[Extras] April Lychee x Ponytail Gorl: The Bikini Crisis (Patreon)

Alright here's finally all the extras for this animation.

Since this animation took such a long while to finish, there's quite a bit to the extras for this.

The first one is the original version of the END animation.

I thought it was the best way to portray she couldn’t swim given how the chibi sprites lacked arms and therefore made it easier to read instead of her flailing in the water.

I talked with 1ofmanyregrets about it and he said it was too harsh to have her drowned due to her not knowing how to swim (even if it’s heavily implied PG goes to save her anyways) and that I should replace it to be her rising out of the water and panicked flailing about instead.

Given how I saw some people already feel bad to see April flailing about in the "more tame" public version of the END animation, he was probably right about that…but don’t tell him I said that lol.

The second is the the original way the animation was supposed to go with April realizing she's naked and covers up.

I ended up coming up with the close ups so you could get a better look at her small "assets".

Keep in mind this doesn't look nearly as polished as the final version looked due to it being cut earlier on in the animation's development.

Also the textbox is invisible so you can clearly see all the details in this cut chunk of animation.

The third and fourth are some cut dialogue from the animation.

I originally planned on bringing back the three bullies from the first Natsuki ENF animation (the guys with the silly red, yellow, and blue hair) for this animation, but only off screen like this.

They were always meant to be Ed, Edd, and Eddy parodies and this dialogue would have reflected that way more than the Natsuki animation originally did. Their names are Fred (blue text), Red (red text), Teddy (yellow text).

It ended up being cut because I felt like it would've been way too much to read and disrupted the flow of the animation overall. Hence it only being in this paneled format instead so you have all the time to read them.

Then the final four are a small showcase on how the April animation close up looked with a CRT filter, because I wanted to try and make the big sprite look good through it. Might try and do this with future big sprites, but I would like to get a real CRT for them maybe. Would have to be far in the future though

And then as always, the Aseprite files are attached to this post, I also included the video editor file to this as well. It's a ".ove" file, the file format for Olive Video Editor.Hope you like all this small behind the scenes stuff. I know it's not as good as a big new animation but still, always like talking behind the scenes stuff with my work since they take so long to come out. Have a good rest of your day :)
