all right new
version it looks like a bug trapped
under a glass I Googled that bug it's
some sort of demonic Cricket that takes
chunks out of your skin when provoked
chunks is the word that Google
used cool I like it
definitely more
focused in terms of what the characters
are doing where they're looking I do
like that were you added that full
turnaround and I think it's okay since
he has the most tension here I think
it's okay for her and I like that Poe
too with this here it's
great it looks like a just careful what
I would say is that upwards move they're
really in sync she goes up he goes up
here looks I think I would just go after
it Raven cheese done this is for me no
that's a full screen here and there you
go R 42
that's when I would initiate this and
it's you know it's not much what is this
two two frames earlier so maybe
41 looks yeah just a bit earlier just a
smidgen
it it looks like
yeah he does have the reaction in his
eyes but it's this that I'm trying to
uncouple then going up at the same time
it's like a bug tra
this I don't mind that overlap here
trapped under a glass and I do like so
she gets up and then over so the I have
two notes in terms of I mean this this
was already a note but the two biggest
things that that so three I would say
not that this is huge but I would still
uncouple this the bigger one to me is
this here when she starts turning yes he
has a dart up but there's no adjustment
to me at this point point he is looking
up and past her you mean like here I buy
it somewhere around the ear trying to
draw but anyway and then now he's kind
of spaced out and by now she took a
ginormous step to the left and he just a
too high and too far to the side here is
better it's a bit too low the too high
it's in between that bu some sort this
is not I don't know too high to me
demonic Cricket that takes
chunks not looking at her your skin when
provoked now he looks back at her this
is probably the one I buy the most in
terms of eyeline chunks and then this
one's good too this is the word that
Google
used now suddenly slightly higher I know
it's it's very subtle but you have a bit
of a change there where suddenly it goes
up but it works better in the second
half I guess huh the first not so much
so to me the biggest one here is just
that that turn he would look down Dart
around cuz he is really focused on
everything she's saying and does right
you can see all the little reactions
there on something this big to me he
would he could even take a tiny step
forward but definitely readjust his
eyeline and
focus maybe not the step forward because
he does it already here but it's it's
it's to me it's almost like she's
turning now she's more receptive to what
I'm going to say I'm going to go a
little bit closer but maybe just like a
a lean forward that then goes into the
bigger Lean soone Like You Like a double
under a glass I Googled yeah instead of
one big one you could do like a tiny
like maybe this much but not high but to
the left and he goes forwards imagine
he's starting to lean like in your in
your rotation it wouldn't be like right
now it feels like you have a lean and
then you could do a something like that
you lean slight Paws not flat but slight
Paws around it in the curve and forward
that bug it's some sort of demonic
Cricket that takes chunks out
of that takes
chunks slightly I like the asymmetry but
then at this point we're suddenly to me
to mirrored even though we're low here
and there's an asymmetry here just the
action suddenly feels Cricket that takes
chunks I know it feels a to Twin and
also the chunks part because of this
here it's to me it's more like a dipping
it's almost like oh man this is such an
old reference like Palmer Leaf used to
be uh I don't know how you pronounce
that correctly it's when I used to hear
it as a kid in Switzerland but like you
would be like green dish soap or
something and there was a commercial
that you put your fingers in your
fingertips it would be good for your
fingers I don't know that's what this
reminds me of is so weird punks and not
as in like a chunk grabbing or being
pull or something I'm not quite
connecting that gesture which is of
course Very subjective but that's my my
kind of worry there chunks out of your
skin when provoked chunks is this one is
the other big one so for me it's a
turnaround in his focusun and this one
is the up and down down on the head
chunks is it's a bit too bouncy this
feels to me suddenly overan animated
chunks is and I think I mentioned that
before but it's it's something where the
action is so big in terms of eyes closed
the tension here going forward this big
move and then you listen to The Voice
when provoked chunks it's just not quite
there I feel like chunks is the energy
visually and chunks is how he says it to
me there's so much movement that I I I
would hear more strain and energy change
in the voice again picky but that's just
something I'm just usually picky about
provoked
chunks so to me it's almost like you can
do it instead of skin when provoked
chunks instead of this far forward it
could be maybe only this far and instead
of up like this with the hand it could
be like a sideswipe just kind of
minimizing keeping the idea but just
minimizing the the energy of
it is the word that Google
used chunks is the word that Google used
and don't do it just throwing out an
idea cuz it's always like this is a
crappy idea or maybe could be or a
version of it could be better but I'm
wondering what if chunks chunks it's
like this is the word that and then is
the word that Google used on that thing
you relax the
fingers and you close up those three and
you point and close this and it's almost
like is is what Google use it's like a
little pointy gesture it's like uh I
would say it's a sub POS it's kind of
it's a it's a deviation of this here but
it's almost like oh I'm already in this
pose I might as well the word that
Google use now get into a less
aggressive pose and more into like an
explaining pose with like oh like a
little point you like oh that's
something by the way that's something
that Google said that that could be
interesting so you're not stuck in that
at the end again subjective but wanted
to throw that out there maybe you like
it maybe not maybe that gives you
another idea for something else um but
that's kind of that and again I really
like how you tweaked it into her cuz
that's again a pose where like I don't
really believe in any of this and
whatever and I'm just going to take a
step back CU you're weird but but I like
this this is a really neat pose and it
reads really well from like a
tricky profile back view so that's
really cool all right that's that thanks
