Cool.  I want to see some sweet attacking animations :D  I was wondering if I could make a small edit?  I just have a few nitpicks and my descriptions are slipshod at best. 
go straight ahead :y:

I think it's because when his left feet is behind it springs to the first frame again, it now actually just throws his feets forwards. I wish you good luck with your project ;D

lol dont worry about it, I agree.
I dont think I shouldve made him pop forward for four frames, it only added emphasis on his left leg :n:

edit-

without popping forward

made the hair and ear turn with the face, thanks larwick

(This stuff is awesome .TakaM)

Generally i think a much more exaggerated walk is needed. Well, perhaps not much more, but at least slightly. Take the arms for instance, his shoulders dont actually move, making it look like he's got a rope tied around his chest. The same kindof goes with the legs and hips, although i think you improved it, they don't swing quite enough for a comfortable walk (look more at your head-on walk, which i think is fine).

Also, when turning his head that much, surely his ear should move too?

Good luck with this, it looks superb.

The side view walking animation is not in sync with it self. Looking at the front view, I notice that the arms in legs are exactly in tune with each other. Right leg back, left arm back, left leg forward, right arm forward. In the side view however, they seem to be on different pendulums of motion, and it throws off the piece.

Also, I like how his legs looked like they ended in nubs, perhaps you should ditch the toe portion you see from the side.

The side views walk seems unnatural in another way- he's not quite facing the side. When he walks, he goes directly side to side, but his angle dictates that he would actually veer to the side a little.

His head jerks to one direction only. I don't think his head should move horizontally at all, in the side view, hes staring straight ahead, not wobbling his head like hes looking for something. But, aside from that, his eyes move towards us, but not away. Try turning your head steadily to one side but not the other. No one ever does that.

I like the front and back views a lot.

I noticed the legs and arms were out of sync when I first made it, I cant quite remember completely but I think that mightve been as good as I could get it, I shouldve used the head on animation for the same timings
and the head turn, I dont like it anymore, especially considering the head on animation doesnt turn his head, instead I think I'll just use it for part of the idle anim:

thanks gs
