i do this often in real life.

i shot a video of myself striking the pose, identified the key frames, loosely traced over those, then did the in-betweens. it's hard to see in the finished product, but this is also my first piece where parts of the clothing with a pattern. the parts that were to have the patterns were initially coloured green and blue, then i used blender's compositor to key those colours and replace them with the pattern. i also used the compositor (along with blender's movie clip editor) to isolate and recolour the lines, as some of them are actually filled in on the colour layers.

made in gimp, blender, and kdenlive. completed on 2025-06-10.
