I really appreciate the kind words!
While this model took me all week, animations are, for the most part, intuitive to me, and they probably took less time than the modeling, maybe even the texturing. And I was able to get chunks of it done at a time.
My main method is to do a rough animation and see if any adjustments are needed for inbetweens.
I do tend to make a lot of small adjustments as I go, though. That can chew up time. But I make it look how I want it to look first, and then it's just a process of tuning the timing. I feel the system is really good for quick changes like that.
Also, the copy and paste system is a maaaaassive time saver
Thanks again!
