What medium(s) of animation were you working with? 2D cut-out, 2D hand-drawn, 3D, mocap?

For a second I thought that was the THORN at the bottom left but I am pretty sure that's just the cactus needle xdd

God damn you are cracked. The consistency, the body motions and the friggin ribbons. it's all amazing

Those are actually beautiful shapes for the mouth on Yi's "smile"

I was just thinking of this one today. What timing!

Very nostalgic

One last question: does that mean that until you go over filling in the hair and pelt and the like, your characters are animated bald?
That's the approach I took and have seen others take, but it's always kind of funny all the same

Especially considering it is not unusual and sometimes is even a standard to have multiple finished rough passes or iterations, revisions etc. Redoing stuff is kind of just part of the process, I suppose.
Plus it'd definitely be good drawing practice for me

Yeah I've encountered a similar problem. It is only natural that the way hair or such moving parts are drawn in spread apart key frames are often not matching the rest of the motion
I thought maybe it was my flaw in how I approached key framing, but I feel redrawing should just be something I accept

If I may ask: did you have a rougher pass before this or did you go straight to these lines?
And also, do you animate everything at once or do you go through animating the body first, then adding the hair and pelt sways and drag?
Very curious about how your workflow approaching something like this
