Widowmaker < Babymaker
Widowmaker isn't really an accurate name is it? Spiders have 8 legs after all, Widow has 3, I guess that would make her, Babymaker
Animation done! Finally right? This was actually going to be done sooner but ran into a major hiccup, feel free to read more about that below if you want.
I would consider the animation really dense as far as amount of work put in per frame, I overall strayed away from having things be overly repetitive and tried to go for a ton of variation; even total variation from second to second in many parts, it takes a really long time to do things this way but at this point I feel like my priority should remain improving my work whether that be through working hard or smart because I really don't want to end up being the type to take bad shortcuts, it's always going to come across in the work and to the best of my knowledge I did everything I could that I currently I know to improve. Plans for the near future are to invest in private lessons for the things I'm much weaker at; like scriptwriting, mixing/mastering audio, and the things I still feel like will benefit me a lot still, like lighting and animation for example. I kind of just figured out most of this stuff on my own by messing around over the years so there's many times where I'll show my work/process to other artists and they're like, "Oh why are you doing it that way, it's like 3 times faster to just use this proper method"; basically what happens with the way I do most things.
I feel like I can mention the biggest thing I was having to deal with most of last month that caused a delay on this, basically I messed up my legs from high impact skating and jogging; I was starting to have pain the past few months but I just kept going like a dumbass thinking it was just going to pass. It basically escalated to the point where it was hard to sleep from the constant pain so I was back and forth in the hospital last month, and since they couldn't find anything "wrong" I was basically getting shuffled around for like 10 visits seeing different doctors which ate up a huge amount of time. (Honestly I think the whole issue started like 2 years ago now, which was around the time I switched my lifestyle from basically not exercising at all to going pretty seriously about it almost every day) maybe it finally caught up to me? Basically I think I should be fine if I slowly build back up to it because luckily right now I feel okay and have for about a week now. Haven't been doing anything too high impact for almost a month which seemed to clear things up.
Nonetheless thanks all for your support however long, I massively appreciate it! For the planned future I'm looking towards a few things; collab animation, continuing another animation from the past, and maybe something new in-between as well ^_^
