Gallop! (animation)

yay! my first succeeded attempt at making an animated horse on photoshop.

it is supposed to look like an arabian horse, but then i coloured it like spirit (even though that coat doesn't even exist in arabians)...
i know it has many problems... the hind legs have too little mobility , the front legs spread too much, i don't like the shoulder, the mane's movement is WAY too dramatic (although flowing and neat) and the tail is a cluster of randomly moving pixels (= piece of &%$#). and the forelock is stupid, too. right, that must prove i have to work more in hair movement, from now on. oh wel...

a more accurate description can be found in another picture, named "The making of". ;)
