it’s honestly deeply embarrassing how much queer discourse is over semantics around labels for sexuality that are functionally identical

Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! One more thing - the @Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading! https://t.co/myqsJ3fVzn

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from @SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

Say it with him, folks!!

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah... Just like this.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by @Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

After I rendered out the individual poses, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by @Clairvoire.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…

[Chelsea Saunders @PIXELATEDCROWN]

These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
