Cat walk cycle

[YLinK19]

smooth :D 

[SageLuka]

So cute! Excellent, smooth animation, good job! The hindquarters' movement is pretty much perfect but the front (especially the shoulders) looks a bit stiff. It would look more cat-like if the weight was more on the front legs (the butt could be significantly higher than the shoulders) and if the head was set lower, but for a happy-bouncy cartoon cat this cycle is very suitable. ^^

This is lovely. You got the timing and fluidity of motion down perfect. I'm using this as reference for my animation homework, haha.

[Davrainbow]

Woah pencil animations.... I've never dreamed one as good as this... O.o

[plainlysimplestudios]

[Mossfur24]

thats so smooth! good job

[lexhen96]

How many frames did you use?

[JumpykangLC]

@lexhen96 Probably anywhere from 12 (the lowest possible frame count for smooth animation) to 24.

very cute! ^.^

[biscuardo]

such a smooth and complete movement, right down to the foot contact on the floor

[Shainkov]

thnx for this

[briTtneeeee]

this is awesome.! great job!

[merlefan]

Yes it is cool, sadly the movement is wrong..., it's left back and front right leg then back right and front left leg... What you have the cat doing is called bear-walking

[ericapitt]

The way this assignment is set up, all the characters are supposed to walk like this. I remember doing an Otter walk cycle for this assignment, and all I could think was "Otter's don't walk, they hop and run and slide." But oh well.

I like the stylized look of the cat. Nice!

[Goig3D]

As a matter of fact the leg motion sequence is correct, cats are some of the few animals that walk like that; for example, camels are another species hat move the legs from one side and then the two legs from the other.

[arachnidkid13]

it doesn't matter man i mean hey karsica did good! if i tried to do this i would fall over in my chair bump my head on the floor and start crying

[Charliearlie]

[arachnidkid13]

[amin1984]

10/10 awsome good job

[ricardobs]

wow...that was awesome

[TSRule]

Wow! That's awesome!

[karsica]

I use the paper provided by my school. I think they order it from www.chromacolour.com.  Its a medium weight animation paper, but the heavier the better. You want it to be able to take a beating from all the erasing, rolling and flipping abuse you'll do to it.

[ARDecastilla]

what type of paper do you animate with?

[rushwolf]

Nice sense of weight

[ZShadow]

cool ^^

[victorens]

Very nice locomotion
