AprilXV Animations + Update

Hello again! the usual XV routine~. Just a little Idea I had in my mind. but...it turned out really different from what I envisioned...as per usual.

PIXIV

MEGA

There is actually one missing Aranea animation this time.

It took me a lot of time trying to fix this one. but in the end, I decided to scrap it and get some extra sleep. got too frustrated fixing it ngl. maybe I'll finish it another time.

it's just not up to par with what I envisioned in my head. ...I still need to study more. perhaps even rig her from scratch again. or it could be just because there's too much chaos recently.

Still no idea what's for next month's XV yet, but perhaps more Aranea. the scrapped one above really makes me want to animate a full Aranea set again. I need my Aranea fix. Maybe with a cameo or two if stars aligned. we'll see.

NEW MODEL

I read Cissnei here and there, so she's our girl this week.

Unlike CC Cissnei, Rebirth Cissnei's hair a lot more red for some reason. different bang, and a little bit taller too I think?

I think Cissnei deserve more animations. She should get more love than Jessie imo. I really want to see more of her from bunch of crazy talented animators out there. Especially because of what she did in CC covering Zack and Cloud. girl is an angel despite being a Turks. ....so yeah perhaps more of CC Cissnei in the next revisit.... I'll debut the Rebirth one right on queue though. But basically just means more Cissnei incoming. And I need it. I want her.

Next week, I think I'll go rig 14 character next before I continue rigging the rest of side characters from 7. an Elezen is high probability. especially the one I keep wanting to rig but get pushed to the side by new characters every patch. And an update to Sphene model perhaps. I could add the new hair and costume easily no problem.

I'll just make another save for the new Sphene. 2 Sphenes in 1 scene scenario I keep hearing doesn't sound bad to me. I haven't catch up on the lore though. Hopefully I'll remember to watch the new 14 lore and not just Blender tutorials and WIPs on Youtube.

UP NEXT

Vivian is next. I had her solo in mind, but a cameo or two would fit the frame just fine. only if idea strikes.

After Vivian, I'll animate Fran. the Fran with FF14's hands and feet. Penelo making a cameo also sounds nice. as usual, no promises. The difference in model quality will be really apparent. and if I remember correctly, I didn't even add Penelo's costume to her rig.

Well that's about it. Thanks for your kind support and donations as always m(_ _)m

Please do take care and stay safe! I wish you the best of luck in this trying times. godspeed! see you!
