Ellen Joe WIP 1

Published: February 26th 2025, 5:34:21 pm

Hi everyone, here is the first WIP for the Ellen Joe animation that I'm currently working on!

I thought about it for a bit and I think I'm going to stick with the format that I used for the Jane Doe animation I did several months ago, for this and any future ZZZ characters I may end up animating.

To be honest, the ZZZ character trailers are actually really good and it's been surprisingly fun coming up with spinoffs for them. I was kind of expecting it to be hard to come up with an idea for Ellen since her trailer isn't nearly the low hanging fruit gooner bait that Jane's was, but as as soon as it got to the maid cafe scene, the idea I had pretty much started drawing itself.

Here is the trailer that I'm referring to for those who haven't seen it, the scene that inspired this animation starts at around 1:40

So far I've finished rough animation for the intro, I'll have the rest of animation ready for the next progress post which I'll try to have done by the end of next week.

I'll admit that I'm not too familiar with Ellen, since I only played ZZZ for a week or two after Jane released and I'm not too familiar with the other characters or the setting, but I really like the bored, apathetic maid attitude she has going on and it almost immediately reminded me of that one Pixiv artist that draws the low angle POV pinups of the really disgusted looking maids (some of you will know what I'm referring to lol)

It's also been a fun change of pace to do these longer form animations every now and then, or perhaps it's also the storyboards for my OC animation that have been inspiring me to experiment more with this kind of stuff.

As always, thanks for the support! I hope you look forward to seeing the animation!
