Quick thing on the blue ray is that you can bypass the region lock by selecting a different region in a blue ray player or application or having a region-free player.

[@CalebArty]

Thanks for the tip Toasty, my Blu-ray player won’t allow me to change regions and looking into region free players there expensive, I’ll keep my eye out for a cheep one though. Thanks for the comment!

[@aki9438]

@@CalebArty if you get the cheapest blu ray drive for your PC you can find, you can then rip your discs to a usb. I am assuming your blu ray player has a usb port since they usually do, you can play your disc rips off the usb on to your TV - region coding is irrelevant here

[@kixville]

The thing about that is, most bluray players that allow region changing only allow it a handful of times, then it's stuck at the last change you made. Also, it might be cheaper to get a dedicated Region A player than to get a region free one. I don't know what those cost overseas, I'm in America, but region unlocked players are considerably expensive compared to factory players. Also, if you want to rip blu-rays from any region you have to look for a blu-ray PC drive that is able to do that, you can't get just any drive.

Hey I never knew about the animation 4: proportions, personality, expressions, style. Hair being the essential part of a character is something I didn't think of. And eyebrows being a great tool for expressions is something is something knew to me, but also transfering those eyebrow positions to the eyes themselves is amazing! Thank you for bringing all this up! I think it would've been cool if you presented every drawing you've made along this journey (even if they previously appeared in the video).

I always have difficulty using the construction lines and capturing the character's likeness at the same time.

If I forego the construction, it feels like I'm not learning anything even if the result turned out OK eventually. Nice, Taiga was a great choice! 😊
