Enchanted Lands - Attempt at enchanted animation.

This is junky, after fooling around with gimp for several hours i finally got the animation part working fine. Then I noticed that part of it is cut off. Of course the animation sucks. I tried to do as limited as possible and then inbetween it. it started out with 4 frames then the 4 inbetweens. But some of the poses are so similar it doesn’t really look like he’s walking. I think i’ll attempt to just do it straight ahead this time. We will see.

But here’s a sample of what I did.

Edit October 9th, 2007:
I did another version, I was sure would work right, but guess what, it looks like he’s skipping - WHEEEEeeee!!!
Note: I used the space beside the old one for comparison, and also so I wouldn’t waste paper.

Edit October 10th, 2007:
Well technically it’s still the 9th, I just figured it was so close to midnight that I would go ahead and say it’s the 10th Makes it look like I did this at another date ;-) Here’s the third attempt on the far right, this one has almost made it but I went too far, so then it doesn’t look like it connects to the first frame for a smooth loop. But it’s a start. I may go ahead and do the 4th by hand.

Edit October 10th 2007 — For real:
The fourth one I tried to be adventurous and try starting out on a different frame, now he REALLY looks like he’s skipping. Whoops I biffed it again. I guess I’ll try to copy it out of a book or something.

    I suppose it is hard to tell the difference between the left and right sides of the body, and it doesn’t seem like the back leg moves to the front. Perhaps you need more frames of animation? Or more tweening?

    But I wouldn’t say “of course” that it sucks. You can do it well, and I’m sure of it.

    Of course you wouldn’t say “of course”, that would just be rude ;-)

    But you were always ever the optimist!
