WIP- New Ref Sheets!

Hey everyone!

Might be taking a break from animating this week.

I've had a few people ask me for references for my characters, and I've been too embarrassed to give them the ones I made in January 2020. They're way too outdated and gross looking.

So, considering how much Murphy and Mitzi have changed in the last year, I am working on brand new reference sheets for them!

This will also be helpful for animating, since I am making and compiling new assets that I can reuse for each angle. I never had good front-facing assets to use for them, for example, so now I do!

...Until they inevitably change again. But we'll cross that road when we get there.

I will likely also be working on ones for Zoe and [bunny] as well. Zoe's definitely in need of an update, and [bunny] never had one to begin with.

Lastly, I don't know if I've mentioned it, but I am also working on updated character bios as well. They will be separated from the model sheets, but they are mostly done!

No problem, thanks for asking! Like I said, feel free to ask me if you have any other questions about my process.

Thank you so much! This is really amazing to see, keep up the fab work 😁

Hi Jodie! Thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad you decided to join. You're absolutely correct: I don't use any proper 2D rigging in my animations, it's mostly just swapping and creating new assets. The reason I made brand new turnarounds for my characters wasn't just out of a need to update, but all of these parts are swappable for animation. I have an older overview of my process here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/overview-of-my-42758406

Hi there! I'm a new patreon, I absolutely love your work! I'm also an animator, starting out in my career. Seeing your process is really eye opening. So you don't rig your characters, you just use assets and swap out different angles? I would love to see this process some day as I'm curious! Great work 🤗✨

Totally. I made their eyes smaller so their mouths could be a bit bigger.

The facial features definitely are the biggest change. It feel like they have gotten a lot more detailed and expressive.
