Description
Got bored and wanted to animate something so decided to try and animate a walk Cycle for Talo. The head/neck region's a bit rickety (since I just copy pasted the head onto each frame so I wouldn't have to worry about the head size while sketching), but hopefully-- if I can muster up the patience for it-- I'm gonna fix up the lines and get this thing all coloured and nice.Drawn on SAI.
Animated in PS Elements 5.0.
17 frames total.

(Sorry for the belated comments; I'm trying to catch up on my messages and finally have gotten to you!)
The walk cycle looks super smooth and controlled, and though the legs are very thin they do look like they could support the body.

It is very much like a deer. There is a bit of a limp in one of the leg passes. But overall it's pretty good

Dem legs 
And wait a sec, you animated this in PS Elements 5? Sorry I have to ask, but how? ;A; I mean, I've had Elements for 3 years now and currently using Elements 10, but I've never figured out how you can animate with it.

You just go to "save for web" when you go to save and check the animate button! : D

Nice smoothness! Also, good job on the feet not sliding! That's hard to do
Before you clean it up and make it look nice, you might want to take a look at this [link] and re-do the legs, because they're not really accurate as they are now.
The leg movements you've got here are those of a trot, or a similarly paced, faster gait [link]
When animals walk, their legs tend to move it a sort of "backwards wave" from the back foot to the front foot [link] [link] [link]
Hope that helps

Oooooo thank you very much for the advice and references! : D (especially that slow mo horse video)
I'm not sure that I'll edit this particularly walk cycle, though, just because I'm extraordinarily lazy and trying to fix the bones of this again (had lots of trouble with it earlier) will make me want to rip my hair out. But I'll certainly take all of that into consideration for future attempts. I probably should have just referenced this to begin with, but as I said before I'm quite lazy with animation ahahha (I'm honestly surprised I had enough patience for this as is, and it's still a likely chance that I'll never finish it)
Thanks again! C:

My pleasure!

Mhmmm precisely C:
Talo is meant to be a deer/wolf blend with sort of an ambiguous body shape that's probably more like a domestic dog than anything
