W.I.P #217 - Iliya (Patreon)

i know i already shared this concept a few weeks back (though perhaps it was not this particular shot), but now i'll be starting on it in earnest. as evident in the original concept, it'll be a 2-parter (probably around a minute in length, maybe a minute and a half - not sure yet). already have pretty much everything set up for the physics and constraints (which was an exceptionally in-depth process since i couldn't really add collision to the hands due to the fact that they're parented to the cage itself, which would have caused it to instantly break. the system i have in place now is admittedly pretty jury-rigged but it seems to work for the most part without any noticeable jank, which is a relief. here's just hoping it looks good in motion.)

so given that the setup is already done (along with some of the core movement), getting an animated WIP ready to share should be pretty straightforward. you can expect to see that in the next few days.

in other news, production on the skit is going well! got a good chunk of the animation done and the rest i don't expect to be too complicated to pull off. as always, i'll keep you guys posted on it. in the meantime, here's a few screenshots:

that's all i've got for now, but i'll be back in a few days with the first animated WIP for this and some more sneak peeks at the skit :] thanks as always for the support! have a good one
