Stripless Tiger

I'm a bit late for the Inktober thing.. I am going to do it but I'll post the pictures later..

And I do have a good excuse for not starting it in time... I was animating!

Just a little study/test thingy of a tiger walking and jumping on a rock. I used a video I took years ago in a zoo as a reference. That and a video of a lion jumping on a rock that I found on youtube.

I was quite surprised how much patience I actually had and didn't rush it.. Although still took just about 12 hours to do, so with a bit more patience it could have become a bit more clean... and have stripes. But I'm happy the way it is now and I may or may not add the stripes later if I find the inspiration to draw them.. You can guess it would be a bit pain in the arse to animate them... x__x

Here are two versions of the animation. First one only has the keys, maybe a couple of inbetweens.. and the second one is fully inbetweened. It runs 275 frames 24fps, mostly on 2s. Animated on Sketchbook Pro 2015. As you may notice I changed some of the keys to the final version to make the poses a bit more clear, also moved the rock and changed the timing a bit at some parts so in the end turned up to be 25 frames shorter than the first version.

Only keys

Fully inbetweened.
