NabbyMations (Early Access): the memetic answer

Poor Nabby!
Being stuck in an animated gif loop means she's never gonna snap that choker, but darned if she isn't gonna try! Guess Abby's not the only one who can't win in the SaunterVerse!
The Rant:
- So, you knew that if I was gonna ask the question, I was also going to try to answer it. As fun as the implication is that Nabby is having a failure moment similar to Abby, we all know the logistical answer that its easier to do an animated loop, rather than an animated sequence where the choker snaps, Abby is let back down, and then ...loop somehow? A new Choker? I dunno. Again, the loop is just easier. That doesn't mean its any less fun! After all, while Nabby is normally emotionless, I like the idea of them both getting more and more frustrated (and desperate, in Abby's case) as the choker refuses to snap.
- In terms of technique, this one was a lot simpler, given that I'm just reusing a bunch of assets. I had considered animating it from scratch, but I reeeeeaaaallly don't have the time and was kinda worried about winging it again. Plus, it provides better symmetry with the first part if you're watching the back to back. I did rough out the animation this time, despite reusing animation assets, for a smoother experience. I also changed out Nabby's expression so it looks like she's putting exertion into making this work.... which it won't. But its fun to try!
- I also desyncronized the tentacle in Abby's throat from the rest of her body to give her forced swallowing more weight. This is an animation technique of overlap that I normally use to give her boobs (and, occasionally, her hair) more jiggle (so the body and boobs aren't hitting the same gravity bounce at the same time) but I figured it was great here because it emphasizes how little control Abby has over the situation.
What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments! I love reading them, and it lets me know how I'm doing! Thanks for your continued Patronage!
