Tifa (Final Fantasy) WIP

Hey everyone. Let’s talk Tifa today, and how this animation came together. Also, thanks to everyone who voted in the last poll. Every time something new gets added there’s that little voice going “okay, but is this too much?” It’s great that our opinions line up. The votes against are an important point of view too. It’s easy to overdo this kind of thing, so balance is what matters.

First of all, what sets her apart is the realism compared to other characters. Every time we work with her, it calls for an individual approach. There have been Tifa pieces before, you can find them in the collection. This character doesn’t have the huge tits, ass and everything else that’s typical for characters from other franchises. That puts certain quirks and limits on animating her movement, and it mostly comes down to the bones. The right call here is short movements across different parts of the body. That’s how you get the elasticity you’re after.

To highlight the most important details, the decision was made to go with a face-to-face camera. The bar counter and the dim lighting bring out the passion and spontaneity of it. And those who know what’s special about that arcade machine will get the element of risk in what’s happening 😉
