[another new walkcycle!] How would this thing move?

[cpage]

looks alot better I really think you nailed the down left animation

[.Sklate.]

Oh my, that background you have there looks gorgeous! :o

Any yep, I think you've got a pretty nifty walk cycle there 

[Gilbert]

Lovely jelly blob character!

One thing that annoyed me though, was that it's animation was too symmetric (in his "legs" part, wasn't that apparent in the side view though). I'll suggest a cyclic movement or some alternating moving patterns (like real character legs, and the hands you drew):

Also, I think a bit highlight on his forehead helps to make him less flat and more "jellyish" (like above).

That's just my personal preference, sorry about that.

[Dave Gilbert]

Nothing major to add, except I think he'd look adorable with a hat.

[MashPotato]

I like that walkcycle Gilbot!  Thank you, I'll try to incorporate some of the leg alternation into my animation ^_^.  I agree the head shine looks better, but the actual characters will have hair and clothes, so most of the head and trunk won't be visible.

@Dave Gilbert: Ironically, he's a hatmaker who hates wearing hats ^_^

Hmm when I looked at the original sprite I thought it should be a hovering ghost
(with the bottom part fluttering extremely fast like it's a piece of cloth in hard wind)

Think that would be cooler than a slime blob.
But since you've already gone down the slime path might as well stick with it.
The current animation looks good

....but since this is the critics lounge:
Don't think it's slimey enough!
Looks like a person trapped in a green plastic bag trying to walk.

I think he should have much less of a normal waliking animation, and more of a gliding and sliding animation.
Like he's a jelly blob on a soapy floor.

[MashPotato]

Thanks for the suggestions Hajjamujja, but I think I'm happy with the general walkcycle now ^_^.

Here is the cycle, complete with clothes and hair:


Unless there are major changes to make, this will probably be the last time I update about this walkcycle... I must move on! ^_^

Looks great! Even though that it on first sight looked like an... erm... Adult toy.

[Maltjik]

The walkcycle looks great now. Interesting!

However, I have a small idea/sugestion (and please, this is not to be considered as critique towards your design/drawingskills- which we all know are exceptional) about the hair:
Considering the "forehead" gloss that's been suggested... I thought it might be cool if he didn't have hair, but more jellostuff- shaped like a *gaa* Loosing my english here... Like a this:



Hair and jelly don't match too well IRL=p

[MashPotato]

That's a very good suggestion, thanks Maltjik!Ã,  I don't know what to do now! ^_^Ã,  I'll have to think about it... does anyone else have opinions on making the hair more jelly-like?

EDIT: if it helps, here is the animation.Ã,  I would modify the shines a bit if I do go down this route:

[Maltjik]

I personally like this better. I find the idea of jelly sprouting hair somewhat... vulgar.
Also more logical, if logic is to be applied when thinking of little dudes made out of jelly... I think.

[Afflict]

I must admit that I like this one more...

Anywho well done on the animation MashPotato! WOW aswell as that snazzy looking background!
