I thought I would give some more life to this character, so i've tried to do a walk cycle here. I could have broken the figure down into more bones for a more nuanced animation, but I was feeling impatient and went with a simpler skeleton. I'm pretty happy with how it worked out, particularly the feet. I wasn't sure if I should break the feet down into 2 or 3 separate units - I just used one to save time and it seems ok. All the fire effects might be distracting from animation errors, lol.

I used a combination of photoshop and after effects for this, and a bit of corel painter at the start for sketching the character.

Here's a link to a version with a background and some fire effects: youtu.be/VXx6vKWDTFo
