Great Dane walk cycle - finished

Any comments or critiques are welcome. Thanks :)

Quadruped Walk

Hey! Been working on the Quadruped walk cycle using the Great Dane rig, and its sweet!! :) Here are a few planning sketches, helped me a ton while I was on Maya. Greatly reduces the time you spend on blocking the poses out. Used some 2D animations, images, and real life footage.

Any feedback would be well appreciated.
Thanks :)

First post!

Hey!
Welcome to my blog, I'm Shashank Duggi, a character animation student from India. I'll keep posting my animation and drawings as often as possible. I had already given Tumblr a try, but left out unhappy with a few things , like the inability to embed mov files, and only one youtube link per post. So, here me shifting to blogger.

Good day :)
