I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

last one for now- fiddling with the curves tool (i think "tone curves" in clip?) is really useful to make characters/objects align more with BG values, especially if viewed in greyscale. just from a point of personal preference

Magnets would probably work, you could also use snap buttons? Like maybe would require specific modification to garmentst hough, but probably would work great if theres certain things she knows she'll always wear a tail with, or it can be easuily disguised

For me it's just heartbreaking seeing a beautiful young girl feel she needs to inject shit into her face to halt her aging... like wtf. Tho to start I didn't care to see season 5 because of that one kid's little "zionism is sexy" thing XD

Scrip for the medicated wash to help my skin was 180 dollars so i ordered a 10 dollar exfoliating glove off amazon instead here's hoping that helps. Not like I'm not used to having garbage ass skin tho.
