Another Walk Cycle Update

Wow, didn't realize how long it's been since I posted. Been pretty busy lately as I'm sure most people have. Anyway, I fixed the motion of the shoulders (again), but I'm happy with them this time. I'm also pleasantly surprised with the head turn. Now all I have left to tweak is the hood & his elbow/forearm placement in a few frames. I may also try to emphasise his belly bouncing as well for a more "cartoony" look. Please excuse the chaotic looking lines, I'm working sans pegbar/disc so I'm using paperclips & tape to allign my drawings. Let me know what you think:


Hmmm.... in my preview the walk is embedded & plays fine, however all I get when I publish the post is a red x. Can someone please comment & just let me know if you can see it? I'm on IE, maybe firefox will show it. *shrug* Just in case you can't see it, here's a link: Walk Cycle Pencil Test

Pat,
I can't see it in the blog using Firefox but the link worked fine. My only suggestion is to slow the whole walk down. If your shooting it on one's change to two's etc. The action is really getting there nicely but the character is moving too fast for the style walk you are doing.

Appreciate the tips JK, thanks. I'll finish inking it as it stands (28 frames on 1's) & then see what it looks like on 2's. I'm quite pleased with it so far though.
