So, yeah, tryn'ta animate again. It's a four-legged creature, running. Baccaman mentioned I could just make the other two legs lag behind, I'll probably use that.

Pretty satisfied, except for the head, so I guess I want crits on the head's movement. The legs I'm good with, but just point out the glaring issues with it.

Used a nature book for reference, it had a stop-motion reel of a cheetah running.

Oh yeah, not my design. Doing this for someone's project.

EDIT:
Oh, yeah, looking for ways to improve this animation:

Again, it's for another project, the style isn't my say.

Hmm, I dunno, I liked the browns more than the purples.

Maybe the far backgrounds could be purple.

I don't know what you call 'em, but I finally tried one.

After a few hours(yey, frustration) of fiddling in Anim8or and UV Mapper, here it is.
I wanted to start simple. Made a lot of mistakes; I edited that model and that texture about 6 times and still somehow didn't get it quite right.

Next time, I'll try shading the sides too.

Pretty fun learning experience.

One question; Is it advisable to do this with, say, low-poly spheres?

I love this, mozzy. I love you. Hold Me.
I still think the arm holding the gun is pretty stiff. But since this is already better than what I can do, and since it's easier that way, kudos.
