Fanimations: Cherrybomb Desires (Patreon)

Synopsis/Description:

So I kinda got obsessed with one of the sketches from ZephyrGales 's doodle tweet and I couldn't get it off my mind till I saw it animated, so I pulled a PinkAnimations and animated it! Now if only I could figure out what Cherry wanted... then we'd all be happy!

The Rant:

For once, it's really not that complicated....

But it's me, so let's complicate it!

I don't normally do this kind of stuff, because, unlike Pink, I don't really have that kind of adaptability. Usually, anything I adapt mostly adapts the general pose and situation, but the rest is usually uniquely my aesthetic. Something I share with Pink is that the rendering and animation loop have to be very simple, not just because the software we use is, as a vector program, very poor at rendering shadow gradients, but also the more detail a piece has, the longer it takes to do.

So I don't normally "animate an illustration" (I probalby should, more often).

And then I saw Zephyr's sketch.
What's great about this particular loop is that, for the most part, Zephyr baked the key poses into the sketch, and you can pretty much visualize what exactly Cherry is doing. Well, when you zoom in. At first, when I saw it, I thought she was just wanking up and down with her robo hand, until I asked Zephyr for the sketch, and saw exactly what she was doing. Didn't really change the major body poses, but it did mean an extra hand asset.

There's some overlap and jiggle in the hat, hair and boobs so it looks like I did some work, but the animation was pretty simple. I like that I'm leveling up that something like this is pretty simple (I would not have wanted to do this with traditional animation), but I also know that I need to start grinding my animation in other directions. There needs to be more to me than just loops, after all.

From there, clean up was pretty simple. 

As for the text, the "eff me" in the background is just some basic line boil, but I figured it needed a little more, so I gave Cherry some actual dialogue. The lip sync was pretty easy too. Just make a library of visimemes (mouth shapes) and then time them accordingly.

I may do more of these in future, but it'll depend; It can't take away from the stuff I owe for you guys, or the stuff I wanna do with Abby, so they'll have to be pretty simple, with simple colors. But this was fun, and I'd love to do more!
