This is so fucking cute

The way that the limbs cycle is wonderful and I love the rotation in the chest/hips. The tail, however...

For how big it is, it looks awkward snapping around like a piece of cloth. Realism mostly aside (given the proportions), I think that it should hang more heavily behind him.
One of the main benefits of a tail is balance, especially while running. I bet he could really get moving if he wanted to.

Thanks for the feedback. Very new to animating. It may not be the best. I kinda like the general aesthetics of the tail swish, but there are certainly some jerky movements that could be better.

What if when he was running he encountered a large sharp rock.

What if he was running and that didn't happen? That's a nice thought

this is just adorable
big boi

OH LAWD HE COMIN

The animation cycle is lovely, but there is some asynchronity between the sways of the legs. The farthest one, or his right, swings farther than the one closest, his left. It makes it look like he is limping.
I also can't shake the feeling that the swing of the shoulders and arms is not fully in synch with the leg kicks.
Other than that the progress is fluid and really adorable~
