I've been working on the character turns that never end. Part of the problem is I'm not finding a lot of time outside of class but I'll need to strive to find some time to get these things squared away. I did think I wrapped up my first final turn, a Worker from the year 5173, but the little problem I saw on the pencil test looks more pronounced on the final inked and colored version.
So, crap, I ain't done with this yet.
But I think I got it figured out. The above video shows a mash up of the pencil, inked, and final turns. There is a little wobble but I think the part that bugs me is the jump from the profile to the 3/4 is too severe and I'll need at least two more drawings (front and back) between those steps. Really, my 3/4 is more of a two-thirds and I'll need a 1/3 in there to smooth it out. Look at the below drawings to see what I mean.
Look at the jump between the above and below. Too severe of a transition.
I can't spend forever on these things even though it already does seem like an eternity. But I have about three more to finish. I did originally plan on picking one and giving it some extra drawings to experiment with smoothing out the animation beyond the basic 7 drawings needed for a turn and it looks like this will be the one.
Back to the animation coal mines I go....
