hey ajsfuxor, really nice work here. :thumbsup:

nice tight movement, nothing too floaty, i think the weight shifts in the chair are my favourite... looks kinda like he's waiting in a dentists office or something ... a place where you're never gonna get comfy... :annoyed: (i know he's watching telly!)

his walk seems a little odd tho, a little plodding, maybe flat footed? maybe a little more up and down or side to side in the hips... just a little tidying i guess...

so where does he go from here?

good stuff

cheers

Hey ajsfuxor,

Sweet work. Really like the look and feel of the character.

I also like the way he's looking pretty uncomfortable (hence the name obviously) and the movement here looks very fluid and realistic when he's sitting and moving around on the chair. Did you use yourself as a reference :)

Depending obviously on where you want to go with the rest of the short and the type and style of the character, agree with James that he could use maybe a little "bounce" in his step.

Overall I love it and think it's some really excellent stuff.

Can't wait to see what adventures are in store for him!

Cheers,

Womper.

No seriously, great animation. I would love to see him do even more uncomfortable positions !

A really good start.

Animation is not looking too bad. It needs some general work on timing. Add some pauses here and there. Make some of the movements a little more abrupt and decisive. Turn away and walk definitely needs some work. Try shooting your self doing it. Exxagerate it a little more.

This looks like it is well on it's way.

Good job.

:thumbsup: Rick
