🦌 Reindeer New Year - Updating Blitzen's Rig!
🕑 Added 2024-12-15 22:23:21 +0000 UTCHeya sexies!
Thank you for the OVERWHELMING support with my newest film, I'm so encouraged and warmed by all the love it's gotten!! Looking toward my next work, I want to revisit some of the OG favourites... but with a new coat of paint! Learned a lot while doing GLORYHEAVEN, so I want Blitz here to reflect all that new experience.
For future films I think I'm going to avoid rigging hard outlines and opt for smoother gradient shadows to show form, it looks nicer and it's less complicated to rig and animate all around. I also added dick/nip highlights, fixed some colours, fixed proportions, and rebuilt the antlers so they won't look like flat pngs when Blitzen turns his head. I also drew in multi-use mouth drawing swaps (not pictured) since I hadn't already done that, which should help speed up the lip-sync process!
I attached the old rig here so you can flip through and compare it with the new rig. Will be updating Rudolph and Comet too - let me know what you think of these updates! ❤️ Thanks for your support as always!
