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? :D

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! :shock: The dogs name is Scratchit.

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 :D

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.
