hello, hello. It's been awhile since I've made a walk cycle, so I figured I should create one and post it for you all to devour. The legs, I'm content with, but the arms look slightly off. Any suggestions, paintovers, etc is appreciated.
Its supposed to be me, by the way.

Yup, those arms are off. Perhaps I should add some head bobbing, as well?
definately some head bobbing; maybe even the whole body should move up'n'down
Yup it be needin' some bob tiki. When the legs are fully extended move the whole character up a pixel. Also shade the back arm a darker colour, at the moment it kinda merges with the front arm. Ohh and the neck seems a little long, but that may be your style.
bounce bounce bounce
going with what chicken said: the back hand takes the same position which becomes kind of confusing. maybe move it up a couple pixels... looking good, and yes could use some head bobbing. nice job!
about the legs though...the back leg slippers are so dark that they seem to be an extention of the pants outline. Perhaps you can make the pant's outline a darker blue, instead of black?
it looks frighteningly similar to the main character from 'no action jackson'
Alright, I whipped up a quick redo of that walk cycle. I hadn't read all off your comments when I did this, so some things that were suggested you won't see yet. A few people had told me to add a frame or two in IRC, but I don't know where to add them without screwing up the feet.

I'll be fixing that back hand next...
DanClarke: Can you show me a screenie from No Action Jackson? I don't really know what the main character looks like, I just remember that it was similar to DOTT... I had made this char with the intentions of having him look like me.
