This is just a bit past the blocking stage. I have added some inbetweens, and all the tangents are still set to linear. Is it too snappy in places? How are my poses and timing? I would appreciate any and all comments.

It was created in Maya 5.0

Update! I have now added the tweens and overlapping of limbs and such. I am about to set all the tangents to "Spline." Then on to lipsync! Let me know if I can fix things before I move on.

Well, I am no animation expert, but I thought it was very well done.

Yes, some of the spots are a little snappy, but not to the extent of being overdone IMO. The anciliary movements are great. Seems to have a very good flow/weight to him as well.

Can we see a non-linear one now?

the gesturs and timming are good.. you could push the anticipation, if u want, id recomed that.

ofcourse with the linear keys your motions end abrupt...they obviously need some follow-though (to show balance).. so, u know what to do.

some overlapping action on the motions would help?

might wanna think about ,, favoring one side leading some of the motions too.. so the motions with the arms arent symetrical all the time.

good job though
