Pixel Joint Forum: 8 frames walk cycle

Message

   Hi guys, I recently started animating this sprite:

and ran in a lot of problems. This is what I have so far:

She limps slightly or looks shaky, I think I fail'd so much with this. Would you help me? :D

I tried to look at some references: none found (also installed Morrowind AND Oblivion to take a look at how the Khajiit moves, but, in Oblivion he's too much human like, in Morrowind he looks totally stupid).

Single frames:

Character inspired by Kaiseto

	You shouldn't see the back elbow, the front arm doesn't move that far either. Overall, the animation looks a bit tame and gelatinous, you'd probably be better off with better defined joints.

	I'm not a fan of how the closest arm moves -- she shouldn't change the direction of her hand when it reaches its forward-most position. Right now the arm has a very wavy motion -- try defining the elbow, and moving it according to that. The further-away arm's backward swing needs to be lessened -- notice how far back the other arm goes in relation to the body, and then take in to account that it's a quarter view: the arm should barely show or be hidden in the backswing. Very good, solid start.

	i like it. the character is really nice. but yes, the back arm shouldn't show also I really like the movement of the legs! you got the bobbing of the head too. all round it's awesome.

	Hi people. I worked a bit during this week. Changed the arms and legs. I'm a bit disappointed with the front arm right now. What do you think? Edit: made some progress. I sort of slowed down the arm when it reaches far left and far right, and now I realize that the arm should bend when it's in the far left and should not when it's in the far right. I have to reverse the thing. Edited by asukicco - 21 July 2010 at 2:12pm

	im pretty novice, but that looks cool! maybe add some flop to the ears later on down the road! edit-cure: this topic's about two weeks old. maybe not quite necro-posting (though close), but a little further back than is common to respond to. just be conscious of this in the future.

	Hi to everyone, forum people. It's been a long time since I posted any update in this thread. Well, I made some progress recently: What do you think? I'm about to start texturing it.

	I agree with Onek, a little more movement in the hair of the head will show that movememnt of air is present.

	Im sorry if somebody sayd it before, but I dont really like him jerking up-down so fast. It would help to make him go up n down smoothly over more frames. It would also be anatomicaly more realistic. Just my 2c ;)

	Hi! Please, help me out! :'( I'm very near to the end of this animation but I can't seem to make the tail move properly. Here my two attempts that are not crap but something similar: Any help?
