GX Finalized-Subs!81 (WIP) - A Strapping Issue (Installment #12 probably)

Meant to try to show this off early last week once I had finished the edit up, but lol got busy and forgot.

So, one of my “favorite” (affectionate) reoccurring animation errors–should go back and check how many of these I have found so far lol–comes in here in episode 81, as Judai has Burstlady attack one of Kanda’s Quiz Panels after the eyecatch. As you can see, in the first clip as Judai declares her attack, Burstlady’s drawn without her shoulder strap connected to the cuff on her arm as she usually is; in the second clip shown, as she fires her Burstfire, not only is her shoulder strap still missing–her shoulder is now colored like the red on her outfit too (this one I don’t think I’ve bumped into too often in the show; I know I fixed an error like that back in the OP1 video).

I fixed these frames in Photoshop, painting in the shoulder strap/cuff combo (and fixing the third frame’s error on the part of her outfit where the coloring of her right breast’s skin cuts into the red part), while also recoloring her shoulder in the second clip’s frames and using the original coloring as a guide to draw on the shoulder strap. For the second clip, I also added a light screen layer to light up the edit as the light from the flames were around it. I think I did a pretty good job keeping it looking consistent throughout, and I figured it’d make sense to keep the cuff highlights as I extended it into the shoulder strap while adding the shading; hopefully it does look good!
