Touhou 15 Teaser Trailer Update #4 (Patreon)

After some time spent in experimenting, it was time to return to the short teaser. I can't recall how long it's been since I started this animated short, but at the very least we're coming to the end of Junko's frames. After doing much experimentation, I am implementing what I have learned to all 36 frames where Junko appears. So far, I have gotten into the first phase of the rendering, which is the pre-filter. You can see some of the progress in the examples below.

 As you can see, this phase has no filters yet, it's just rendering the details. I have also yet to test out the animation. I'm saving that until I after I finished everything. As much as this is a teaser to get people excited for what is to come, it is also another chance to experiment. I'm mainly concentrating on getting the frames done so that we can finally finish the teaser.

The second phase is the filtering stage, and after that I got to do the backgrounds, which is going to be a challenge for me. I'm still decided if I should draw them or do what I usually do and use backgrounds. I'll be figuring that out next.
