🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx! (there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!) 1/5

🌸 Happy New Year lesbians 🌸

Two characters from Hello, Melancholic, one is playing bass while the other gives her a cute loving hug

Two girls about to exchange a passionnate kiss, sitting on the ground, one wearing a dress, her hand in the other's hair, while the other leans toward her

Lesbian couple about to kiss, one holding the other's face, while the other has a hand on her lower back and a lollypop on her right hand

Two girls kissing, standing
The first one wears tights with skulls on them, big shoes, black skirt, crop top, black hair on her shoulders
The other one grabs the first one's face to kiss her, also wearing a skirt, no tights, big sneakers, longer hair falling down her back
