Her tifa animation the thrusting was good. It's the time constraint that is messing with her right now I think, seems she is doing weekly polls and animation in weekly timeframe. But the more reps she gets in the better she will get so I agree loops is good news. Whether she sticks to them forever we just have to see.Me personally I think loops with a finish are ideal. It would allow us to get more content and possibly for her to improve quicker. I do agree the thrusting was weak in the Ashley one, sped it up to 1.40x myself. I think she could learn a bit from the way Noname55 animated a lot of thrusting in his dog loops, it felt really natural and bailed the animalistic aspect of it. Happy to hear she's choosing something as sustainable as loops though.
She does seem to like "story" so eventually she should do something like 3 to 5 loops that can be tied together once they all done. Adding her filler scenes or whatever.
