Description I had bought Aaron Blaise's 4 legged walk cycle video like a month back and I've been spending so time learning from it. He's actually going to be putting out a new quadruped walk soon and I can't wait to get them. This is definitely not a super accurate version of a dog's walk, as the video I studied was based off a mountain lion like cat, so I still got some learning to do. This animation is 25 frames per second. The video was animated on 2's but I put mine on 1's just for the…

Taking Reference from slow-motion videos of bats and insects, posted on YouTube, I started to examine the movements of the wings, because there aren't many animals, you could compare having similar movements, to the mythical dragon creature. So to start off I looked into how the wings themselves flap when the bat brings them back and fourth. I found that the wings were like a robust cloth flapping in the wind. For other ideas I looked into the dragon fly which was not quite the same as you…

Description Never got around to converting this to a gif soooo here you go! I know the face is kinda derp and anatomically this probably wouldn't work xD but that's the beauty of animation the full cycle is 32 drawings i think....? The goal was to have 3 set of legs that were moving at different times, all legs have to touch the ground, they all have to be attach to one body and they couldn't move 3 and 3 (the entire right side then the entire left side)
