Parasite Rodeo 1 - Animation Progress 1 (Patreon)

(give the animation time to load)

I've put the previous animation on hold because the skeleton rigging system was severely flawed. It warped moving parts out of proportion like a fun house of mirrors.

For this new animation, I'm doing a loop that makes sense as a loop, and moving the body parts like pieces of paper. Synfig allows me to warp objects even during animation so even though they look stiff now, they will be welded together and move fluently in the end. Things like the skirt will stretch correctly at every key frame once it's done. I've proven this method to be sound, all that's left is hard work.

I'm also changing this from a tentacle piece to a worm unbirth situation for the animation. Tentacles are kind of Zone's territory, and I'd like to be known for tentacle parasite unbirth possession. I'd still do some tentacle stuff though.

Background and color will be added. It's going to be in a luxury bathroom stall with some clues that the parasite came out of the toilet. I'm also going to add a lot of detail to the parasite itself.

I just love when females wrestle with a parasite that's trying to get in their body, so I thought it would be fun to call this type of never-ending animation a "rodeo" :9
