1080p30, maximize if that's your thing (and it should be!)

I wanted to get a little further away from my over-reliance on Blender's fur simulator. I'm not the biggest fan of highly detailed fur rendering in 2D work, so one would think I'd have come to this realization earlier, but hey, that's learnin'.

Character design is, I guess, Brownie Ring meets Outer Works, costume design straight from Onta's Hardblush #84 (The One With Taylor On The Subway/Bus/Tram/Whatnot). Not all the finishing touches are there, but judging by the date of the last backup file, le muse has shoved me on to other projects, so 'tis what 'tis.

Char is rigged with the built-in rigs that now come as Blender Add-Ons (awesome!), Rigify for the body and an early alpha of khuuyj's Face Bone Tool for the face. Considering it's (minimally) rigged, I've worked a bit of animation, but it's not finished enough to work properly under animation. The costume is all still separate objects, the basic idea being that they could be removeable. I've figured out why you don't see CG chars change costume on camera ... it's hard. The shrinkwrapping I'm doing works half-okay, for limited deformations, but under animation it jitters like Dr. Katz whenever it's moved. I'll have to come up with an animation cage solution or something. When I get back to it. On to the pile of WIPs you go!

I'll have to remember to kill the stamp next time, it's probably eating half the video bandwidth. Also, signing video files is a PITA. No matter, this is not my magnum opus.
