Well today was productive! I wasn't able to be on for as long as I normally like, but still got a few good animating hours in.
The idea is come'n together more and more! The first video shows the key frames. Basically the main poses that make up the animation. The next 3 videos show a lot of cleaning up and adding detailed frames and inbetweens to help it look smooth. There is a front view, a side view, and an action camera view!
Still have a fair bit to clean up. The back arm, the belly and a few other odds and ends need to be animated to help sell this. It blows my mind sometimes that I'm able to put things like this together. I'm sure someday I'll be able to admit to myself that I may be good at these sorts of things.

Low res samples of a couple maps I've made for my husband. He wanted arena maps that fit the style and look of some of the bigger maps I've been making. I can't wait to see what doom awaits our characters in these locations...
Spoiler is for a map that has a lot of fleshy masses. The content may be disturbing to others.

Thank you Augie for commissioning me! I'm glad you are happy with the outcome! It was fun to create this absolute cutie!
