Description
The run animation to complement my Oldschool Sonic Sprite Take II ([link] ). The ground is there for reference. The original is a sequence of PNGs, so the outline is much smoother, but I think it turned out pretty fantastic as a gif.

One of the nice things about using Anime Studio (and this applies to probably most vector-based 2D animation studios -- and certainly every 3D one I've used) is the ability to have every little detail or secondary motion on its own cycle, so I can have each spike and ear and nose shaking and bouncing with the run and yet not have them synced up in some sort of obvious wave. I suppose if I were more clever while making it, I would have timed each ear to correspond to the impact of the relevant foot, but this works fine as-is.

Original run animation: four frames. This run animation: 16 frames. Modern technology is a wonderful thing.
