One of the things we're currently working on is a couple of cutscenes which needed to be finished in order for us to update the beta. For Teddy, that means a lot of programming, for Fred it means he has to do a bunch of flavor animations, and for me it's time to give characters new expressions.
This is what the Autumn Elder looks like in her default portrait. It's a facial expression that's pretty neutral and works with a lot of scenes, but not for this cutscene, where she needs to be a bit more angry and upset!
In order to make new expressions, I make a new folder on top of the finished painting and name it 'Expressions' so I know what to find in it. After that I make new layers, naming them after the expression I intend to paint, and start painting on top of the already finished portrait.
Here we go:
 |
| Expression 1: Angry/Upset looking |
 |
| Expression 2: Another basic portrait, but more serious/grim this time. |
 |
| Expression 3: Mindless, whatever could have happened to her..? :o |
After finishing the expressions needed for the Autumn Fae, I do the same with the other characters that need new expressions in this cutscene. Below you can view all the expressions, as they look in the game.
