Animated WIP (Patreon)

Here's a quick animation while I finish the Monthly. For those who haven't seen the results, the monthly will be Overwatch. I'm gonna be gone towards the end of month so I'll actually need to finish the monthly a bit sooner than the 30th. I actually did the monthly intro and had a WIP basically ready but the WIP for that one is a bit unique so I'm waiting to finish a certain part to show it. I have a quick intro for it, then the action will happen then a simple climax. Hopefully I don't get caught up tinkering and finish it timely.

Expect this animation to come out tommorow or the day after since I don't really have time to fool around on it as I need to finish up the monthly.

Note: I'm actually going on a bit of a vacation on the 28th so I'll be inactive a bit but its only for a few days but at that time I'll have limited to my equipment but I'll still be able to communicate if anyone needs me to fix something here or anything else etc.

*Tech Notes*

Changes made

Design Wise my initial plan was a bit "boring" towards what I have now. Initially I just wanted the idea of the tall standing Amazon Hela getting it from behind from the sort of "hugging" Mantis. As I got to posing I started getting other ideas. I was gonna put Hela's arm around Mantis but the posing looked weird so I then thought what if I had her arm up, then it ended up behind her head and then I thought why not so something more unique, so that's how this turned into an armpit animation 😅. Hopefully some of you will be into this.

To add onto that, I decided to have her lift her leg just for some flair. I started to realize that since the licking and her appearance look rather "primal", the lifting of the foot and toes along with it kind of has added the "nasty" feel to it. I also added pubes but not certain if I'll use it or maybe it will just be an alt in case cause I know it's not everyone's thing. I had Hela's sword hand holding the sword out at first like a pose but it didn't show very well so I just had her rest in on her shoulder instead

For anyone who wonders, yes I have seen THAT Umamusume gif and it was somewhat of a thought while making this (I still think I was likely to do this regardless). Fun fact, although I've done 15+ Rivals animations I've never used Hela. I have Initially I wanted Hela to be a top when i finally got to use her but with this skin I couldn't resist a different vision. It's sort of how I feel about the magik skin I just used. I didn't really think Mantis had a skin that matched this (or really anyone else) so I could have chosen any rivals character really to go with Hela.

Also lighting wise I'm trying to keep it quick and the sun worked quite well in the jungle enviorment. I work in doors alot but even outside I was never a fan of using the sun light because I liked to micro control stuff and I thought it often wouldn't look that great. But I think that was just my lack of knowledge of how to make it look normal. It's really important on any light to adjust the radius of the light so that the shadows look either sharp or blended. I'm using the newest Blender so it also helps that EEVEE next excels at making lighting better overall.
