Sorry no tutorial this time.
Edit: I realize the first couple frames that I was working with didn't really matter whether ShiShi was used or not, oops >_< (This is what happens when you are spriting @3 AM!) But you get the idea though, right? Also, notice I had 2-3 Balthier bases prepared before work. I could have done all of those frames at once, and then start cleaning up afterwards (would have been a lot faster), but stupid me went ahead with this approach instead. This video was primarily made to demonstrate how to work frame by frame with ShiShi.
