Flix Walk Cycle: Animation Warmup

So there is a project I've been meaning to finish for a very very long time. And I decided to do a bit of warming up before jumping on into it. It could very well be a while before anyone sees any of what this hush hush project is - specially if I do go through with redoing some of the storyboards - but I'm determined as ever to finish it once and for all! All I'll say for now, is the animation is not mlp related in any way. This was just what I felt like doing to shake off some of the rust.

As for this particular bit of animation, I re-animated the maine like 4 times cause I kept changing ideas. Granted I was also getting interrupted every 5-30 minutes, so my concentration was mostly broken. But overall it's not horrible on the eyes. I'll admit though I'm not satisfied with the face and a couple other parts of the animation, but I'm leaving it as be for now.

There are a couple things I'd probably change for future animations using this 2d model. I'd probably make the tips of the hair could be animated more to add that subtle follow through of motion. I'd also probably rearrange part of the maine to cover the lower portion of the head - to name a couple of things. And I also need to re-create the eye's mask so that it's more animatable, I know how, I was just to lazy to do it for a warm-up animation.
