Horse Walk animation

Had a go at animating a horse walking. Quite happy with how it turned out :)

Created some artwork in photoshop for a change :) It's been a while since I tried! I find mountain ranges are quick to do as I just wanted to try a colour and light piece!
Here was my first pass, wanted to add something in the foreground but was not set on anything at the time.



Here is the final piece, I decided to make it feel higher up so i changed the clouds and thought some mountain climbers would give it some more scale :)

Finished with this animation now, I could probably do another pass or change the run off, but I need to draw a line somewhere and move on to new animations :)

Excited Girl Anim - Splining

Trying out this body mechanic rig set I bought from Joe Daniels.

Really simplistic, neat and flexible rigs for body mechanics!

Continued progress on my animation :) I've actually finished it now, which you can see on my Vimeo account. But I will post the final stuff on here soon. I am planning on creating a progression reel for it :)
