"A gift" - New animation WIP snippet (Patreon)

A little snippet of an animation I'm working on! Wanted to share for two reasons... firstly, as a little update to show what I've been up to, I think some of you will be excited to see this! Secondly, because I'm experimenting with a new technique in this animation and I think it's coming out pretty neat. See if you can spot it! I suspect anyone who animates or is familiar with animation might be able to see what's new...

No critique at this stage please! As you can tell it's very early, there's a lot of finishing and cleanup to do. But I just got approval of the first draft from the commissioner so it seemed a good time to share a little something!

Also, for those of you at the relevant tiers, suggestion posts are up- make sure you get yours in, I should be putting up the vote in the next few days.
