First peek of animation

Here's a small preview of Nathan the Lakeprince going through the Lake City with the fisherman. The video compression is horrible, but you can fill in the gaps with the power of imagination. Use the POI to give Nathan a mouth as well.

Some backgrounds (for your eyes only)

Project overview

Tall Tales from the Trail is an animated short following three different "tall tales" as told by the No Name Cowboy, your archetypical laconic wrangler. The title and story frame is based on the horror anthology series "Tales from the Crypt" and the comics by the same name (or variations thereof). Themes vary from supernatural encounters to more common tales of human interactions, all woven in a web of thrills, adventure, action and eroticism.
