Prattle's Character Design and Walking Cycle - Tales From Tarster

Character Design of mascot for a website, commissioned through reddit, it was a project where I did several illustrations to tell a story of a RPG campaign, and Prattle would be the face of this blog. I developed his character design, and walking cycle as GIF.

I had never worked with animation before, and until I learned that more frames for a action means a harder movement, and to create a more fluid action would need intersecting frames to imply a faster body change, was a longer path. The walking cycle was entirely done in photoshop, through the timeline tool.

Happy to be turning this past work into a project, and hope to do, and study, more of animation.
