The torment of Saint Anthony - Animated painting

As you can read on Wikipedia, "The Torment of Saint Anthony is the earliest known painting by Michelangelo, painted as a close copy of the famous engraving by Martin Schongauer when he was only 12 or 13 years old."

When I encountered this painting I felt amazed because of its grotesque characters and theme. I imagined the kid once Michelangelo was as if he´d be a bored schoolboy doodling monsters on a side of its notebook.

I couldn´t resist to animate it despite the difficulty and time it involves, but this technique is always worth the wait. 

There are some details still to be added, but I wanted to share it with you all as soon as possible.
Here is the first and incomplete versions. The whole project took 45 hours to complete.
