AGI Studio - Disintegrate

This gif started as a 30 Minute Challenge but I set myself up for too big a goal to finish in 30 minutes, so I went overtime.

The prompt was to make something transform, explode or collapse, and I thought of something collapsing and disintegrating into particles. The part where I probably spent too much time on this exercise was having a walk cycle develop into a disintegration.

Ultimately I am really happy with this result because as well as having the disintegration effect in 2d animation, I have used rubber hose style effectively in this sequence. rubber hose works really well for a quick animation because I dont have to worry as much about something looking 'realistic,' and the design elements of using peanut and heart shapes made drawing the frames so much quicker than my realism style.
