This is a reupload of my old DA work, description included.

Asuna appears to have been caught off guard by a boulder in a dungeon somewhere... Let's see if Kirito and the others can find her before she becomes unrecognizable from the rock itself!

==============================================================

Notable Concepts, Ideas, Techniques, and Thoughts:

- This model of Asuna did not have any shape keys or facial bones at all. Not even her hair was rigged; I had to set it all up myself. It was more good practice for creating my own shape keys. Honestly, I only picked this one because I really liked how it looked in comparison to some others.

- Previously, I tried applying textures to my own randomly generated boulders and did not like how they turned out, since they would always be stretched in some places, but now that I have more experience, I'm much more pleased with the results.

- The rendering time for this actually didn't take as long as I thought it would despite being exactly 100 frames long. Perhaps cycles will in fact be the norm from now on for transparent GIFs...?

==============================================================

References, Fun Facts, and Extra Details (For the Curious and the Easter Egg Hunters):

- Hooray, this is the first Sword Art Online piece I've made. I really do want to try branching out to more series if possible, and maybe I'll do something with Leafa or Sinon at some point.
