Client wants a tush shake animation for a live2D model im building for them.

Idea 1

I would attempt to build him in such a way that he could kinda turn around.

OR at least use model 1 to make the first few poses and keyframe a second model made for the tush-showing version.

Idea 2

Another idea is, so that a 3/4 or profile view asset doesnt need to be drawn would be, like a cartoony POOF effect or some other short transition for the model to just be shown from behind (Which  basically means keyframing the face to not display and maybe having maybe 1 or 2 added parts alongside the undies to show the back of his head/body.)

The front model would essentially be made to also be used as a back view using basically the same drawn assets, and he could have  POOF transition or cartoony whirlwind like the Tasmanian Devil as a way to show a sort of "scene change" without having to do a full character model turn!

I've drawn a Crash Bandicoot kinda spin, this would basically be the same thing and I know would be less art intensive and faster/easier to work with using the single rig of the model!

We'll be going with idea 1.  But instead of making an alternate model, I'm going to add more assets to the main model and build something that can have a good profile view when turned to a 3/4 angle or fully facing the side.
