I hope this all made sense! At the end of the process, I had to take a bunch of pet portrait commissions to pay a friend for their time to help me fix the timings and stuff on a decent computer. 2020-01-30 11:00:00 +0000 UTC View Post

It's nearly done.. I'm working with another animator [who has a more powerful computer] to fix timings and add some more details. Here's a few of the first shots while you're waiting <3
