EDIT: And now I've learned the hard way how FA auto-resizes the image. Original size was 2139x810, and FA resized it to 1280x485. Any suggestionson how to mitigate this issue with FA? Considering the 1280 width size, I would assume that's the primary constraint.... would reorienting it vertically sidestep this issue?

EDIT EDIT: Yup! Reorienting it vertically fixed the issue!

A very special thanks to  Ehh123 for sponsoring my very first commission!

I kind of used it as a test-bed for livestreaming commissions in general. Making sure paypal works correctly, learning how to manually send a file to the commissioner, getting better at timing/pacing myself to avoid spending too much time on any component, etc.

I also used it as an opportunity to experiment with colored sketches... sorry Ehh123! I just couldn't ignore the pretty fur pattern on the feline species you requested :3 Still, though, I managed to make each frame in under an hour, with some extra time devoted to minor touch-ups. I deliberately held back from turning this into a finished product, since this was supposed to be a "sketch" in the first place, and to better my own restraint.

I expect to get much better from things like this; forcing myself to operate within the constraints of a commission aided in learning new tricks and methodologies necessary to meet said constraints (mostly time).

So yes, I know it's "rough." It's supposed to be :P Still, I would appreciate any constructive criticism you can offer. For example, I was trying to get a certain facial expression on the mid frame: O_o It didn't quite work out. What would you suggest to fix this?
