WIP of the drawing!!! Her eyes were initially gonna be open but I figured closing them would add more character.

One thing about Janet that I haven't talked about nearly enough is her unstoppable love of iced coffee... she is very very specific about how she likes it prepared lol

I used a mix of parenting the meshes directly to the bones without deform and for certain parts (the arms, legs, and cape), I just added a few loop cuts to the preexisting mesh and edited the automatic weights.

It also looks like the simplest way I could’ve done it.

It’s not shown here but I also hooked up the base, cape, and broom textures to (SEPARATE) drivers that controlled the opacity so I could hide and show them at will!

Most importantly, though… I DIDN’T NEED A TUTORIAL FOR THIS ONE!!! I combined what I was doing before the tutorials with my knowledge afterwards and tried a few new things and all went well in the end!

Anyway I am still ECSTATIC with how this turned out!!! 3D animation is a lot more fun than I thought it was too… (and maybe I’m starting to hate blender a little less?)

If I have the energy today (strong IF) I would love to try modeling Paper Mache Girl too.

(I’ve also been pacing around my room since I realized if I can fully rig the model AND do it easily I might possibly hypothetically be able to do a 3D series of BBtH? I mean I sound insane but consider)
