Description
something random in between...well some know that I started working on a bigger animation for C.A.B. last year, badly work and other stuff kept me away from finishing things. This is one of the rougher training pieces I did for that 'project' thought I share it for fun.
The feeling that there is one frame running faster is because of the gif.-loop...
I really need to draw C.A.B. more, forgot how much fun that actually is
PS.: some might remember the base image I used for this animation as well
will be moved to scraps later...

Cool!
Did you use After Effects on this one too?
I know usually you exported them to flash for more fluid animation.

Hmm...it's good, but needs mover movement. Watch someone run; the head and back will move quite a bit. There also needs to be some more of what my animation tutors call 'the squash'. When he hits the floor with one foot, there needs to be a much greater compression. All that weight has to go somewhere, and it ain't gonna be through the floor.
Therefore the weight should really hit home on the knee and lower leg. The feet need to spend much more time on the ground, even if he's running fast. It's a common problem you see with animation (just check youtube ; it looks like all the giant robots there are gliding 
Keep it up though, cos its still lookin' very smooth. Just make it smooth AND weighty
Oh, and if all the above seems a little pedantic, sorry. I AM on an animation course. It's stuff I have to know XD

np, I am thankful for every hint, tip, etc.
I am actually just happy that I got the movement look at least a bit decent 
Thanks!

In that case you certainly achieved running before walking
Keep it up!

I think you need to add weight to the legs, have him take longer to get out of a step and quicker to go into a step...that way you will give the illusion he is heavy also it feels there is very little ease in and out... try using Ease in and out to give a bit more organic movement. But otherwise it looks awesome! i love the character

There are a few more things that need work on that animation
I actually tried to give the feet a longer 'time' on the ground but always ended up looking like as if the ground was 'sticky' or something 
Thanks!

Nice run cycle :3 I like all the fine details you put into it, like the bob of his helm, and the movement of his feet.
