Title: C&C on animation please

How does this look for a walking animation?

I will post the other views when they are done.

It's pretty good, but there's a few things.

1.  The way he walks it looks like he's dancing--when he's walking, it's one leg forward, one leg back most of the time.

2.  His arms look limp--Unless that's what he is, you should fix that.

3.  His head and body don't move to his movement, so it looks very odd.

I'd do a few paintovers to try and help, but I'm quite bad at any kind of animating...

It looks funny, and I mean that in a good way!

However, to make it look as if he's walking you'll have to animate the legs moving simultaniously, one going back when the other comes forward, not one at a time the way you've done it now. The same goes for the arms, which also probably would swing more back and forth than across his tummy...

Keep trying! You'll get there!

You've also gotta bob him up and down a bit. Otherwise it'll look incredibly odd when he's actually sliding across the screen.
