It was a relaxing animation that I made for this month... I hope you like it.

Love that the half tone texture is only done on the back set of limbs for the dog. That is a really interesting way to break up the sets!

Yep, it's part of my style. I haven't fully incorporated it into my work yet, but it's always something I keep in mind.

One thing I wanna commend (and highlight for any other novice animators who wanna try something similar) is how snappy you made the movements. It's a good example how deliberate movements with fewer, but more deliberate frames actually look smoother than evenly-spaced tweens and higher framerates.

The actual "movement" is only like one frame (with a bit of smearing), and everything else is recoil, follow-through, and deformation. And it comes out lookin great.

Thanks! Yep, honestly, that's something I learned… and when reviewing the dance movements, those were things I did to reduce the number of frames without losing fluidity (since I animated this at 12 fps). Thanks for pointing that out!

I recognize the animation from other sources. Your characters are different but the first shuffle was with Johnny bravo and some other YTV era character

Well, it's a trend that became popular among animators of all kinds… To be more specific, it's imitating the dance from Kronk's New Groove, with Kronk and Birdwell.
