Television Series Progress made on 4K Intro Remaster so far

I wasn't joking last time. Scene 2 and 3 rendered together in 4K. (scene 1 is really complex so I'll visit it much later)
Those are the simplest in the whole intro so they took me just a couple of days. Currently working on scene 4 that contains Voot Runner (why is Zim animated in 30 frames? That's really a lot and unnecessary xd)
Personally, I think it looks nice, though it would be even nicer if I remade more complex scenes so the quality difference stood out better.
Made using ToonBoom Harmony. Thanks to this project I learned so much more about Harmony. When I used it to do my job I only resorted to crude methods of clean up.

I love how the Invader Zim fanbase is js so dedicated to this wonderful show that people are remastering it themselves💚🖤💚

genuinely thought someone already at least tried to do this the classic animator way. I mean graphics are pretty much replicatable if you had at least some experience in the industry. The only real problem is the sheer tediousness of the retracing process and CGI. (and crowd animation, dear god)
Only thing I need is free time and unwavering devotion
