makes me want to attempt a canine run again, try and do some more style and thought put into it

you definitely should :)

Sorry, i should probably comment something about yours since this is your art here, haha.

sorry sorry

I think you've done a really amazing job with this btw. The motion is very fluid and the key frames that you created are excellent at really giving the power in each push. i think that was one of my weak points, how my keyframes are. even in current animations i have. I'm not the best artist so i don't always know why something looks off, i just know it is. i cannot pinpoint why though.

I prefer when comments are not just compliments :^) but thank you
animation is the same as everything else, the more you do the better you get, but its still easy for me to return back to older animations and fix mistakes. This run cycle was done maybe half a year ago or more, i just returned back to it to fix some mistakes

oh i hate returning to older animations. i don't even know where to start with updating them, i'd rather start new and rebuild them in a different way/structure. and the time between me making an animation can be months or sometimes a year. so even by doing nothing i find that i've improved enough mentally and artistically to do a better job on the next one.

If it's been a certain amount of time, just can't look back at them properly.

the only exception i have to this rule is the Zeta 3D model i'm making. that's been in development on and off for a year. lots of loss of motivation, struggles with the people i'm surrounded by wanting me not to work on what i want. because they want something instead. getting upset cause i do my own thing.

I guess it's an acquired taste, if i go over something i've already done i tend to just put it on low opacity and redo everything because usually its easier to redo the whole thing at once instead of trying to improve individual parts of something you did ages ago. I think there can be good lessons in redoing things, especially with animation. i would give it a try :^)

Well i mean i've done many canine run cycles, i just don't redraw over my old one. i just try something new. i mean could give it a go. thinking about it now, i could do a really nice walking, just picturing it now, haha

what a nice run

what a nice comment
