2021 VS 2024 Animation Difference

(I deleted the outline to the eye shines in the new animation after sharing. I think that's the right move going forward.)

I think I'm better now lol

Just press the flag and watch. The first animation was made in 2021 for the pilot episode. I updated the character designs so I needed to also update the animations. I am rewriting the pilot so I don't know if this scene will still be a part of it, but I felt like it was a good embodyment of how Jex behaves, plus it's good practice.

2024 was a lot closer to how I imagined this scene actually playing. I've improved the animation itself, but also updated the way I'm rendering backgrounds and added more camera motion which adds to a more lively experience.

The new artstyle is slightly more expressive too I think which is good. + it's way easier to animate without all the details on that coat (honestly that coat being annoying to animate was the main reason I redesigned her)

Anyway, what do you think?

As always fanart/fanfiction/theories/etc are welcome!
