Animated St Sebastian

I always like to draw normals into my figure drawings, to help me see the 3rd dimension.  Someone commented that my drawings looked like Saint Sebastian, who was always painted with orthogonal arrows coming out of him.  So I decided to animate those lines going through my figures.
