Bard WIP Gesture 1

It's lookin' gooooood! 

 I'm still mixed whether I want to do any hard core cell-shading--multiple Multiply layers and dodge layers and atmospherics-- I think I'll just do some two-tone shadows, a multi layer to add more temperature to the face and a linear dodge to make his eyes glow; like a proper Tiefling!

 I think one shading layer plus two for cosmetics is as far as I can reasonably go--I means, I've got 11 more of these fuckers for a full 12 gesture loop-cycle and this is just the FIRST...! And I've got a schedule to finish pre-production by end of April so I can record, cut and load the first video by end of May. 

 (Yyyyyeah, it's taking a minute, but, I'm building up assets so I can script and chop videos faster.) This is a learning process, that requires an incremental acclimation to this kind of work flow, to build up good habits that enable faster and faster production. I'm in this for the long haul, so, I want to make recording and chopping videos second nature. That takes time, muscle memory; building neural pathways that makes video composition as seamless as blind typing on a keyboard: so, yeah: I'm going slow--slower than I'd like, sure--but I'm moving forward, and that's all that matters.
