Notes
Yay! Finally got around to Gemma. This pairing has been in my mind for a long time so I'm really glad to have it animated and released :D. I went into this animation partially with the intent to adjust how I usually go about animating lipsyncing. One of my suspicions based on looking at my recent works, particularly the Tracer/Widowmaker and Mai animation, is that there was an over-reliance/over-exaggeration of the jaw and much less so the lips when a character was talking. Finding an equilibrium between the jaw and lips seems to be part of the puzzle for good lipsyncing, general animation skills aside. I don't like to speak on these things in confidence considering my lack of experience, but I hope people find that it looks better. Whilst not detracting from the meat of whatever it is I'm working on, I do enjoy putting effort in better 'SFW' animation skills as well, hands especially. As to avoid detracting from the NSFW aspect of whatever it is I'm animating, this may however cause the occasional simple intro/outro (≖⩊≖).
