Finally finished!

This short animation was fun to make. Feedbacks/critiques are appreciated.

[MIDF, After Action Report- 58]

Corporal Hallowand and Private Taylor enterred into the overgrown Plaza park at 0:800 hours, with a mission objective of scouting out the interior of the thick forest, namely for survivors. Hallowand reported shuffling and chewing noises emitting from the darker corners of the forest, though the duo did not investigate further due to these… areas being rather off-trail from their route.

Both scouts were equipped with camouflage blouses as well as newer field caps fielding the same pattern as their uniforms, and hoods. Both soldiers stayed within the forest for 10 hours, before emerging in the late evening at 1800, distressed and bedraggled.

The forest, according to them, was infested with an Infected White horde who had been stalking them since the early hours of the morning, and finally struck in the afternoon around 1400. This, hunter-like, predatory behavior aligns with recent reports from other sectors, and has been documented thoroughly. Both soldiers, fortunately were able to make their way back out of the vegetation without bite nor scratch from the White, though they had expended plenty of their ammunition and were down to their last magazines.

The forest is due for larger-scale expedition 2 weeks from now, followed by incineration.

[MIDF, After Action Report- 57]

A scouting party 2 miles south of the market district was ambushed by a group of infected white individuals while traversing the area to the next camp. One of the squad members recounts “They dashed from the nearby buildings at blazing speeds and scrambled across the debris towards us… they were upon us before we could raise our weapons.”

This latest spree of heightened… intelligent behavior has brought concerns to Military command and RSU researchers. Prior to these reports, white behavior exhibited much like pop-culture zombies, with stumbling hordes slowly shuffling towards humans with arms out-reached. Now, they seem to have been using their environment, and utilizing ambush’s to catch unsuspecting victims.

This will be need further research.

[Casualty Report]
-All infecteds eliminated
-Singular casualty, Private Konroe. Jugular and much of the larynx torn apart from bite wounds. Terminated before infection took affect.

Camouflage MIDF blouse- this is my first time making camouflage patterns on stickfigures, would appreciate feedback if it looks good or not.

Field cap and rucksack are done as well, will show a bit later with other things.

The MIDF

The MIDF (Menlo Irregular Defense Force) is a paramilitary organization formed by the Military as a response to the outbreak and catastrophe taking hold in the city. The MIDF are not a professionally trained army, largely made up of able-bodied civilians conscripted into the force or small guerrilla groups of survivors.

They are not well-equipped either, given old hand-me-downs from the military’s outdated reserves. They are subsequently an infantry-based force and are not utilized in direct action operations. They are usually scouts, occupational forces, or militia minutemen for areas that are beyond the scope of the military.

They are the first into the city, and last to leave.

This is purely concept and I am planning on making a uniform variant with blouse, more equipment (rucksacks) and headwear (Field caps).
