this is maded using as base a sprite that Domino-CLE did for me as avatar for D.A.
the original is this one http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/e/l/el-sato.gif
i have some time thinking in making animations for this :D i think im making some game mockups too with my and her char :D this is hers http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/d/o/domino-cle.gif
they fit well together dont you think? xD

ok, please let me know the errors you can see, its hard for me to make walking animations but ok, im trying to improve :D
and i want to make the next one better, i need to make 3 diferent walking speeds (diferent animations, not just diferent timing)

I always pixel in just two different coloured blobs for feet and get the correct movement first before adding detail, its a lot quicker. The feet should never be side by side and it would make it a little clearer if you shade the back leg slightly darker than the front one to show a distinction between the two. Its v difficult to describe but try to have a foot impact on the floor with the heel at the front of the body then slide backwards for 2 frames, feet flat along the floor.  The forth frame should then have the foot at its furthest back position lifting with the heel first. with the last 3 frames move the foot up and forward in a circular motion towards its impact position at the front again. Repeat with the other foot but on opposite frames. I really reccomend the book Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair to you or any other people on here for that matter who are interested in character animation. It really helped me learn and come up with realistic body positions whilst learning pixel animation. 

Soz for the rant, but I have a lot of interest in cartoon walkcycles and animation. Hope it helps if you can understand my poor guide. It looks really good what you have so far leg positions jus need a lil work.

it'll definitely look cool if you make him walk backwards - he'll look like he's moonwalking lol, that's cool

He needs to lift his legs, bend his knees, et cetera.

Right now it looks like he's going ice skating.

Superb. Smooth animation and a wonderful character.

I know why, the problem is his not lifting his leg kicking forward and placing his foot down. This gives it a swing motion like retreating away from something, as Unlocked said.

Nice animation and draw, but look like he's walking to his back
