"Sorry" Final Animation" (clip 10_1)

As I went forward with the idea, I tried to get at least all the keyframes with the chosen character Jude Sharp from Inazuma Eleven, but I couldn't figure out the next poses, as I didn't take anything as a reference for the initial animatic.

I didn't manage to go forward, so I've taken up another idea and actually picked something easier with reference.

I've taken advantage of the 3D models available on the Clip Studio Paint assets library, taken a generic sitting pose, and modified it as I wanted from the starting point to the finishing point.

To go on with the animation, I picked out one of my original characters who perfectly fits in the animation sequence, Dynamis Kukhar.

Dynamis is an Arabian prince who seems to have a strong and firm personality, but in reality, has a soft spot made especially for women, that is always hidden behind his unmeasurable arrogance.

From the previous scenario I thought, I opted to let it be as it is, but adapted it to the prince, that instead of keeping himself kind and composed, he actually acts both tired and guilty, going on feeling shy while apologizing, and then snapping out super embarrassed and frustrated from the situation when inviting the female opponent to sit down.

Happy with the frames, I wrapped all the work into the main assignment, the lip sync, which was difficult to achieve due to the impossibility of playing back in real-time the clip while adding the in between frames, so I had to almost guess where I was going to draw the next type of mouth for the speaking bit, but the final product still came somehow.

I know that everything is quite stiff, so I tried to play all my cards into the facial expressions and the few movements I could merge into the animation without burning out myself into thinking that a full animation of it was better and required when is not.
