Dog Walk Cycle First Pass + Ref Vid

I can't remember the last time I animated a quadruped, which obviously means it's been WAY too long. So here's a first pass of my dog Oreo, a Border Collie/Corgi mix, & the reference video I shot a while ago. I mostly refered to the first few seconds, looking at them frame by frame to judge the shapes.

This was also done in Flash and I am waaay rusty X_x

Any crits here or via Facebook is much appreciated :D I'd like to get this up to demo reel level, so please pick it apart. At this point I've mostly focused on getting the legs, hips, & shoulders working. I haven't messed with the tail, head, or ears too much yet.

I've been getting back into inks and colored pencils lately, mostly for fun, but also a bit for some gift art I've finished recently. I used to work this way all the time back in high school, but once I was in college, I stopped using color (outside of Color & Design class) as all my work was required to be in grayscale. So now I'm finally getting back into it, bit by bit.

I'd love to keep working this way, I just need to get new inking pens! Mine are starting to dry up unfortunately, but I did get some good recommendations from several art buddies, so hopefully I'll be getting something new soon.

CTNX is right around the corner! I am SO excited! I miss seeing my art buddies from the LA area, and I can't wait for all the amazing panels and demos going on. Also, I'm really looking forward to picking people's brains and getting some critiques on my sketchbook.

Now then, onto some finished art!

(PS- Tinkerbell & Chun-Li are not my characters, but the artwork is mine. Just FYI :D)
