Description
*Epic background travel music*THODRAGONFIRE gave this its title, because I met my loss for it at "dino run?" XD
The base for this was the same underdrawing as the Sauropelta animaitions I uploaded over last year, before I graduated...Only difference being, this one is more complete then the sauropelta ever was. I'm taking what free time I can find to work on my own stuff, and that includes improving and completing a bunch of my old animations. Its going to take a while, but it will be good practice.
Anyways. A chunky Scelidosaurus scooting along at super speed, judging by the way those mountains are moving
Ā I am so pleased with this, he is showing WAY more weight and pull in his legs then the sauropelta ever did. Which I just don't understand, considering they're the exact same under drawings.

Gorgeous run cycle, I love the weighty action.

y only question is, why did you give it a dew-claw on the front leg???

That can be attributed to a mix of lack of time and bad research to begin with, and laziness later
The underdrawing for this animation was a sauropelta in an animation I did for school. Unfortunately, the school I attended was...for lack of a better word, shitty. This was my thesis project to graduate, but I had little to no time to do research, if I wanted to pass the class and graduate, so I grabbed the first few pictures I could and jumped right in. My lack of appropriate research led to me mistaking a toe for a dew claw (it was a skeletal diagram, hence the mistake). I didn't have time to change the entire animation later; barely finished the whole mess in time, and honestly, it still needs a LOT of help.
When I recycled the rough later to make this, I had completely forgotten my mistake and proceeded to add a dew claw. That's where I was too lazy to fix it at the time

Wow! This is incredible! It's super hard to animate a dinosaur running since we uh... dont really have any reference of the real life thing. xD You did a beautiful job with this and it looks smooth and realistic with his weight. :3 Do moar dinosaur stuff 8D

Thanks, Ani! ^^ Y'know what, true, THAT. When i did the roughs for this, back when i was working on my thesis animation? I used ostriches for the theropod, of course, but for the sauropelta (the one that shares its roughs with this guy) I pulled up charging rhinos, and the Muybridge buffalo. It really helped (even if the buffalo didn't have this much weight to it) It helped a lot to get the basic idea down, since Rhinos are living tanks themselves. Got me started at least XDĀ
And don't worry, i'm in such a deep dino rut right now, I may not climb out until August
