Walk cycle of my #Windsonde gryphon, Tafari



Practicing with Toon Boom Animate Pro, and with cleaning up and coloring animations.

Not perfect; feet slide a little, masses shift, very few things are tied down (if anything ^^;)

I probably shouldn't have chosen a walk cycle to practice finalizing, since they tend to have lots of frames. This one has 28 frames.
Should have done a run cycle X_x

I will probably go back and do the tail properly; it's only a 'tweened' still at the moment because I was darn tired.


No wings because I'd already put all this effort into the shoulders and hips, and a set of wings would have covered it all up.

First deviation of 2013! Happy New Year!
though I believe I started this in the last few days of 2012


Update cleaned up some of the lines around the shoulder, elbow, and haunch.



Toon Boon Animate Pro
28 frames, on ones, played at 24fps

The bouncy feathers give the motion that extra oomph! for believability. Very lovely m'dear! I can see there's a slight "hiccup" or jump in the movement, but it's hardly noticeable, really :') It's still very smooth and I just can't get over how wonderful those bouncy feathers are! Makes him so cute~!

Welcome! I know how frustrating and difficult flash animation can be... but when you stick with it, beautiful pieces like this come about~! : )
