Cyris Trot Cycle.wmv

It always feel so wonderful when you can see one of your characters "come to life." It's not perfect, but I'm very pleased with it. Her rib-cage doesn't move all that much when she trots since she never has both of her forelegs off the ground at once. Therefore if you wanted to i guess you could strap a table to her back... but a glass of water on it... and it wouldn't fall over.

Her run... however... is a very different story. Due to the stiffness of her tail it's a very awkward gait for her so she prefers this quick trot. Her tail-mace isn't as heavy as it looks though. The plates are actually quiet thin, and despite making a good weapon if she were to smack say... a rock wall... she'd probably break off a few plates.

The animation itself is a bit jerky in a few places but that's because this is only 6 frames. It doesn't have any inbetween frames.

This was all done in Adobe Flash CS4. Unfortunately I don't know if I'm gonna finish this or not... Flash keeps lagging horribly and restarting it doesn't seem to fit it.
