Curses! Frankenstein walking

This piece was created for Curses!. It's 8 colors.

I employed a different animation technique here from my typical walk cycle that I use for most of my animated sprites. I tried using all the individual body parts as cutout elements that move around each other, with another "cleanup" layer on top for fixing the outline and adjusting other stray pixels here and there. The awkwardness is half-intentional and half accidental; I definitely wanted to keep the arms moving in the same direction as the legs (instead of opposite the legs, like the way people actually walk) to show the awkwardness of the monster. It might still need some work, but I think the result is pretty neat.
