Cynthia WIP 7

Published: January 20th 2025, 8:13:35 pm

Hi everyone, here is another WIP for the Cynthia animation.

We're fast approaching the completion of the animation! With this, basically all the linework for the loops is finished, and it's really starting to take shape.

I'm going for 3 tone lighting this time, as opposed to the 4 that I used for the Ty Lee animation. While I think it looked really nice, I felt it might have been a bit too much. At least I had trouble blending that one in such a way that it didn't look muddy, which forced me to leave the lighting looking a little more sharp than I would have liked.

Due to that, I'm dialing it back a little for this one in addition to having a little bit more of the characters in direct light this time. While it was about 50% for the Ty Lee animation, it'll be about 70-80% for this one. As a result, I'll be able to make the highlights a bit more diffused, use midtones to separate the forms, and use shadows mainly for creases and folds so the linework doesn't disappear as much.

I'm aiming to have the lighting done for the climax scenes by the weekend, which would leave me on track to have the whole thing done by the end of next week, so expect 1 or 2 more progress updates at most.

I've also recieved the VA tracks and they sound great!

As always, thanks for the support!
