Description
Done in Photoshop and Flash. I like the quality in Photoshop, but the animation(speed)in Flash, you can see both examples on my Tumblr: epicaistar.tumblr.com/post/124…I hate how hard or impossible it is exporting animated GIFs from Flash without losing its quality. :/
Hope you like it! Wanted to do it since a while and it feels good to bring one of my favourite characters to life.
Merlock belongs to Disney

It is not so hard, I used a dog runcycle(from the Preston Blair book)as reference and tweaked it(I also added one more pose to make the animation more fluid).

That's friggin' awesome! 8D I have that book, methinks (the basics of animation??) - I just haven't taken the time to actually learn to animate properly. I would love to someday.. when I get the patience?

Excellent work. I have seen worse from professionals who work for major animation studios.

Yes. Because that way I get the quality I want. But animating becomes harder, I'm almost blind since I can't flip between the frames like I can do in Flash or Toonboom. The images are then put in Flash to see if the animation works. Flash becomes a pencil tester.
I would love using Flash or Toonboom, but it is hard or impossible to export good quality GIFs.

Ah. So is it separate photoshop files or is it saved on one with many layers?

One file and many layers(each pose is put in separate folders).
