Rant included PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FILE FOR THE VIDEOTLDR; updated Princess Azalea sex scene to be more emotionally impactful, she's now a virgin in the story.I'm pivoting back to Cackle Conquest. I hit a bit of a stall on this project in the last few months because I wasn't happy with some of the art pieces and princess Azalea was starting to feel a bit cliche and stiff as a character. I'm kind of glad I put this on the back burner for the time that I did, because I've had a chance to do some serious thinking on the direction I want to go with it. Not only that, I've sharpened my story telling and animation skills. I've found that a very big weakness in my animations hasn't been in the motions, the artwork, sound, or even the animation quality, what has been lacking was showing how characters are FEELING during these videos. It sounds obvious, but it can turn out to be quite difficult because animation itself is difficult, especially because so much emphasis is put on making hot loops, unique positions, angles etc. Just focus on whats important right? The slam fucking. But no, that's not all that's important, sex is an emotional experience and while the slam fucking is important, how they feel about being slam fucked is just as important if not MORE important.I recently made two storyboards, one for Horse breaking 2 where Hibi has thunder tied to a support beam and is teasing him. That storyboard was one of the first that really showed how the characters were feeling. I took that knowledge and applied it to my recent sketch animation if Hibiscus and Rose, focusing on how Hibi feels about Rose advancing on her.I'm changing princess Azalea a bit, she's no longer a monolith of brash, bratty, crazy and angry. While she is all of those things, she's also a person, a woman who is still vulnerable at times despite believing she's not. This is something that I wanted the story to sell initially, and in the opening of this animation I thought I did it quite well. There's a nice opening sequence where she's giving Mikhael the cold shoulder while he's tending to her wounds, her war paint smeared on her face, you can tell she's in pain. But as soon as the sex starts that emotional complexity vanishes into the ether, which I felt was just unacceptable if this project has any hope of being an episodic adventure, the characters simply cannot afford to be reduced in such a way.So I've made some changes, I've decided to make princess Azalea ALSO a virgin. Common for the dark ages, women of nobility would have their virginity preserved for marriage. Lady Nicole has been tasked with not only helping Princess Azalea become strong, but also tasked with preserving her chastity. However, Nicole relates to Azalea's feminine struggle and her frustration at being banished. She allows the princess to regain control over her own bodily autonomy to ease her pain. Much of this will be communicated in episode 2's opening sequence.Princess Azalea throws her purity away on Mikhael as an act of revenge against her royal family, I feel like this updated sex scene does a spectacular job of doing just that. It also offers incentive and reasoning behind WHY they're having sex and why she's so forceful about it. She's not having sex because she's horny, she's having sex because she's acting out. I'll be looking more closely at prior scenes to see if they can be polished in a similar way. I'll also be adding a more impactful orgasm for the princess at the end of this scene.Additionally, I think I'm going to make it a funny trope that whenever Mikhael heals her he restores her hymen unintentionally as well, should be a nice running gag.
