Fox McCloud is ready for action! / Starfox Animation

A rough animation on Fox McCloud and his Arwing, from 'Starfox', the Nintendo Switch 2 remake of 'Starfox 64'. My idea was to do a short action-forward sequence, with a 2D translation from his new, more animal-like redesign, with a lot of detail. I'm happy with how this turned out.

This animation was where I finally went back and made my keyframes consistent, leading to a more cohesive and better animation, which was really cool to see come together, especially with the amount of detail both Fox and the Arwing have in their Switch 2 redesigns.

For my reference sheet, I only had the footage of him shown from the reveals and trailers leading up to the game's release - so certain details may be off, now that we see all of him throughout the now-released video game. Regardless, I'm still pleased with how I managed to get - and translate - the nitty grittiness of hyper-realism as best I could in the week or two's worth of work I put in.
