Notes: Wow this is old. I think I started this one a few days before publishing the previous animation, so it’s been like a month by now. I think I just got bored and gave up for a few weeks in the middle, and only started work on this again a few days ago. Hopefully the wait for the next one won’t be as long. I’ve got one in the works already that’s not quite as ambitious, but should still be a good time, and it’s got some cool stuff going on. Anyways, this animation. I’m pretty happy with it. The most interesting part has got to be the way Byleth raises Lysithea up to the table. I knew that I wanted Byleth standing on the table, and I wanted to have them both together at the end of the animation. I wasn’t exactly sure how to get Lysithea up there though. I could have had her cast a warp spell and teleport, or just made her jump really high, but I decided that using the Sword of the Creator as a lift to pull her up was probably way cooler. I’m not exactly sure why I decided on shrinking Lysithea of all characters. I think I knew I wanted to shrink a student for this animation, and Lysithea’s timeskip outfit is one of my favorites. And I only realized it now, but I kind of forgot that I was using her TS outfit, and wrote the story as if she’s still in school. Oops. I like having Byleth and Lysithea both shrink, but having Byleth end up much larger than Lysithea. It makes it much more fun to look at visually, and it lets me have the fun of doing fun things with both sizes. For example, I like picking up characters at the .15x scale, but I think the .05x scale tends to be more fun to work with visually. So Lysithea looks great, but animating her sleeves is a huge pain because they clip through literally everything. I shrunk them down a bit here and they’re still pretty bad. I would have just removed them, but she doesn’t have skin under the upper parts of them. For Byleth her model is mostly good, except there’s a weight painting issue with her root hip bones that I have no idea how to fix. You can see it when she does her superhero landing and there are these weird black spikes extending upwards off her model. I tried to fix it for a while, but just couldn’t figure it out.

Damnit ever time I see these vids my heart pounds a lot faster because I’m wishing shrink rays were REAL!
That's a success for me
I found it VERY cool!
Thanks! Glad you think so!
Very nice, ever considered one where the woman shrinks until she disappears?
Thanks for the idea, but I don't have any interest in doing that.
