Spying on Chloé - Playblast (Rough) (Patreon)

First time I'm animating Chloé and it had to be a walkcycle, oof! Here's the very first playblast of Chloé Tease, the first animation that will feature our new anubian jackal!

The premise is fairly simple. There's a POV character spying on Chloé from a nearby cliff outpost. She'll be quick to realize she's being spied on, prompting her to do a *teleports behind u* and join the peeping admirer under the tent. This is going to be a fairly short animation with only a runtime of 1 - 2 minutes and will mainly revolve around sensual mawplay and object vore. The protagonist will also be silent this time around and let Chloé do most of the talking. Chronologically this all happens before Encounter 3, which is why this is basically a prequel to Space Hero arriving at the scene.

There's still a couple of rough spots with this animation, but I'm hoping to iron them out and finish animating the whole intro until the end of this month. There's a good bit of animated material that can be reused for Encounter 3 later on, such as Chloé's walkcycle, which was the first thing I've animated. 

This is also the first animation where I'm following an improved workflow by using animation layers and some additional animation plugins that add a ton of useful tools to Maya. Just using animation layers alone has made my life a lot easier and made it possible for me to quickly animate over her walking animation and add details such as breathing and keeping it all on a separate layer. I still need to improve the camera work a bit for this shot since she's quite small in it, so here's a closer view at her animation for the time being.

Once the intro scene is completed, I'm going straight to rendering with it, so it can take its time rendering over night, while I'll be animating the next shots while I'm awake! Expect the usual playblast posting schedule from here! :D
