...another fine mess you got yourself into.

I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.

"Sir, is the Super Scaler effect really necessary for a cutscene like this?"

"I coded it, didn't I?"

...let's be honest, I'm a character designer, not a master of hi-res pixel art.

This is supposed to be the backside of a large alien spaceship. It looks too much like a giant escape pod with thrusters. I'm keeping the large tentacles, though.

Whoooooa, we're halfway there!

...in terms of cutscenes.

Testing out a tentacle...

Don't worry, I backed up the other one, but I'm going with this for the alien spacecraft. Part UFO, part retrofuturist rocket, and only three tentacles for the tripod look.

Some big motions require big animation.

The least I can do is try to get the big motions right before drawing all the other details.

Resistance is futile.

Line work first, then shading.

Also, if you're asking "where's her hair?", that's gonna animate separately.

I might have to put this in a little black box on-screen, but that's no problem for me.
