Beginning to get right back into the swing of things! As I said in my recent status update I haven't been making much progress on these for a long time now, but I didn't intend to quit. Eventually these animations along with the canine ones WILL be released to you, but just not as soon as I had hoped from the start (I honestly thought they'd be ready by now but there's been many setbacks). I still haven't been able to fix that weird problem I have with Blender, where it opens with the canine WIP animations each time instead of the standard cube mesh, but so far it hasn't affected the animations themselves so I'm not going to really worry about it. As long as the animations stay as they should then it's fine!

With that out of the way, this is the crawl animation for the feline! I'm not so sure if the head should really move or not so I left that part alone, but this is the basic idea of how the animation is to look, with room for improvement! I know the paws are a little wonky and go below the ground line, and they'll be fixed later, but I wanted to keep my promise from my recent status and give some sort of sign that I'm alive and haven't given up on these! I didn't have reference to go off of for this so I had to use my imagination and what I know about lions or big cats in general when they crawl/stalk. The animation itself doesn't actually move this fast (I don't think), it's just how it came out after running screenshots of the frames through GIMP to create the .gif.

EDIT 10/16/16: I used the tips given to me in the comments and gave the spine an up/down movement as the feline moves, fixed the paws up a bit (mostly the back paws), and added as slight as possible of a head bob simply because it just felt a little awkward to me that the head didn't move at all. I think there's still work to be done but it's getting there!

The lovely floofs who helped me start this project, you should all know who you are by now .
