Hey CanisAlbus, I was wondering how you added the background texture with GIMP. It looks like Machete is super-imposed on the GIMP background, but whenever I try to do that the white background of my animation gets in the way of the GIMP background I'm trying to add. Is there some way to make the background transparent? thnx

I've always understood how you do the frames, but how do you piece them together and get them to actually move?

Whoa I really like how you've done this, and I don't think he looks like he's barking, just looks like he's doing the typical crazy sighthound running face ;'D and I also can't believe it's only 6 frames! You've done a really good job :3
How did you put the frames together in gimp, did you do it with layers?

Jes, teit animaation! Hauskat nuo pienet tassut. Tulee mieleen sellaiset luonnokset mitä professionaalit tekee luonnostellessan liikkuvia eläimiä!
Mutta hui: todella nopea juoksu tapahtuu oppaan mukaan vain neljällä framella (uskomatonta mutta totta!) Siihen saa kyllä piirtää jo vauhtiviivoja apuun että liike näyttäisi joltain...
Haha, muistan oman syklini jonka tein Baltoa reffaten VHS:stä joskus 2006. x'D
Jaa...pitäisiköhän itsekin uskaltaa laittaa jotain kouluharjoituksia tänne... Jos saan aikaiseksi niin toivon sen inspiroivan vielä lisää ja liikkeen vievän mennessään, sillä tässä on jo aika hyvää meininkiä! C:

I'm sorry, but as an animation nerd, I can say this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. ^^ Actual hard angles that add up to the character, instead of wonking out all over the place. A powerful high jump that the character uses to gain energy. The contacts and breakdowns could use work, but that's academic, it doesn't detract at all from the character.
There's a saying that animation is slower to repay you the longer you work on it... by extension, it rewards a first timer very well. It's magical, seeing your characters move. If you do more, please grow from here, for your own sake as an artist. 0u0
and when I say I'm an animation nerd, I mean that for a small sum, I can teach you to recognize the different animators in Looney Tunes shorts on sight. If you ever feel like learning new things...

Not bad! Especially for a first try at a canine running cycle! Color me impressed!
If you're open to a bit of criticism, I do have a bit of advice as to the movement for your next shot (:
1) It's a bit jerky. There's not much ease in the movement. I'd suggest you slow down the movements a bit (with more frames, whether doubles or extra drawn frames), when the back legs are on the ground. That's when the canine would have most resistance of weight, as that's where the power comes from.
2) I think the slope of the back could use a bit more ease in the movement of it's flexing. The problem might actually be with the movement of the head. Something there seems a bit jumpy.
3) One more note: I notice that at two points in this run cycle, all four feet are off the ground. Salukis are the breed of dog that do that! Just an interesting note (: It's not technically wrong in a canine run cycle, especially with this kind of build (it looks right to me here), but it's something to consider between different run cycles (:
Again, I'm incredibly impressed and I'd love to see another attempt! I especially love the movement of the til!

Woahwoahwoah, this is awesome! You're fantastic at animation
I've always wanted to try animation myself, but I've never got around to doing it. This has motivated me to try it, once I find some spare time, that is.

Ach, it's the depression again. I've been feeling rather down as well, but hopefully spring will bring back the motivation.
D'aww get better, okay? dA's not the same without you~

Thanks!
I think it depends on the person. For me creating this with pencil was easier because I'm mainly a traditional artist~
