Update: Work still ongoing, but getting there! (Patreon)

Hi peeps!
Hope everything's good :)
First, I have to tell you that in the next 4 days I'll need to go back to my home country for visiting my family. That means that I'll not be able to work since my PC will stay here eheh...
Anyway, this may end up affecting the animation release date, but I'll still try to do my best on completing it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, I'm gonna share with you some snips and clips of my latest progress.
First, very quickly, I'm not sure if you've checked out everything in the latest post MEGA link, but there was this small clip:
Here I was testing out the modeling of the overall final shape.
The issue is that trying to nail it, while leaning on the Blender cloth simulation to follow is not an easy task and after quite a big amount of simulation bakes, I ended up for something like this:
As you can see it's not perfect, arms too high, thighs to be better positioned and bigger...
Anyway, at least I know it was going the right direction, and with this last body rig setup for the last scene I decided it was time to start polishing the animation from the start.
I rolled back to the first scene and started animating.
Luckily this rig ( which if you are curious you can HERE , it's an awesome website to find high quality NSFW models ) came equipped with a facial rig that makes a lot easier to handle face expressions.
Also, in this process I started refining the cloth simulations parameters, obtaining what I think is a pretty good butt bounce. Check this out:
As you can see there's some cleaning to be done to the mesh, but sheesh, that's a nice bounce am I right?
Every GIF shared here plus an .mp4 version of the bouncy butt clip are available HERE
Also, I take the opportunity to reshare the whole Helen WIP folder, containing everything shared since now. Please take what you want as theese files might be deleated at some point.

With that said, thanks again for your constant support!
I'm trying to take my time for an (hopefully) much better animation, and I hope you'll find it worth it as I think it'll be. :)
Until the next update, have a nice time!
