Got my answer from Dene about Reaver "summoning the Shadow Court into this world"
Basically, they're there around him always, so it wasn't summoning. They're just there, not popping into existence. This is just a quick test on that. I'm not quite happy with it, so I'll try a few more times soon enough.
Jax animation test on Krita! I haven't used Krita in a while and I'm not gonna lie I feel like abandoning Adobe Animate for hand drawn animation; drawing just doesn't feel good on Aa... it feels klunky and it's a bit difficult for me to get into the groove of actually drawing :/ though I feel that I'd still be able to use it for compositing and puppet animation (and even then the puppet animation is still also a lil klunky but its fine-)
