Forward Walk Draft Horse Test

Ok so I decided to challenge myself with a awkward 3/4 forward horse walk cycle. It wasn't actually as hard as I first had thought, however I was a bit cheeky with the body and copy and pasted it only adjusting for noticeable movements in its placement ( this will be changed when I do a second pass). The legs are also not working as the should, the general movements there but its not quite right, so a lot of corrections needed there, Running at 12 Fps at the moment as on 24 fps it looks like its headbanging :/ Maybe I'l upload it for a laugh.


While studying the movement in 2d I have also been replicating the musculature in 3d to better my understanding.


















Materials used Apoxie sculpt and an awfully looking old cardboard horse form. Looked more like a skinned rat.
I could not recommend doing something like this more. It really made me look hard and concentrate on the form and bettered my placement for effective line work and curvatures which could improve and minimize my style.
