Description
All right XD It really bothered ma that I couldn't do the Wolf-Link animation the first time, so I started with something more easy
Makes sense considering I have no knowledge about animation, except for that first try
So I tried to animate a running Wolf-Link here. And this time with color and a bit of shading 
Please don't pay too much attention to the background It's not that good -.-I think of adding Midna here maybe
(like from the part of the game where Link has to take the injured Midna to the castle).So yeah, that's it XD I used running wolf refs to get the movement right.
Hope you like it!

It's still very good. We're always our own worst critics.

The running motion is lovely, but is somewhat undermined by the background scroll not matching up to that movement. It's moving at a constant speed, but it should be variable, moving fastest when he shoves off with his back paws and almost still when he has all four feet beneath him. Maybe it would help to think of it as a single leap? No idea how difficult it is too match them up (I'm no animator), but if it's a simple thing I think it'd vastly improve it.

You're right, the background doesn't really fit
At first I wanted no one at all...
I'm sure your advise would improve it, thanks!
I guess it would be easy for someone who is skilled with animating

This is actually super cool! Great job! I really want to be able to animate but with a lack of software its... hard. Heh. Nice work, as usual~

thanks
is there freeware to use somewhere? I could use it, too XD Animating in Photoshop is hard

I'll be honest with you- I just use Deviantart Muro and a mouse XD it's buggy, and randomly deletes drawing, the move and resize tools don't work, ect.
But I stuck with it since I really am not in a place to spend money, and now I can create things like,
Yeah. Definitely not an animating program haha

oh wow! O.o
You drew this with an online software and MOUSE?!?!
That's insane
Without my tablet and Photoshop I would be doomed XD

Yep. Comes with all the cramps of holding a mouse for a few hours straight like it sounds heh. It works... enough. Hah, though it finally started to not let me upload pictures so I can't grab colors or look at references :l

Still pretty impressive
Except for the cramps ... that sounds mean -.-

Die Animation hast du super hinbekommen! Sie läuft richtig schön flüssig. der Hintergrund macht einen kleinen Hüpfer, wenn eine neue Loop anfängt, aber da muss man schon echt lange drauf gucken, um das zu sehen

Danke

Das ist auch superschwer. Haste soweit auch echt gut hinbekommen. Man muss tatsächlich lange draufgucken, bis man da was ruckeln sieht.
Animationen sind schon echt nicht einfach

Looks good so far! Background and ground seemed to be going by faster than Link, though, and I think his mane floof needs more volume. He looks more like a dog than a wolf without the floof.

thanks!
Yeah, I notived that, too. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I'll try to fix it later

Nice one.!!
Playback animation faster. It”s gonna look smoother then and fits better to background speed.

Thanks for the advice ^^
I'll try it!

Aww! This looks awesome!
I like the background too. It's nice to see different way of doing it and still making it look cool. I really like those little squares in there.
I remember that part with Midna. Kinda worried me there and put me to fully ignore all the monsters on my way to the castle. XD But, if you don't want to do the worriesome part, you could always put here hanging from wolfy's tail.
Really loving your work of running Wolf-Link.

thank you
the squares were not intended to be there
But I guess it's okay XD
Haha XD that Midna hanging from his tail part would be awesome 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooops!
Would be cool.
I might be fully wrong but besides Midna's own design, I don't think it would be harder to animate. It would go along with Link-Wolf's tail's wave like movement. Like when Link-Wolf's tail's tip is up, so is Midna's hands, arms and head while mid-body is down and legs up. And then opposite way when the tail's tip is downwards.
