Please critique. I know the cycle is not seamless because of the 'popping' between cycles, I'm just trying to get rid of it now...

it needs some love for sure though. In cycles, whenever you see something pop just check in your F-curves. The first and last keys should be the same. And it looks like in the torso you might have more keys than you need. Try to work with as few as you can for your first walk, it's alot easier that way. There are alot of parts that look pretty robotic so far that need touch ups. The arms for instance. To get an easy arc motion, you really just need a few keys to get them swinging back and forth. The middle position of the arm should more or less line up with the 'crossing-over' leg. For the other two positions, just key them so that they're opposite the legs. Try not to overcomplicate it with too many keys though, that's the main tip I'd give you for your first walk cycle. Also, you gotta pose out those hands if you can. I can't imagine anyone walking around with hands that stiff.

There ya go, be sure to post an update :)
