I'm rather fond of Kal's hopping run. Though this gryphonic beastie is the size of a horse, it doesn't necessarily weigh as much (having hollow birdy bones). Plus, I figured a bird-like creature would have a unique run cycle akin to that hopping walk most raptors and smaller birds exhibit.

SWEEEEET. I agree too, grphon-thingies would probably walk differently than just a normal cat...

You're so good at animating, how old were you when you started?

I took my first animation class back when I was 16. Before then, I'd only made the occassional flipbook (they weren't very good, or long).

Wow, and to think I animated when I was like 11. ): I still suck at it though- do you have any tips?

It's a wingless gryphon! Like a palatypus :D

This is awesome. It looks so natural and stuff. And, haha, I can actually see them doing that...

Don't ask questions if you don't want to know the answers.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAH!!!

As I said, this is pure awesomeness. Awesome like lollipos and squids on sticks and snakes on a plane. Awesome like summer and yellow popsicles
A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Let me hear you all! Awesome!

I absolutly adore how the feathers on her ruffles like that and how the head stays in one place the whole time. Like a chicken!
And how the claws spread before hitting the ground. Even the way you made her bounce like that. That made me snortlol!

Thank you so much, this is worth much more than I actually paid :heart:

Boing... Boing... Boing... Boing... Boing...

It's really quite hypnotic. :lol:

If you don't mind a critique, though: That dithering in the background is mildly distracting. Most GIF programs don't give you much control over that, unfortunately. It's actually possible to do the color reduction and some pattern dithering manually; it can be a rather tricky process and quite time-consuming (especially the way I do it!), but can yield some pretty good results. Would you mind if I experiment a bit with this?
