Description
I've had some requests to draw more Keepers "in action", so that they could better see the anatomy! :3 But I was tired of just drawing static keepers so, this. xD>Not that their gait is much different from real life mammals, but idk I just felt like animating something
>They're capable of hopping and waddling around on two legs, & they often sit back on their haunches giving them an upright appearance, but this is how they mainly get from place to place.
>If they have young in their pouch, they will often "walk" around on their haunches. Think penguin or kangaroo.Ā
Animation & keepers were both created by me! Keepers are a closed species.

They'll sometimes steal bags from humans in order to tote around more items! >

Hahaha, this is great Lukia! Good start to a fun little run.
The only thing that is really bothering me is that random circle that appears randomly on one of the frames around the eye. Lol. Very distracting, but easy to fix at least.
I really need to finish tweaking my run cycle as well, haha!

Have you considered making it a YCH thing??? It will look gorgeous!!!!Ā
Oh, and the thing that: "If they have young in their pouch, they will often "walk" around on their haunches". I wonder if you have considered some mommy + baby keepers. Ā

YES I HAVE!! I was thinking about it as I posted this LOL! Only problem is, I have this weird block against animating long twisty hair?? I'm fine with & absolutely love drawing it (as you may've noticed OTL) and I tend to go overboard with it on Keepers, but I have real trouble animating it x'''DĀ
YES YES YES I have considered that as well!!! I still have to find a good style for baby keepers (Joeys) to keep them from looking too much like Minikeepers, but still similar to their parents' build and appearance and whatnot o3o

Oh! Yeah, I can imagine it's not as easy as it might look. But you got them so amazing, it also looks easier than one might think. Keep it up, love. I simply adore this.Ā
OH, GOD!!! Yes!!! I can imagine the problem you see. Different buildings in characters are something I have a LOT of trouble with. But you have managed to get the trick to it. I'm sure you'll come with a great solution for baby keepers. And I can't wait to see them!!! XD
