hey mrflynn,

IMO its too fast and snapy, i guess u have to make the cycle a little longer and smoother in order to gice crit...

Cheers,

other than the arms, i'd say you might want to tone down the up and down of the body. make it a bit more subtle.

draw a path of action that follows the hips across tha page and draw your tail over that...right now it seems too stiff.
Don't tone any of the action down if he's supposed to be a cute little character...think about how his proportions could be changed to "sell" him as a personality...the walk basically works right now but he just looks like you rotoscoped an overweight man and stuck a mouse head stuck on him...keep pushing it!

I agree about the tail-- too stiff, do what he said and follow the path of the hips. The arms seem to have nearly the same sillouette as each other, so it looks like one arm on double time instead of two going a normal pace. Shading the back arm even darker would help if you don't want to change the sillouette. I think the amound of up an down movement is good, don't tone it down...

good start!
