This render was previewed 2 days early for my patrons on Patreon! You don't have to feel obliged to join my Patreon, as I plan to make everything I do public at some point, but any bit of help I receive will be put towards upgrading my hardware that I use to create these renders, and if I get more help I could potentially start taking steps into making this my job (and will release my models to the general public if I make it to $300 per month):

It's been a while! I've been stressing over the quality of my model for a few weeks now, and it kind of got in the way of my releasing things to you guys. Thankfully I got tips from a veteran artist from the fandom and I managed to fix the issues I was having with the facial rig (Shououts to Dilarus. You can find a blog post talking about these changes here:

Now, for the animation itself. I wanted to do Pinkie's signature hop/bounce to practice some more exaggerated squash and stretch. I think it turned out really well here. I spent a huge chunk of my time properly giving this animation some asymmetry. The first hop the left legs have priority and are the main source of the force used to jump. Next are the right legs, and then it loops.

Surprisingly I didn't have too much of a problem animating the hair. I might be getting the hang of it… maybe…?
