can, and I don't want to reveal the whole animation get, imagine if you saw the shot of the animation of 18 when it was just a stick moving around, then the shape of the stick, the color, all through that, the final result wouldn't have been such a big surprise as it was. So please be patient. I really want to finish this, but between dealing with commissions this is gonna take me a while. The good thing is, linework is the hardest part. Coloring will be easy is always the fastest part of it.
