During the flash animation course I'm doing, we were asked to think of a project to animate. Whilst reading a magazine, soaking up some sun on my balcony, I came across a picture of a deserted island. Then I figured I should make a simple game where you have to collect coconuts and go fishing to score points. The first stage has been finished for a while, being the character design. With a little help from a step-by-step cartooning book, I was able to create this little fellow:

The next stage was to give him some color, make him walk and create the island. This is the result, he will walk endlessly as it's a loop so don't keep staring and waiting for him to do something. That'll be the next stage, where you can control the actions!
