Face Rig and Onboarding!

Heeellllllooooooooooooooooooooooo friendos! What's goin' on this week? Good week? I hope so!

I had a fun one over here, built a pretty complex side view face rig for Raven for a ... ahem... very important scene for the film. Got one shot animated for it but next week that will be the main focus. A huge chunk of this week was devoted to onboarding animators, getting them sketches and start frames and giving direction. We've now got nine animators each working on their own shot, got sketches and roughs back from some, and even got a fully finished one from the super talented duo team over at Lacey_SX (the bj shot, then post effects added by me)

Less time spent animating this week since a lot of it went into direction and onboarding, but glad I got that chonky face rig done cause it's going to be used in a pretty big scene that I'm very pumped to do, so the rig had to be very clean. It also means that over the next few weeks shots from animators should just be rolling in while I also get to animate which is purdy cool if I do say so myself!

Spoilers and some cool WIP stuff below, roughs from Lacey, a storyboard, and a color rough of the DP shot from HotPink_Mantra (He did a bunch of the internal shots on Frieren and I'm very happy to have him back for Raven!)
