As stated in previous posts, I have decided to create three run cycles, one for each of the main characters using the same template for each of them to follow the same 8-frame cycle and make sure they were within the same scale and style. I started with Zest as she would be a good starting point for when it came to me creating the rest of the animated run cycles for the trio.
In order to keep things easier to follow and understand in their current state of sketch animations, I made sure to not include their leg/feet bandages as I can include them easier when it comes to the final lineart process for their designs. This also made the sketch process easier as I would spend more time focusing on these details when I needed to focus on the flow of the cycles.
Finally, when it came to converting my sketch layers into a gif format, I saved each as a different speed in order to see the outcome. (Zest being the slowest and Citrus being the fastest.) This helped me see that no matter what speed I decide on for the final product I know it will look fine either being slower or faster. I am very proud with the final result of these sketch animations and will include more detail in the final product.
