the meme pose

sometimes you just need to remember you have the power

me and @HeroOfHeart were talking about a pokemon au and i need you all to know lana and verona run a gym in alola together

the main visual for the album is so fucking pretty but also. how i feel blasting Cirno's Perfect Math Class at 3am while my neighbors try to sleep

for animating the cape, i usually just imagine 2 circles going around the bottom of it and moving to the right, and that way i know how the cape should fold!

now that i have all of the main frames done, i start work on the transitional frames! transitional frames are frames with slight adjustments to the key frames to make the movement look a bit smoother

i have some personal stylization rules for sprites in cycle! mostly that the active arm or leg will always have an outline if they're moving and hiding another body part, and the shading will always come from the top left. from there i keep going!!

after i have everything blocked out, i start adding the actual details in! a lot of adjustments happen in this stage aswell

i sketch out the key poses with a bright green line, working out where the limbs and head would be positioned!! i always keep a reference of sprites i already did so the anatomy would make more or less sense.
