Counterparts is a hardcore band from Canada. During covid, the band went to twitter and asked for an animator to help them create an animation for twitch. I reached out and helped them create this running cycle animation of their mascot Strikey.
I started by redesigning Strikey for animation. I then created the different poses for his run cycle. Once I had all of my assets, I started by animating the body’s bounce. I marked the highs and lows of the body bounce and used that to animate the hands and feet. After all of that was done, I added the eyes, eyebrows, arms and legs. The band loved the animation and used it as a pop up notification for new followers on their channel.
