[Behind The Scenes] Cynthia Makes You Her Pokémon (Femdom, Pet Play, CBT, A2M, Edging, Armpit Worship, CEI)

This JOI used 3D exclusively, as well as featuring Live2D elements and pet play.

Uncensoring & Cutting out

All images in this JOI were cut out and uncensored, however some assets required more work than others.

An example of such is the following Live2D setup. From the top left picture and its variants, the images on the right were manually cut. Missing sections (such as the arms, censored areas, and covered up areas) were drawn back on. These sections were brought into Live2D for animations.

Live2D use

Up until now, assets were being animated through After Effects puppeting or keyframe movement. However, puppeting in After Effects can get very complicated, making it only ideal for simple animations (e.g. spit, cum). Similarly, keyframe movement is also not ideal, as it's usually very barebones, and doesn't provide the elasticity and skin movement that puppeting does. In order to get smoother animations, I took it upon myself to learn Live2D from scratch. I found the program to significantly help - making the process of actually animating more of moving one slider, than 5 different variables.

The spit in the first Live2D scene was animated in post through after effects puppeting, as Live2D proved mostly useful for repeat animations.

3D

Using 3D exclusively for the video worked really well. The effect is very subtle most of the time, but it adds a lot. Using 3D, only the camera has to move, making it unnecessary to size things differently overtime. Additionally, sizing and positioning are usually on different keyframes in 2D, compared to them being combined into one in 3D - making workflow smoother.

Script & Research

After watching videos about Cynthia's character, and reading about her, I've gathered all of the possible places the viewer could meet her. One of these places is Undella Town at the Pokémon Black and White game and anime show. The player stumbles upon her vacation home and has to battle Cynthia. The viewer, hearing of Cynthia but being unaware of how strong or far she's willing to go, had to lie to Cynthia within the story so she doesn't go light on him - since Cynthia is generally seen as a mature and kind character.

Cynthia being a really strong Pokémon trainer (possibly the strongest), made some pet-play as a really good fit for this video - teaching the weak trainer just how harsh training should really be. Just about almost everything in this JOI has a reasonable reason within story.

Sound design

Sound design went through a similar process as all of my other videos. For example, for moans or wet sounds, I use the OpenNSFW pack, but work with it wisely. Samples that sound the most similar to the character are picked and stitched together (sometimes from different actors), in order to provide an immersive experience. In this JOI, some sounds were sped up or slowed down to fit Cynthia's voice as closely as possible.

Music was also considered for this JOI, however after testing, the idea was dropped. Music is nice to have in the introduction, but at any point after, it is distracting and doesn't fit the vibe the video is going for. Music was later removed from the introduction as well as other sections of the video felt emptier because of it.

Future plans

3D and more Live2D usage (for animations) will probably be used in future videos, as they worked out pretty well. Additionally, I've personally felt the countdowns to be just a tiny bit too quick, even though they were more accurate - in future videos, I may revert back to slower countdowns when the 10 second mark is reached.
