Yesterday I finished animating a second Minotaur and started a third.I made a horrible mistake in that i merged a planning layer that had arcs drawn on it into one of the Minotaurs. I didn’t have enough undos to correct the situation. So I erased each of the arcs one each individual cell. However the lines still appear inside the character. I will have to go through and touch up each cell with paint as well. I thought I had positioned the arc layer below the painted layer but I guess I moved it back up in the stack for some reason. That is a mistake I will never make again.
I will resume touch up work after I finish animating and painting the third Minotaur. I have to keep moving forward. I have two more Minotaurs to animate including the larges one. Actually the largest one might block some of these mistakes so I will wait until he is in the scene before I clean up the nitty gritty mistakes.
The first two Minotaurs I had turn over the course of one stride in their run. The animation I am doing today lengthens that turn over two strides. This should soften the turn and break up any monotonous timing similarities between characters.
