God this took... omg it's 5am now... I spent over 12 hours on this total??? wth.

So yes, this is an experiment on animation I was doing with GIF. It works... sort of.

Unfortunately no shading cause it's a test run of a technique.
I learned that shading is hard for animations and if you want to animate something shaded you best shade first then animate else if you shade each bloody frame it's not at all consistent.

Anyway this is the old character that you'd prolly recognise: Lucy Hikari The lucario gal.


Doing something bit more refined... like traditional Japanese-like drinking green tea from traditional...
sighs.
Nevermind.


....And just being naturally cute.


5 base frames with multiple variations.
total 44 frames used in this animation.

No wonder that took so bloody long.
