My 1st Walk-Cycle for Critique

Nice! I would bet money he would look more natural with a slower walk. Great job!

Treat the arms like a couple of pieces of rope. wagging back and forth. That may help a lot!

Nice, nice

I really like the timing of the cycle. It pushes an energetic and playful nature for character (if that's what you are going for).

I agree with Titojr on the arms though. I think all you have to do is rotate all of the keys back about 20 degrees so that his arms swing "back" past his hips. The secondary motion seems good on the hands.

I would also keep the foot that is planted down longer and roll the toe, just as he lifts the foot off the ground. This will keep his leg more straight and will help make that up and down motion of the hips seem natural.

Good luck! IT's look really good.

G'day

It looks good for a first walk cycle. I would agree with ankheilw that the foot seems to lift a bit too early, but it's just to the point that it my not even be noticed. The secondary action is nice, though the arms do look a bit unnatural, as has been said. Just a bit further past the hips would probably do it. Great start, just keep moving forward from there.
