Getting a Move On

I tend to want to animate quieter but more personally revealing moments. I had to explain to the AI that the skeleton was not alive and couldn't react. And it kept wanting to make Raksil more feminine; of course, it is neither male or female. Though there are a lot of 'feminime' markers there.

Lest anyone feel too much sympathy for Nessus, he was a rapist who was carrying that lady off to, ahem, 'tickle her feet.' Disney's Hercules has a much bowdlerized version of the tale. I find the quiet moments like Next or Office Work strangely compelling, sometimes more so than more action-y scenarios. I was very happy with Ogre Ages and Ogre Attack, compared to some other animations I had made of the scene. I wouldn't now draw an Ogre with a beard; they are not quite mammals. I couldn't get the proper "Scree-hee-hee!" on Old Kate; we know what it really sounds like in our heads. It's rather like trying to gild the lily to animate the Old Masters from Pom Poko, but here's my effort.

I'm only including 'my' bones in this post. I really should include Ogre Bones, but the program keeps straightning them up. A little more tinkering is required.
