Progress update: hedgehog enjoyer-chan (Patreon)

Here's the more-or-less finished part of Nanami's anim, it's either half  or a little more than half of the full thing. Overall, I'm fairly  confident in the animating here, though, past this part, things get  trickier. The main issue is not the animation process itself, but more  so figuring out how to animate around fluid sims. It's pretty much all  new to me and... really quite confusing.
Releasing this as its own  loop could potentially work, then follow it up with the extended version  with a happy ending. Lemme know how you feel about this idea.  Personally, I have a hard time imagining how would this pacing feel in a  loop, but who knows.
And if I were smart, having cuts for each part would make things sooo much easier... however, I'm not smart. So we're going balls deep, one-shot  only, final destination. If only just to prove to myself that I can.  Won't leave you guys hanging though, there's a good chance I'll have  another shorter anim coming relatively soon.
