I created a short ~7 second animation inspired by a comment suggestion.
Since this was an animation, I originally planned to keep the coloring simple. However, I ended up painting it in my usual illustration style, which significantly increased the workload and caused delays.
Next time I work on a short animation like this, I’ll stick to proper cel-shading to keep things more efficient.
Also, I recently received a paid request for an Uma Musume character in a café setting. The client left the character choice up to me and requested a busty character wearing just an apron, so I’ll be following that direction for this piece.
If you have any character suggestions that would fit this concept, feel free to leave a comment!
