Walk Anim [WIP]

[Joo]

Hey guys, First art posted here.

I need some major C+C And edits here.. I really need help getting this anim working.

Thanks, Joo.

EDIT : Photobucket made it transparent  But you can kinda see what i was getting at.

Try walking in your room : not only your legs move. The head pops up and down, the arms go front and back etc etc...

Im not very good at animations, but i can tell you to study this first

[Joo]

Could noone help me getting it walking then? I've already been through endless tuts.

Did you actualy read them? You should know what we're going to say, you'd be dumb if you couldnt recognize whats wrong, so try to fix it. We can crit your attempts.

I suggest you get your pixelling skills down before you attempt animation. Right now, the character itself is lacking many fundamental aspects, and once you get down anatomy, shading, etc, animation should be much easier to understand and correct.
Good luck.

This isn't one of my best works, i'll admit. But the shading and proportions are temporary until i have a decent walk cycle down. I'll submit some of my other work tomorrow, cant be bothered now.

Edit : And i'd also appreciate comments related to the art, before you generally flame me as an artist.

There's no flaming going on here, just honest critique. In fact, you should probably not bother with anything but lineart until you've got the animation done the way you want it. Use either a stick figure, or rough outlines, colors and shading show up after you feel good about the actual animation. So try starting with that, and use those tutorials, they're not just for fun!
