Description A simple, straight up walk cycle of a horse. Yeah, it's not perfect, but at some point you have to stick a fork in it and call it done.

My first traditional animation that I've done in a long, long time. Reminded me very much why I don't work in traditional anymore as my hand swelled up tot he size of a grapefruit while working on this. But I do miss working traditionally. It's good to get back to the basics.

Done in Flash 4 - but using all traditional techniques. Nothing fancy here.

The Back legs aren't going far enough toward the front legs like they should, but the rest is awesome

Nice, it actually looks like a real horse would walk ;3; trust me, i've seen too many that move their legs like chop sticks or something if you can imagine that

FiretrUCK! your hand is still that bad off after all this time off of non traditional animation?! $#!t I hoped while you may not ever work as a traditional animator that one: didn't need too. and two could if you had wanted to if you just dusted the cobwebs off the old skills.

Yeah - it's kind of a sucky situation. but at least I'm still good enough to keep plowing forward on Ebin & May.
