the idle bit and walk bit are pretty perfect, kinda look like animations for a game

even the run isn’t far off

the thing about runs, when you got a more complex rig, it’s tougher to cartoon-ize it which is almost necessary

smears and such are often utilized to get a proper feeling of speed, instead of *actually* animating the legs going through the entire motion

see: sonic but it’s a bit extreme

in your case, you may be able to get away with simply skipping those “in-between” frames where the legs cross (or, maybe just smear that one, play with it) and instead kind of just go from contact frame to contact frame with a bit of easing

i can’t believe i put this much effort in, but i actually quickly made an example using the default https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ac4mm8w5iubi5yzx28fax/gayrun.stknds?rlkey=ogjg1z3f6wngv1zmmazcm3wdf&dl=0

theres only 1 in-between frame, and all it needs is some swishiness put on top to give the illusion of fast-moving legs – without this right now it kind of looks like he’s skipping
