Bulletproof!

©2007 David C. Matthews

This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time, ever since I created Tetsuko, and decided she possessed a high degree of invulnerability: an animation of her stopping bullets.

The thing I really wanted to show was how the bullets would bounce off her breasts. It's easy to assume that shots would ricochet off her rock-hard muscles the way they do against brick or metal walls; but to have them ricochet like that oof her breasts would indicate that they're equally hard. So I wanted to show that her breasts are as soft and pliable as "normal" breasts, whil still being able to resist bullets.

Adding Sonya was a bit of an afterthought. I figured it would make Tetsuko look more heroic if she was using her ability to protect someone else from harm. And who better than her boss/mentor/best friend?

It's not perfect, by any means. I think the shots move too slowly (but then again, if they moved faster, it might be harder to track their paths), and sometimes they don't stand out against Tetsuko's body enough. Whether I'll do it again and make these corrections, I don't know; I have so many other ideas for cool animations I want to do. And all in all, I think it did turn out pretty well.

(And why is she naked? That was so I could make it an infinitely-repeating loop. Were she wearing clothes, I could show them being shredded by the gunfire, but then I wouldn't be able to loop the animation.)
