[Rive] Janet & Lycia "Hidden Agenda" Patreon Deluxe Birth Animation [Video Only]

I never would have expected this outcome...except from the birth, I knew that was going to happen.

Finally, it is done. Thanks for your patience, as always. This might be one of the first times where I didn't worry as much about being "late" and just focused on making the animation what I wanted it to be and posting it when it was done. I didn't quite do every single thing I wanted to do, but overall I'm happy with the final animation.

Also, this is the first birth I animated in Rive (aside from the Nioma tentacle animation). In a lot of ways, it wasn't that different from old birth animations. The ability to be more expressive with the characters is a breath of fresh air, although it does mean those scenes take a long time to make (the amount of layers to keep track of...sheesh!). It's a good first attempt, but I'm sure I can do better next time.

The bonus content is a quickie "alternate universe" edit, for a quad birth sequence. I had considered adding in some extra details (like multiple umbilical cords) but remembered that the whole Patreon Deluxe IS the bonus content, so I veto'ed that idea lol. I had considered adding in some bigger belly edits of other scenes, but decided to keep it on theme and stick to birth bonus content.

While this project is finished, plot wise I've laid the ground roots for another Janet x Lycia animation. I wonder what would happen in that one?

Anyway, time for a break, and then to plan my next project. TTFN, and thanks again for your patience and support!
