Ok Here is the animation
http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/bikerwalk.gif
I just can't get it right. I've been trying and trying for days now so please help me anyone hehe. If anyone can make this animation look good i will give you the games Hand of fate and Monkey Island 4 (both in box) It doesn't matter where you live i'll mail them to you. And I'm a man who keeps my word. I'll appreciate it extremly much if someone could help me. I'm going crazy here :D
Btw. there's no need to shade him, I'll do that later
Well no offense to Eric but that walkcycle has alot wrong with it. The only thing I suggest is moving his head when he walks.
No offense taken. I was burnt out and I couldn't get myself to redo the up walk cycle, it has a lot wrong with it.
You don't have to reward people for helping you, they'll help you either way.
Then again I should get those games because you're using my walkcycle templates...
The main thing wrong is that the leg perspective is broken. The legs should appear closer together when away from the camera, not further apart.
The alternative doesn't look that great, either:

(Actually, the big problem here is that the legs go way too far back behind the guy.)
That's almost a great rollerblading animation, Snarky.
Snarky: Looks like the figure is walking up the stairs.
To clear possible misunderstandings, what Snarky posted is also MrColossals template.
I think you need something a little more lumbering. This is a rough example of what might work better:

I tried to keep the basic shape of the biker, but I lowered his painfully high crotch. It's far from perfect, and it plays a little too fast, but I think it has a little more 'attitude'.
Hey that's not bad at all Ali, that looks MUCH better :D

Yes, well actually, it's my attempt to rework MrColossal's walk cycle, from ages ago. It didn't come out right.
Oh, my mistake then. Sorry, no harm intended.
No problem. Just making sure that MrColossal doesn't get blamed for my crappy paintover. :)
