hi Stephen...I think the character and the style chosed is really rocking!!
but was wondering if a leeeeeetle more movement for the body is required..like a slight tilt and back?? like the way u treated the head maybe...???
of course i am not seeing the animation in it's entire context
cheers

Hey Stephen, thanks for your comments on my work. Glad to hear you liked it. I think the character you have here is pretty cool and walk is coming along well. For the style you've chosen to work with, I wouldn't do too much extra to his body. Maybe add in a slight squash and stretch on the contact and then as he rises up. The big thing to watch out for is the foot spacing and arcs. If you need to see a visual representation, take the heel and plot the arcs on a layer above the animation. I don't know if you rough everything out with the brush tool first but it really helps to keep everything loose. Watch out for the head rotation and make sure the pivot point is moved to the base of the neck. Good luck and keep animating!

hey steve,
i think his walkstyle is charming and since he is very designy and flat, it goes hand in hand with one another.
