Ty Lee - WIP 3 (Patreon)

Hi everyone, here's the latest progress on the Ty Lee animation!

So I initally planned to have this update done like 2 weeks ago but I ran into a few setbacks regarding the animation, and a few things also came up irl.

First of all, as you may notice, I redid the lighting entirely. Once I started working on the inbetweens, I found I didn't quite like how the lighting was looking even though I liked (and even still do like) how it looked on the keyframes from the last post. So I ended up redoing the lighting, and even added a third tone to add some more depth to it. Overall, I'm really liking how it's looking now so I'm glad I redid it.

I also drew the clothed version! I'll be honest, I find Ty Lee's regular outfit in the anime a little simple, and though I don't dislike it, I did want to iterate on it a bit. I ended up taking some creative liberty with it and basically just cut out a few sections to make it a little more revealing while still hopefully retaining some of the original look and feel. It's also not really clear to me what kind of material it's supposed to be so I decided to make it a light satin-like material thats glossy and folds alot in the looser sections, while clinging tightly to the body in the more form fitting areas, as I feel like it fits the idea of Ty Lee being a dancer. We'll just assume in the case of this animation that she became a more "exotic" style of dancer :3

I also, made a few changed to the background, mainly because the setting didn't really feel intimate enough to really fit the animation.

Lastly, I also made a few edits to two of the climax scenes to fix up some areas of the anatomy, as well as add in some more animation to the mouth so that it more closely follows the the lovely dub from my VA, since it would be a shame to just cut out all the extra ad lib.

Most of the heavy lifting regarding the cleanup and inbetweening is done, so hopefully I should be able to finish up the animation within a week. I'll really try to get it done by the end of the month.

Thank you for the continued support, and I hope you look forward to the finished animation!
