Nice work! I think it should be your animated avatar, although I like your current one.

Very cute! Good work on all of the secondary motion. And the collar has a nice sense of weight. Is this where the flea lives?

Very nice! yeah, the collar seems flea's house, what's the dog name?

J.Baker - I might try making it my avatar. Time for a change

Iwaxana and Uolter - Yes you are correct the flea's house is on the collar. He can't have a very comfortable ride in there!

The dogs name is Scratchit.

I'm going to have to insert a shot of the Flea falling about inside the house aren't I?

I really like the timing of your run. Some time ago I had to animate several animals running, I never liked the result. this cycle would be very inspiring.

Thanks Selgin, Genete and GCharb. Your comments always mean a lot

Selgin - as is almost always the case the basic dog running cycle was based on the one in Preston Blair's animation book that I've had since I was about 14. I just adapt it and change the timing to suit.

Also useful are these DVD's. http://www.rhinohouse.com/
A friend at work gave me the Animal Motion Show one as a present and it's very comprehensive.
