After drawing a whole bunch of individual frames for an animation, I like to create a mockup to see how it will work, how much I want it to move, and to refine everything. This mockup alone helped me fix quite a lot of issues (especially with the north-facing roll)!

I thought it’d be fun to decorate the scene a little bit more too. I like to think Farmer Hibu is either cheering Tav on… or acting as a drill sergeant.
