Description
Another sneak peek to my next project, apart from the one that I'm doing with Ashman718 . I figure that I'll post my works in progress here, since that's the sort of thing I kind of should be doing. Whoops.The final version of this will have Knuckles as well.

It just seems he's going through a lot of trouble trying to keep up.
Love this anyway though!

Wow, this is so well done! The animation is so smooth, they look so bouncy and lively! Love all of the detail that you put into both of them, especially Tails
Awesome job on this and good luck with your project!

Anyone requested a critique here?
Okay, first of all the drawing are quite nice and appealing, I like how the ears, fur and spikesΒ aren't static thanks to some secondery action and the bouncing add more energy and spiritΒ to the characters which is always nice.
When it comes to what doesn't quite work, well, does Sonic look to you like he runs or skips? He feels almost weightless with how much time he spend in the air.
Maybe if he spent more timeΒ kicking/pushing himself off the ground it would have worked better, to me it seems like heΒ barley touches for one frame, he need more frames that show his effort in the bouncing or maybe less in the air.
I think if you speed up Sonic's animation it might make more sense for him to barely touch the ground but then it wouldn't make sense for him to bounce so much, so you might need to lose the bounce for this approach.
You also could move Sonic's body and heaps more to get looser drawings, you don't have to, but it will help making him seem more three-dimensional.
Tails' run works much better, as long as you don't try to think too much about it, cause I tried running like this just now and I honestly have no idea why would anyone think running like this is a good idea in real life, but this is how he runs the games if I'm not mistaking so at least it's in character, and it's an amusing run.
You can also move Tails' tails more if to get looser motion.
Overall, you can probably just color Tails and upload his animation online and it would be serviceable, but Sonic's run needs some more work.
Good luck, I hope you Knuckles won't give you too much trouble.

Yes, he is skipping, so you are correct in your observations of his cycle. With this approach, I wanted to focus more on the extremes of Sonic's legs being out. However, this being a 30fps animation, I can see where it may appear that Sonic only hits the ground for 1 frame on each leg, since the 6/16 that he is touching the floor (that's touchdown/cycle-length; counting for both legs) is nigh-indistinguishable from a comparative 2/16.
That being said, I'm a bit on the fence if I should alter the timing, since I'd have to alter Tails' cycle as well. This is so Sonic and Tails a) don't run at the same rate (Sonic's cycle is 16 frames, long strides; while Tails is 14 frames, quick steps), and b) don't have too much speed dissonance since it's implied that they're running together.
Tails will definitely need more work on the side of secondary action, since his tails are a bit too "up", and his hands seem to jitter outside of his arms' motions. I'll have to get on that.
Nonetheless, I truly appreciate you going out of your way to type up such an extensive analytical response! It really helps out in the long run. Pun entirely intended.

You know, I think it might just work if you'd make them run upward instead of straight, doesn't it look kinda like they're running upward? I'm not sure.
If the thought of changing the timing even occurred to you, it's already a sign that something may not be right with the timing, if the timing would have been right then the thought wouldn't even crossed your mind.
Also, you don't have to save the animation with the different timing on the same file, you can try both approaches and see what works better,Β it's not like you're throwing the old animation for a new one that might be worse, you could still work on the old one if you see the new timing doesn't work either. I often gave several versions of my animations in class and they'd pick which version they prefer, and then everyone's happy.

That's not out of my way, I write long comments that explains what works and what could be improved all the time, I love writing!.
