Description GUYS. "LIONHEART" IS AN EXTREMELY GENERIC NAME. I AM NOT SURPRISED THAT THERE IS A CHARACTER WITH THAT NAME. IF YOU WERE TO HAVE ASKED ME, I'D HAVE GUESSED THERE WERE DOZENS OF CHARACTERS IN VARIOUS MEDIA WITH THAT NAME. @_@

She doesn't even look anything like him...

My first time animating a run cycle. Just sketching up the basic movement was easy enough but refining it and cleaning it up took forever. I made this for the purpose of eventually including it in that TV-size anime intro I'm working on. Expect the animatic soon!

I'm gonna be doing lots more of these once I get the hang of 'em, so if you like animation, expect to see tons more from me. I even plan on doing commissions very soon. You read that right. Hand-drawn animated commissions. Want your OC animated? Stick around.

I've also done Speck and Warchest!


ALSO. Here are all three main character in a shot from the opening animatic!

Why is that what everyone thinks of? @_@ It's a very generic name!

(Haha, thanks for reading the comments beforehand, in any case. )

I have to ask, is LionHeart supposed to be the one based off of Warrior Cats?

Isn't Lionheart a character from Warrior Cats? Cause I think that name is copy righted :1

Clawed-Nyasu In reply to Oback-Barama [2012-05-24 20:59:18 +0000 UTC]

Apparently? I hadn't heard of it before making the character. In any case, there are tons of characters in the world with the same names as each other, and it's not like I'll ever attempt to trademark my pony OC.

Oback-Barama In reply to Clawed-Nyasu [2012-05-25 02:42:52 +0000 UTC]

I suppose, Its weird that your OC seems cat themed and there's this [link]

Clawed-Nyasu In reply to Oback-Barama [2012-05-25 03:17:18 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I looked up the character after someone told me about him. I just came up with the name on a whim (she works with dangerous animals like big cats), and then gave her a paw cutie mark to match the name.

Clawed-Nyasu In reply to Couratiel [2012-05-17 16:49:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, I'm fine with you using it as a frame-by-frame reference, but would prefer if you didn't, say, directly trace it (namely because this is done in my style, which has several key differences from mlp show-style.)

Couratiel In reply to Clawed-Nyasu [2012-05-17 17:11:52 +0000 UTC]

Okay. If I do ever find the time to make it, I'll run it by you.

Unfortunately, I won't be taking point commissions. I need real money since I'll be graduating this week and living on my own.

Heh, someone else mentioned something like that. I'd never heard of it, I just came up with the name on the fly when my friend randomly recruited me for his roleplay. x3

I haven't made one, no. But I used this runcycle as a reference so maybe you could use it as a base? [link]

Whooooa this is so good! I wish I could make cycles this smooth :c Did you do it in flash or frames?

Clawed-Nyasu In reply to CajesTheTabby [2012-04-25 20:52:55 +0000 UTC]

I drew all of the frames by hand, which is why it took so long to refine it.

Clawed-Nyasu In reply to CajesTheTabby [2012-04-25 21:17:55 +0000 UTC]

Having a good reference was really useful. I went through a couple base mlp run cycles that were posted here on DA, frame by frame, which greatly improved my sketches.

The tail looks very stiff. A little more motion in it would make it look more flowy. But other wise it looks fantastic. Great job. :3
