Looks really good! If you want to make it even better, add one frame inbetween every two current ones.

It may be the style you want, but don't the arms usually swing opposite to the leg movements?

eg. left arm forward while left leg back

but it looks good

It's pretty perfect except for what Timosity said...only camels walk with all extremities synchronized like that....try it yourself, it's almost impossible to do without falling

Looking good, except again for what Timosity said.  One rather minor thing I would add is that the movement of the ears and the breasts is perhaps a bit exagerrated, considering they only move for one frame.  Maybe you could either make the movement less pronounced or add an extra frame in between?

For a first walking animation, this is great, though.  Good work.

I like it!

I agree with everything that has been already said. I just wanted to add that she looks very confident and sezzy which works beautifully with the design.

well done.

Looking good for a first try!

Did you use Kafka Koffee's tut on walk animations?

* I agree with the arms part.  They need to counter balance the walk.
* When the legs cross eachother they seem to glow ... there's a lighter shade of gray outlining the front (right) leg as it crosses in front of the back (left) leg.
* Also, when the front (right) leg is all the way back the dark shading gets a few shades darker.

Just a few crits!  On the whole it's a great start!

Vel : I've got 6 frames, the same as in the Kafkas Koffee tut
And I think thats going to be enought for me, but thanks for the suggestion

Timosity (and everyone else who mentioned it) : Oops about the arms, All fixed

Remixor : I like the ear and breast movement being pronounced, but I think I may try you extra frame suggestion to smooth out the movement

Pure Ghost : Thats what I was going for :)

Oscar: Thats what I was going for too :)

Darth : Yes, I did use his tut.  I fixed the glow and shading problem.

You guys are great.  Thanks for the C&C
