Crazy Run Anim
I did a *ahem* pencil test of a run animation this morning. It's sort of a homage to Sonic, but that's partly because i have no actual experience animating running. Truth be told, my animation experience extends to a sprite edit of tails I made as an avatar back in the day. Some bizarre Poké pc 'ads' (thankfully dissolved into the ether). And trying to animate a ball last summer and giving up in dispair when I ran out of paper. And also reading Cartoon Brew
Here it is.
I know it's just a pencil test, and even the pencil tests at disney look a bit crap, but it's still a bit disheartening. Although it's totally fixable. There's only 4 frames (two of which are the same) and its, well, in pencil. I also like the entirely unintentional, yet quite good, arm movement. Where it follows the head and stuff. Also, the reason for its huge size, is because it looked wank when reduced down. i'll have to scan it in at the highest res possible when i finally do it i think. I might just wuss out and do all the people in graphics gale. Less stressful?
I also started to do something of a mock up a week or two ago, but i didnt actually finish the background (which is going to be all painted and cool and shit). But here's the gist of it.

I know you like using physical materials, but I would advise that you either jump straight into GraphicsGale or as soon as you have the basic line drawings for each frame, copy that into GG (without the scanner). That would be what I would do anyway.
