Here's the final for the first half of my animation design course, the half centered around hands-on and traditional animation. This here's done with tracing paper, a pencil, and an animation peg bar. It consists of 113 different drawings strung together over 218 frames played at 15 fps [frames per second], approximately 16 seconds. Completed over a four day period.

Fun fact: while working on it one night [late at night] I mistook the drawing labeled '67' to be '62'; while drawing number 66 a second time it dawned on me "say, haven't I already drawn 66? I know I have, then what the--??" Shortly thereafter I concluded I was too damn tired to work any further and crashed for the night. Just thought it was funny.

Anyway, do tell me what you guys think, I put a lot of effort into this piece, even if it does jerk its shoulder strangely when it gets up to walk the first time.

A BIG thank you to :iconlucky757: and Denise for helping me scan it

i find it quite obvious that you put a large amount of effort and determination to complete this and i believe it has payed off. the outlines dont jump around alot from previous frames. after seeing this i would vouch for you as an animator. i will be keeping an eye out for more of your excellent work, keep it up =).
thats all i have to say about this for now but i need about twenty more "words". i think its silly to put a limit on critiques. again good job keep it up i like you work true animator

The whole flow of this animation in itself is STUNNING. Let alone the original idea of the rose fox. I havn't seen an animation this good in a very long time. Over 218 frames, imagine drawing an image 218 times over, I cant imagine how much hard work was put into this over the four day period, Id personally go mad. I'm awestruck!

This definitely deserves all the favs it receives, and if this animation were to be completely finished, coloring and all. i believe it should be a DD!


Very good job with this!! I hope to see more! :heart:
