Hey, a Trouble-Tabby :D

What is it, you don't like on your running sprite?

Is that my same sprite? I don't get it though like what did I do wrong cause it looked really awful. however now looking at it I think I would like to add some arm movement as if he was really running.

Yes, it's yours. I didn't change a line.

It's a slow running now without rush.
You could try to bend the upper body a bit forward, when the running is to be even faster (like sprinters do) and moving the arms a bit more.

Yes, that's a bit more dynamic:

Tabata, gif master!

Cool sprite Icey, you should make the head and back more arched, than add a 1pixel head bob when legs are in the jumping frame.

Sorry for the last gif. I was in a hurry for to go to work and didn't want you to wait for the reply such a long time until now. Therefor I had no time for to cut the layers by my own. It's been done from the programm and I don't know why, but sometimes it cuts a bit too much, like here.  :P
Nontheless the progress is to be seen clearly and for to see this it's good enough (hopefully)    ::)

I found a nice example to show how much you can bend the body forward for a more faster running
(if you still want an even faster run):

Maybe it helps a bit.

It okay, It was no rush. I actually think it looks cool as I don't really want it to seem like he is speeding all over the place.

Aah, okay then.
In this case I want to give you a „complete“ version of the one with the nicely done arm-swinging  ;)
and since the difference is better to be seen, when they are placed together:

the first run             the second run

btw. I like them  ;D

Well the rabbit-guy might not want to lift his leg so high up really, it doesn't really serve any purpose in running, maybe jumping over objects, but...

@tabata: Thanks a bunch :)

@Tuomas: I wanted to give him a cartoonish run style.
