I love it . It's very smooth for a frame-by-frame, and the way you have the paw-dynamics is pretty much how I imagine a rex walking to look. Awesomely done!

And it does make him look walking with almost feathery ease, too, giving him the impression of casually sprinting - quite an awesome thing to behold from an 8 ton predator! All that is missing is a Compy in front of him desperatly trying to dash away.

This turned out beautifully! You picked the right option by sticking to PS, I think.

Hypnotizing.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *squish*

Excellent! Toetally excellent! Great work!

Yes, such a good animation ! it is very well drawned, and it should have taken a while to do, isn't it ?

Wow, you did that with frame-by-frame? This is great! It goes very smoothly. I love how the longer you look at this the more details you see. Like how the toes spread so nicely just as each foot touches the ground. Like Selendro said, utterly hypnotizing! What's fun to do is to use the scroll bar to follow one foot step by step . I could do that for hours! Fantastic work!

Wow, this is really great Diablo! Terrific work!

Thanks very much for the replies!

Blackfangs - it took about six hours in total to animate, but I did it in lots of small stages

And Razor - yes, I kind of did it frame-by-frame, but several of the body parts that don't move much (like the chest and forelegs) I only drew three or four times, then just cycled those sketches for the whole 19 frames.

Very nice and smooth juicy paws indeed.
Rexes sure know how to walk. : )
