WIP: Dirty Dishes

Got around to starting the next animation. Like before this one was a lot of setup using folders and the like. But I think it typically results in smoother movement.

This is the commission from a user on Pixiv. He wanted a wholesome vibe. So I tried to capture that playful housewife vibe. So stuff like the playful hip wiggle and her not really minding he just walked up behind her and stuck it in hopefully sell the vibe of a young couple "experiencing" youth. 

I'm also taking some of the lighting practice I did with my ganyu piece and the comic and implementing it here. I think the result is sharper shadows and more clear light/dark areas and well defined forms. Obviously lighting is something that can be worked on forever so I opted to stop here for now instead of this WIP update being "look at this empty room I lit up!"

If you can tell, the lesson I'm trying to get here is emotion and expression. I'm trying to connect the looks on the face with the motions of the body. While at the same time trying to get the movement to be a bit more realistic? Well, less stiff at least. 

So I'm incorporating more small movements that seem inconsequential but hopefully add up to a more expressive character.

Anyways, thanks for checking out this WIP.
