Roy Mustang Style snap

2 notes about this.  I rotoscoped the major key frames from reference I took.  I re-timed it to be more conducive to the action I wanted for the snap.  Having never rotoscoped anything before, but being very experienced in motion capture, the process is the same.  Take the action given as it is performed only if it is amazing, otherwise re-time it fix poses, add real inbetweens and personality, make what was a real life motion and turn it into a believable action.

Things I learned, the jitters are really hard to avoid when you are tracing similar images, and when only using 15 original photos as reference and the total frame count being 76, its a lot of legitimate animation.

And personally I'm working through some stuff, finished animating this and now I am on the edge of passing out.  More long days ahead.

This is also my 150th digital animation I've posted.
