Description
This is Komo the Wingless Dragon, Rad's trusted sidekick besides his motorcycle and himself.I figured I need to study how Komodo dragons naturally walk if he is to make an appearance in my future projects. Because folks, animating a reptile walking is no easy matter. No. Easy. Matter.
Komo is my character, however Komodo Dragons belong to the nature of my beloved country Indonesia.
Animation loop by me, *RadenWA .

yes, the number of frames required to loop the background does not match the number of frames for the lizard's loop, I wish I could fix it haha

He's looking sexy alright~
Really love the animation! It's nice and smooth!
You're Indonesian? I thought you're a Jawa/Javanese because of your username. Or is Java actually part of Indonesia? =___=; My God! No wonder I always fail Geography!

It's surprising that you know that my name is Javanese without knowing which country Java is at. What country did you thought Java is part of?

Back at high school, my class rep's name is Raden and one of his grandparents originated from Java hence the name. And now that I've Googled and Wiki'd about Indonesia, now I know how BIG Indonesia really is! *w* I always thought Java is a big island across the sea just across Indonesia. Well it is across the sea but now I realize the 'Indonesia' I always refer to is actually Kalimantan.
My goodness, I'm a really bad neighbour..... *lives in Sarawak* But I'm glad I learned something today~ =w=

Haha, it's all good. It's so fun to learn more about the world bit by bit. Though, since geography was one of my major subject back in high school, I'm just forced to know too much now...

Ah, I saw it now! Yeah, it's really hard when I have that amount of lines and I need to keep it constant through the animation, especially since I added it after the coloring which means Onion Skin would not help. I will take better care next time, thanks for noticing
And to be honest, lizards are much easier to be animated from the top, since animating their body swaying with all the perspective applied is much harder.

No problem! I think I only noticed it because you asked for critique, so I was actively searching for stuff that could use improvement. I probably wouldn't have caught it otherwise. lol And yeah, snake-like movement is easy to animate, but you did it in an interesting way, so kudos.

Shadows are evil, though if it moves too strangely then I think something's wrong with your flash player that messes up the sync.

Nice walk, i found two feet hard enough but i was use 3d software.

3D softwares are trickier with all those riggings, but once you get hold of it you can make things much easier than 2D stuffs.

I somehow so what to hug it, I love reptilians like them XD
Amazing animation too, he's moves so lively and realistic (It could work as him climbing up a wall too)

Thaaaaanks!

He likes to move his booty ovo
XD okey, bad pun, sorry, I shut it now XDDD
* 3 * but I came to love how clean and natural did you make the reptilian moves.

Yeah, I need to sync the looping of the BG with the looping of the dragon. If I let the BG to last for another loop of the dragon, it would then move too slowly. So tough decision.
