Animation Failure: This Abomination

Captains 12 frames walk cycle. Now scrapped, it's too bouncy and happy for this genre. This is nye horror, nye serious. The chest area has way too much jiggle physics. Mistakes were made. I'm sorry overly-sexy / happy version of captain - RIP.

As you can see by the specimen, the original was way too cartoon-like.  Perhaps, the arms are too swingy too on the latest draft - work in progress. A 12 Frame Walk Cycle. Oh why must I torture myself with such high fidelity madness.

Background Updates

A got a sketch back from the artist I'm commissioning for a few backgrounds
