Description
"The core principle of freedom, is the only notion to obey"Gateways, by Dimmu Borgir
This song I hear when I imagine this scene:
Metal version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrzU_O… (from 0.17 - 0.45
Orchestral version: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ufVyY… (from: 0.47 - 1.17)
My white Norwegian siderian Stian (official name: Stygian Stígandr Sætensen) fighting his way to his 'paradise'...where he's free from the species that has filled his heart with hate, fear and revenge - meaning our species.
See here more about him and his background:
Siderians are horse-sized felines with some metaphysical powers. They are a hybrid between a Siamese cat, tiger and a lynx. However Stian looks mostly like a Siamese-tiger hybrid.
So siderians are CATS and NOT WOLVES/DOGS ...sorry but it still seems necessary - which I simply can't believe
About the animation - I have used Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe ImageReady CS2.
It's a 10 frames of Stian running in left-leading-rotary gallop (the left front leg comes as last on the ground and is therefore the leading one - yes Stian is left-handed).
These are the references I have used:
* A hunting tigress in rotary gallop; main reference: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXvxCv… (at 3.00)
*A tiger in left lead transverse gallop- but useful for the hair www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnZcAJ…
* Thoroughbred horse for the movement of the hair: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQDAUv…
* Slow motion of a running cat - mainly for the tail which stays remarkably constant: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYom2w…

Oh, this is really amazing! *_*
I remember your previous animation of a running cheederian, you've improved a lot since then)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yeah the previous one is just bugged - maybe so bad that I even don't really call it a cheederian...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, there's a great difference between the creature you've drawn that time and cheederians you draw now...
I think you can call it a cheederian, in that picture it was just its previous variant.) Maybe in future your species will change a bit too, but your characters are still cheederians)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes - they still tend to change more and more toward tiger-like actually...but I think I will still keep the proportions lynx-like (headlength- shoulderheight-bodylength)and the appearance and head Siamese like. But I think they will change due to my improved anatomy knowledge rather than their whole appearance I think. I'm now very content with how they appear in my head
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So Stian was the first to change into more tiger-like hybrid)
Oh, It's very nice that you're content with their appearance)
And I'll wait to your next drawings))

This is simply beautiful... I love your species. The movement is so fluid and natural. You have done a fantastic job at the movement (very cat/horse-like) and I love the way the hair moves to the wind. Great job. Inspiring, really
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Yeah for the running movements and the anatomy I have used a tiger as reference, but the hair is indeed drawn with the help of a good horse ref
