[ISO] Walk Cycle

Well this is what I have so far, C+C?

First thing I noticed was that his right leg seems to limp on the pass.

[slym]

Thanks for noticing that. I think I fixed it, as well as making his knee lead the walk more.

[slym]

I tried adding flesh :/

[ElementZero]

His shoulders should move!

[Olothontor]

His shoulders should move!

And his chest, for the matter. There should be some slight side-to-side movement in his chest in shoulders, because without it right now he looks a bit unnatural.

Good luck with this, by the way.

[slym]

Thanks guys. This is what I have now:



I tried adding chest movement, I'm not sure if it's enough though.

[Olothontor]

Hmm. Two things, I think:

1) It seems rather jerky, but part of this might also have to do with my second critique...

2) The chest movement is fine (I think ), but the head moves directly proportional to the body, and I don't think that's preferable. You can either stop the head motion entirely or leave it in but reduce the motion by a fair amount. I'd suggest the latter.

I say remove the head rotation. People do NOT move their heads left and right when walking, do you?

[slym]

Good point ptoing

Ok this is what I have now. Thanks everyone for the awesome critique, it's helping out a ton, as you can tell.

His neck is way too tall. Move his head down a couple pixels, and make a face a bit longer.

I agree with ptoing, and extra. The shading on his torso implies it is moving left and right. You don't move your torso left and right when you walk, right?

[StarRaven]

I think the knees are too high up. A person's thigh is slightly longer then their shin - just something to keep in mind. Looking good so far!

Am I the only one to find that arms are too short and looks like hands were cut off ?

[Stickman]

I think a little rotation on the torso would make the walk cycle not so stiff.
