Under Pressure - Shot 4 - Smoochin'
Added 2020-08-25 16:59:49 +0000 UTCAnother day, another shot from Under Pressure in the bag!
I was a little apprehensive about this shot, as I'd heard that kissing is a bit of a changing thing to draw, especially in anime. The original frame form the comic shows the aftermath of the kiss, but not the kiss itself, but I really wanted to show the kiss animated.
Maybe I got lucky, but animating the kiss itself was super easy! Barely an inconvenience!
The tongues though.... ugh. Tongues are basically short, thick tentacles, and there's a reason you haven't seen me animate a lot of tentacles... It's super hard!
Still, in the end, I think the result came out pretty nice!
It'll definitely undergo a few more tweaks and polish before the animation is finished (as will all the shots), but it's coming together quite nicely!
I also added in some saliva VFX near the end of the shot, when the kiss ends, but I'll do a nice little BTS post about that sometime later.
