Galloping horse - practice

DOWNLOAD FOR A SLIGHTLY LARGER VERSION!!!

this is a major victory for me! i finaly understood how to make two (or three, if the static mountain counts) different backgrounds rolling at different speeds! it may not look like much, but the grasses on the front roll about 50% faster than the bushes in the middle! *dances*
ahem... anyway, this is a practice for the animation =Littlekirara asked me. it will be a savanah landscape, so the mastery of multiple rolling backgrounds was essencial. now that it's done, it's only a matter of making the actual drawings and making a better background! BTW, if you're wondering, yes, that was suposed to be the Kilimanjaro Mount! XD

-----------------
for LittleKirara:

i believe we've agreed that the gallop would be 4-beat, but this kind of gallop is a lot harder to do in only 8 frames than the 3-beat. if you still want it 4-beats, i can do that, but i'm affraid the result won't be as neat. anyway, if there's anything else about this movement you'd like me to change (knees' elevation, neck, ears, etc), just tell me!
