Walk This Way pt2: Kid Hercules Comes Alive!

Here it is! I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite awhile- the moment when I could bring Kid Hercules to life! During the course of my 365 challenge,  a friend of mine suggested I do a walk cycle, and then animate it later. The second gif shows the untouched scans from my sketchbook. As you can see, I wasn’t able to properly align my “frames” since I drew them in a Moleskine. Even after cleaning things up a bit in Photoshop, Kid Hercules is still a little jittery, but it was super fun to do and I’m oddly proud to see my character come to life after working on him for such a long time.
