So I attempted to clean up the rough sketch and added more details to the face and body.

I also tried to fix that back leg from popping back to the front. Its a little more smooth now. Still not finished with it, just wanted to post my progress.

The ONLY problem i can see is that the front leg at one point near the top, the fur flashes out, but yea other than that,.. AMAZING O.O

I absolutely love this!
I've been trying to draw cheetahs lately, and I wanted to draw one walking but I couldn't figure out the body structure.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The quality of drawing is really sweet and the animation isn't too bad either, but a little bit more up and down movement in the back and the front would help the overall feel of it as well as some slow ins and outs.

charfade In reply to Jhumperdink [2009-02-25 16:05:27 +0000 UTC]

hand drawn animation ^_^ I sketched in Adobe Photoshop and composted in Flash. So I only used flash to get the animation, I didn't draw it in it.

Jhumperdink In reply to charfade [2009-02-25 19:59:50 +0000 UTC]

wow, its amazing how similar you can make each frame to the last, I have a hell of a time matching two drawings to one another!

Yami-no-Malik-san [2009-02-23 04:31:12 +0000 UTC]

For some reason the passing pose looks strange to me, perhaps the feet need to be lifted a little higher, it's hard to say without looking at the seperate frames themselves v__v. Head and tail could use some work, but other than that it looks great and fluid!

Whoa! Walking cycles can be hard to do well, and this one looks great! How many frames does the loop have?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

charfade In reply to Stamps [2009-02-11 16:00:35 +0000 UTC]

16 frames and 12fps . normally I work in 30 fps, but it just started to look so awkward. XD

ooo! I like it alot!

I kinda wish the head bounced more... but that could be a character trait?



how's it going, btw?!

Moolallingtons [2009-02-09 20:08:37 +0000 UTC]

Really really great! *watches cheetah walking for ten minutes straight* Nice movement and weight, I'm impressed

I agree with Capricornfox that the tail needs to flow more, but other than that I think it's pretty perfect

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

charfade In reply to Moolallingtons [2009-02-09 20:21:51 +0000 UTC]

yeah, I agree. I intend on adding it more swoosh to the tail movement. I was really focusing on the legs this time around. Now I'll be working on secondary actions like the tail and the head.

charfade In reply to Moolallingtons [2009-02-09 20:50:45 +0000 UTC]

XD for me its always nothing but trial and error. I was hoping in this one the swoosh was more apparent.. but it turned out to still.. *sigh* and no worries, I enjoy the constructive criticism. ^_^
