Obeisance to the Honeyed Ape
Cranekicksquatch by Jesus Chambrot
No one I know makes drawings that wed the cute and the gruesome as readily as Jesus. By readily I mean compulsively. His other sketch of Sam was at least as creepily endearing.
Here’s one of the animation tests I promised Neil I’d post . . . months ago. This is the second version. On my first attempt I limited the swing of his arms so they’d dangle at his sides, just like the reported Realsquatch. I thought it mostly worked so I vetted it past the Larrys, both Huber and Leichliter. They weren’t as sold on it. So I took another pass:

(Edit- Sorry, I posted the wrong test earlier.) The first version looks like a Jumping Jack in comparison. I worried that he’d look too forceful with this stride but, since he’s walking on 16’s, his arms keep the unhurried swing I thought they would lose by widening the arc. No, sir. Now it’s better than it was before. Better. Stronger. Faster . . .
Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh.

Thanks, Mike. Though I just realized I posted the wrong animation test. That was Conrad’s walk test and I meant to post Sam’s seeing as that was the thrust of the post. I am chagrined.

it’s too good lookin. Sam needs to drain that bile out of his feet.
