This some of the work I've been creating for an organisation called The Red Panda Trust since November last year. I was asked to produce a short animation as a test by the company, so I chose a run cycle to show my ability.
The first video was the original run cycle I created. I wasn't sure if they wanted a different design for the animation, so I created my own design to see if it worked. I knew from the beginning that I wanted the animation to look quite clean, so I decided to use Illustrator to copy over the original drawing. It was also a lot quicker to draw the posing for each frame using Illustrator.
Unfortunately, it wasn't what they were looking for. They liked the red panda's design, but they felt it targeted a too specific demographic. They wanted the design to replicate their current logo. After some heavy modifications to the frames, I also added a bit more motion to the torso as well to avoid it looking too static.
This video is a current walk cycle I'm working on. I'm close to finishing, but I still just need to fine tune the smoothness of the legs.
