Superhero Suit-Up Animation (nsfw) (Patreon)

The Saucy Hippo Vault has been updated with a bunch of pieces of Alexa suiting up in a Star Sapphire costume, anime-transformation-sequence-style. You'll find a full nsfw animated(!) version, as well as some "still" versions and a blast from the past, in Recent Additions.

This piece has a fun backstory! Way back in 2015, when I launched my first ever ebook of pin-up art, I offered a version that included a small custom black-and-marker pin-up commission. One fan in particular requested a piece of Alexa transforming into a Star Sapphire (from Green Lantern), so that's what they got!

Well, all these years later, that fan is still a fan (and one of your fellow Patreon backers)... and they thought it would be cool to commission me to draw an updated, full colour version of the piece in my current art style. I thought this was a really fun idea! Especially when I realized that, by drawing the piece digitally, I could make a whole little animated anime transformation GIF out of it this time. 

In Recent Additions, you can check out the  actual original 2015 drawing alongside my new versions. It's pretty wild comparing them side by side. I like to think I've come a long way!

Let me know what you think, and if you like the animation! I am not an animator, but still pieces with limited animation are something I can do, if it makes sense for the piece.
