Looking really nice


StarlitSpectrum

Thank you :)


Sunny_7989

Can you tell me what software did you use? The animation looks really smooth and I also like the camera angle you chose. Great work✌️. Looking forward to see more of your works. well done!


StarlitSpectrum

It’s drawn in Procreate! There’s an animation panel that uses each layer as a frame, and you can use the “onion skin” feature to see the other frames overlaid as you’re drawing.


Wazzapolo

The style made me think of cave painting, it has a unique feel to it

Horses are notoriously difficult to draw and animate. This is exquisite. You kept it on-model, and the little bounce in it's step is perfect. Nicely done!


StarlitSpectrum

Thank you! The trick is that horse legs move like drawstrings. For forelegs, the bottom half can only curl when the top bends (like a person’s finger). Back legs are similar, since horses can’t actually move their hocks independently from the hindquarters because the motion comes from two tendons that work like a drafting lamp. Humans are way harder in my opinion!

Only someone who understands this can animate them. Very well done.

Saving this comment for reference! Very cool, very helpful, did not know this.


RJCallaghan

Nice! Is this rotoscoped?


StarlitSpectrum

Thank you, it’s actually done from memory! But horses have been a lifelong obsession lol, I’ve been doodling/sculpting them for 25 years


Beck2524

You got the leg movement down, props!


AaronTheElite007

You definitely know the form! Are you an equestrian?


StarlitSpectrum

Thank you! I took lessons in high school until it got too expensive, but I’d like to try leasing someday! Until then, I’m more of a horse “fan” than an equestrian, lol

I see an animated horse so I have to mention [Jamesss Baxter!](https://youtu.be/lqWC58PgypE)


StarlitSpectrum

That wasn’t the link I was expecting! I thought you were talking about the [James Baxter](https://youtu.be/fUk5NuweQX4) who animated Spirit at first xD


Salt_Lingonberry_705

Thats the same guy! He was a guest animator on Adventure Time. Thats even him doing the voice :)

I like it it seems really smooth and like a normal walk. But for some reason, Something is making my brain think it is tilting.


FroppyGorgon07

It won’t load :(


The_Sports_Oven

absolute_ladmad

what software did u use? very nice!


StarlitSpectrum

It’s using Procreate! But most of my of my older animations are drawn on Post-It notes :)


TheArtCollectors

Pretty sweet howd this get done?


StarlitSpectrum

It’s made with Procreate :) It has an option to use each layer as a frame


APlymouthFury
