IT IS FINALLY DONE. HEYYYYYYYY
i am SO unbelievably excited to share this animation, this video is the first long project i’ve done (besides maps) since Delivery (which was in Dec. 2021). this is also FINALLY an animation about PARTNERS IN CRIME!!! BRIAN AND TERRI!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAUGH
Partners in crime is a story between me and the bestie @thelovelyladylil that we have been developing for literally 4 years now since we were 13, and it is still going STRONG. we are so extremely passionate about this story and would love to go further with it someday, so stay tuned :))
I am so excited about this animation because I took on a lot of things that I haven’t done before/haven’t attempted in a long time, such as crazy ass fight scenes and different perspectives and impact frames and just long animations in general. I hope you enjoy! Read further down if you are interested in the characters/story!
I also think I am going to do a progress video about this if anyone would be interested, where I can point out some intentional details/symbols and also show the storyboards and progress. If I do make that video I will link it here!
this is technically the How Did You Love Animation Meme, but I went so far off the original concept that I’m just calling it an animation, however the original and my inspiration for starting this project are linked below!!

STORY/CONTEXT:
This revolves around my character, Terri Serrano an exstreetfighter (however this takes place during the streetfighter arc) struggling with a lot of her own personal issues, having lost people she loved and losing a lot of herself along the way. Until she meets Brian Ballare, @thelovelyladylil 's character he also had a difficult upbringing but after years of recovery is in a place to help Terri back on her feet, and away from her streetfighting career.
The tyrannical leader of the streetfighting organization, Malik Figueroa, utilizes Terri’s skills to generate revenue from people betting against her. He cares about money and himself only, much to Terri’s demise, as the job takes a massive physical and mental toll on her.
This is only a teeny tiny tidbit of the whole story, this just helps explain some of the lore behind this animation. Stay tuned for future content about these guys :))) HUEHEUHEHGEGHEHGEHGHGEHGE
Thank you all SO much for your love and support, it means the world!!
