Toobskirt - Mini-Animation!
Get it?
I felt like Serena needed a skirt for some reason. And you can't give a character a skirt and not have them swish it around a bit, right? Also making this helped root out some issues with the skirt so I could correct them.
But mainly, swish!

I believe I may have spontaneously combusted from the sheer cute impact. Bravo. Thank you for existing. Thank Serena for existing. Thank you for all the beauty you create and share with the world. Thank you for the smutty goodies and the feelsy goodies and the cartoonish bits and the cute adorable bits and the warmth and nuance and emotional subtext and...and everything. I am really, really happy the world has a you in it.
Thank you for being.
Thank you for being.
That is the exact expression one has when it goes SWISH SWISH!!
I love the character design you are pouring into these wonderful cuties! From the dark and broody, the bashful eagerness of the birb, to this absolute long-cat monkey of a ferret. I just want to get to know them more!
Like... what type of coffee drink with sprinkles does Serena get? Who's the table top gamer of the group? You know the one, they just have all the knowledge like they're a walking source book but they play so casual?
gosh... I needed this smile for my day.

Aw, thanks! :D
Serena definitely strikes me as the type who gets 'coffee' that's more milk and sugar than actual coffee. Not sure about the tabletop gaming thing yet, none of them quite hit right for me there... maybe one to keep in mind for a future character, heh.

How....
How do you manage to sit in the perfect limbo of Ungodly, Fantastic NSFW content, no matter what you're doing this fun little anim I made will get you going even if you're not in the mood.
And
Whether you have a bad day, THIS little mini anim will force your facial muscles to form a smile no matter what.

Awwww! <3 She's so wholesome!
I know nsfw drives world forward and I'm always amazed by your skills (only you can make some weird kinks look hot, wtf), but damn I love your sfw art so much! Well animated characters just chilling and enjoying being around are so....I wouldn't say hot as in nsfw art but it can really warm one's heart in different way :)

My one complaint with cloth physics in games and animation is that they look good when the cloth is hanging, but once it starts doing anything opposing gravity it gets real wonky. Also, clipping.
However, I certainly hope this isn't the first, and last, time we see Serena in a skirt. Skirts enable so many options...!

The thing that always gets me is the life you put into your characters. Like, you didn't have to loop it so that she's glancing up at the viewer, basically saying "LOOK, LOOK AT MY SWISHY SKIRT! ISN'T IT ADORABLE????" and how she looks so excited and happy. But you did, and it's fantastic!
Also the skirt is cuter for her enthusiasm in it

Heheh! Is a toob-cat ina toob-skirt! :3
Also love the fluidity of your animations! You really have the kinetics down. <3
Question about that though; how do you study it? Do you perhaps do some of the motions yourself in a mirror or simply look at other works with similar motions?
When making things look life like while moving you have to move the whole body in both active and reactive ways. You nail that and im just curious how you do so, as effortlessly as you seem to do. <3

Honestly, I don't really... I brushed up on the 12 principles a bit early on, but other than that I just animate a lot and try to keep an eye out for things I can do better in the future. That's about it. I'm certain I'll hit a wall doing it this way eventually, but personally it feels to me like you can get a long way early on by just jumping in and doing some stuff, as long as you're mindful about what does and doesn't work while you're doing it.
I also cheat a -lot-. x3 Which you should always do while animating (when appropriate), it's the correct way to do things! The hands for example, I didn't really manually animate those- I just parented them to the ribs so they were following the motion of her upper body perfectly, baked the animation so I had frame data I could play with, and then set the keyframes for her hands back a few frames so they'd be following behind the ribs. Then I set the rotation back a few frames further so the rotation would lag the motion a bit. Bam. Hands animated in about 30 seconds. The fingers I had to do manually that was pretty easy since it's a loop.
There's lots of little tricks one can do to speed up the animation process, if you keep an eye out. :P

Well you know what they say; work smart not hard! Had you not said anything I'd never have guessed you didn't hand animate the hands! :p
And hey hitting a wall just means its time to try something new. And that's what life is all about. So when time comes you do hit that wall, as much as it will suck at the time, I know I for one will be chomping at the bit to see how you expand your abilities. ^^
