I managed to put something together, I only made the wireframe because I want to have the movement right before I start the sprite;)


Thanks again adarias for the advice about the wireframe ;D

UPDATE:

With frame (it's slightly different of the one without but that's because I edited some frames afterwards)


Here it is, the new walk animation. (the second one is with an edit, but I'm not really sure about it...)

I think it has improved but the left leg is looking unfinished to me...

This has really improved but i still think there are some problems. As the feet are sliding along the ground (so their height won't
be changing) shouldn't they follow that straight line (that is 2 across, then one up, then two across). His (actual) right foot
seems to be too far down just before it lifts off the ground.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

The coloring has begun!:

With or without the gloves with gold?
Any other crits? I'm sure there will be, I don't think it's really bad but something seems wrong.

edit:
fixed the broken link

im feeling as though there isnt enough to his design.  The blue hair + blue uniform = flat, the desate midvalue gold + desat midvalue blue = flat.  If you could, i would try to break him up into at very least two main values and two main colors.  the gold is a good start but i think there should be more of it and brighter.  also, i had liked the nice firm lines yould had on the walk cycle, id bring those back were i you.  Thats all design stuff though, this one is well aligned and a significant improvement over the beginning
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

I really like how far this has come but feel the new version with the armor still has the same problems as the old one.

Why not try making his legs and arms a different color to help the chest piece, gloves and boots or whatever stand out a bit more.

I also think you have got to get away from highlighting absolutely every little section of the armor with the same value high light. It really creates a weird optical effect and stuff further away from the light or blocked by something in front of the light it would receive, shouldn't be as bright as something right directly in the sunlight. I'd say worry less about trying to get the armor "shiny" right away and more about getting your general volumes down and add some more colors to the armor so it doesn't look like a big blue jumpsuit.
