Unlike originally planned, tweening just wouldn't work on this (For the fact that, the object isn't actually filled, it's just an outline meaning it would get VERY messy if all the lines were crossing each other due to tweening aswell as it just not looking that great).
I did tweening on my Panda for the flash module in 2nd year and although it looked ok it wasn't great, luckily the panda was filled with a colour so mistakes were hidden, but it isn't the case here.
UPDATE 1 # - A really quick sketchy wobbly version of the walk cycle, the head after the first part goes a little skewiff aswell as the back front leg and the front back leg (lol) SNAPPING into place. The tail is also going to be a bother, that's why i left the bastard out in the test. The head isn't being redrawn each frame which may be why it looks a little wooden, i think i'll just work on it a little more.
UPDATE #2 - A fair few hours later, things are cleaned up the tail is added and it's pretty much done...I'm not a fan of the wibble wobble of the lines but i drew it with a tablet and rather than being smart and turning pressure sensitivity OFF i left it on so it looks all over the place.....*huff*.
As with everything if i had more time it would look better but being ME time constraints are constraining so yeah....This is the best it'll get.
UPDATE #3 - The wobbly jobbly running animation, personally it looks to much like a bears body but looking at the references this is how a Lion's body works. Once again the static head is REALLY starting to piss me off but as with before, i don't have the time to Frame-by-frame the head aswell as finishing the run animation ontop of everything else. Bah
UPDATE #4 - Cleaned up without tail. The more i look at the head the more my blood starts to boil. I tried a quick shape tween to give the idea of "wind/weight" but it really didn't work (below). Once again i hate to say this every god damn post but yeah, if i had given myself more time it would be possible and i'm sure it would work, alas, no. Back onto the run, the reason i didn't turn pressure sensitivity off on my tablet was continuity. I didn't want the run cycle to be smoother than the walk cycle for own stubborn reasons i guess but because it may detatch itself from each other. The walk cycle is wobbly so why not make the run cycle? Keep it all together in one big happy wobbly ball.
UPDATE #5 Yeah, finished. The changing thicknesses is annoying, the head is annoying, the tail was annoying to do and doesn't look right, aswell as changing thickness....*sigh*
