Hey folks! Time to introduce a new rival co-worker for Janet, Lycia! I originally intended her to be more airheaded, but it turns out she might be as scary as Janet. Sheesh...
Where will this go, you wonder? Well if I tell you the Deluxe will feature a (non-graphic) birth, perhaps you can guess. Of course, plans can change, but for now the idea I have seems to be the most interesting. And if you like Janet's and Lycia's interplay, I have ideas to continue their office rivalry further...
I would have posted this sooner but Rive decided to play silly buggers. All resolved, so here's the animation. Oh, and there are a few quickie bonus scenes at the end, one with Janet pregnant and Lycia even more pregnant. These tiny additions will likely remain exclusive to Patreon.
Anyway, that's enough outta me. Time to plan the Deluxe and maybe make a quickie gif before that? We'll see. Thanks for your support and patience!

Congrats on the baby boy, I'm looking forwards seeing what's next :D
I for one am a fan of the new OC's design
nice, look forward to the continuation. though Lycia's hands look weird with her fingers fully spread walking around.
In my mind I was going for a walk cycle that looked lackadaisical and carefree, but in hindsight you're right, it does look a bit weird. I'll have a fiddle with it and see if I can make it look better. Thanks for pointing it out!
You know, I didn't have Janet struggling to keep her professional side and love of pregnant bellies in check on my 2026 bingo card. But hey, always love seeing new sides of characters and that lower perspective is wonderful! (And very good to know that Janet really does love all kinds of huge pregnancies, not just herself carrying them.)
That's my kind of "character development" 😏
The new animations look so crispy i love them
Man, I'd have the worse case of rubberneck if I worked in that office.
Yesssss. Janet is still my favorite! Office Rivalry for the win! Need moar Janet! Team Janet! ....and what's this about Janet having more babies than Valentine's day. Have we missed some conceptions?
Too many to count...
Can't wait for the birth in the deluxe but damn, I keep forgetting how smooth the animations in rive are!
Awesome
They should just kiss and get over their rivalry obviously >:]
😏
i can't wait to see the deluxe their rivalry is so good
Admittedly when I first learned this animation would focus on a new OC and not Janet I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy it, but this really changed my mind. I really like Lycia's design, both on its own and as a contrast to Janet's, plus her passive-aggressiveness shows she's at least aware enough to be her rival, which I think is more interesting than her being totally oblivious. Janet's mixed reactions were also fun to watch, I think it's the perfect blend of jealousy and affection. Overall I'm definitely excited for the Deluxe and future animations between the two, I think it's a neat way to add new story ideas to characters we're all very familiar with. Honestly, I really hope you do the same to Bess Rodan and her family, I'd love to see Bess' sisters or other relatives and how they use the family gift. In any case, great job, Dim.
I have to agree. Although I'm not as won over by Lycia. I do think that an in-office rivalry can escalate and elevate things to a higher level and it is this that I am very much won over by. This looks like the recipe for the perfect storm inside Janet's office. There is a lot of potential here. EDIT: Oh, and I want to differentiate that while I may not be won over by Lycia, I do think she's a perfect rival for Janet.
Big if true, I can't remember the last time a new character had a birth in their debut animations
Again, won't be too graphic, but expect belly and lots of thigh 😈
Such a cool dynamic, would love to see them both in and out of the office.
Fuuuck the low angle shots 🫣
