GX Finalized-Subs!91 - A Strapping Issue #419

Follow-up to this more-of-a-shitpost highlighting this animation error (and the dub’s… take) for easy linking/reference in my upcoming GX 91 and 92 release post; showing off the fixes I made here to Burstlady’s semi-recurring missing shoulder strap! Haven’t had one of these pop up in a while, lol.

Essentially went into Photoshop with each of these frames and drew on the full strap, using the inner outline on her shoulder as a guide–the first four frames here are back-to-back as Burstlady was lit up (I also redrew some of the light lines over the new strap for blending), with the next three being back-to-back as the lighting dims down, then the next one was one movement frame lasting two frames, and the ninth keeps her still as she flies closer to Featherman to fuse (as I threw these fixes back into the video, I keyframed this one to re-zoom Burstlady out as she flew upward, then masked it so the edit itself was blended into the video and moved with her); each frame after as they start to is a frame long and I stopped once Burstlady is fully mixed in (since they’re only a frame long, she’s a bit hard to really see anyway, but for completion’s sake and all). For the frames where she was lit up, I first drew on the strap in one frame, then copy/pasted the layers involved and redrew some light lines/adjusted for brightness to match the lighting as needed.

Here’s a quick gif of the scene in action; think it came out nicely!
