Demon Animation

I have mostly been working on getting in between frames in and adding some details that other frames were missing. Though I also added some background copyright free music that I felt would be fitting. If possible I'm hoping I can edit in the future so it syncs up with the animation better.

So I've finally gotten to the end, kinda. I got the montage done and half of the hand scene, which I'm rotoscoping ever so slightly. I'm gonna work to make some of the movements look a little smoother and add audio.

Now that I have the figures done for the key frames I've started adding more detail, specifically the characters expressions since I felt that they would be very important for conveying the scene. In adding them I feel a bit more confident. I'm going to start adding more details and improve some the existing expressions so that they fit the scene better.

I have made a few more backgrounds for the animation. Keeping them simple and a bit sketchy so I can possibly add more detail in the future. I've also kept them relatively in the same color palette so the scenes hopefully don't feel to disconnected. The balcony background is pretty much just a different angle of the other balcony I drew. The banners background is for the throne room, because I felt that just a simple blank background wouldn't be very fitting for the throne room scene.

Now I've gotten a good bit of in-between frames done in this section. I've also come to the conclusion that i'm probably going to settle on this section. There's only a bit left for me to finish up on the anatomy and once that's done I'm going to work on getting the details in and then the lining and flat coloring. I've also have gotten some progress on the backgrounds done, which I have inserted into the video. I kinda like them so I might keep those and just add more detail to them later.

In my hubris of losing myself in anatomy, I forgot to work on backgrounds. In my process its always been something I put off but I am starting to realize thats probably not the best thing to do in this case. I also realized that unlike the figures I don't have to redraw the background a million times. So I started to draw up some simple backgrounds, they're kind of a mix of concept and just placeholder. What i'm thinking I'll do is draw them up like this and later on add more detail. I wanna add things like textures but considering my time frame I might have to keep them simple.   In the end though I want to have a background for each scene and have all of the, be unique. However if I have to I might reuse some like the windows one because there some scenes that are in a similar setting.
