milchreisfps is a bit high, but it looks good.

TMYou make it look so easy. :/ I do wonder how you come up with the design of these things… particularly this one. LOL P.S. – Do you have a MOZY affiliate link handy? (I come here first for links)

RaduHow many instances in there?!
I`m assuming you have the arms in a motion tween, but everything else is drawn instance by instance, right?You must have somewhere from 8-10 instances.
Overall, a great cycle.Cheers,

Scott SoederLooks good. Seems like his nose should flop a bit. How is that Cintiq. So jealous….

JamesHe looks stiff, and there’s an apparent jerk on the looping frame. He’s also walking at a canter that isn’t proportional to his anatomy.
If this is a frame by frame study, then why did you tween the arms?

Have fun.

TMUh, James? I think he said “A quick little frame-by-frame”, not a “study”. Have you seen any of his portfolio by any chance? Your link takes us to an animation of a figure STOMP walking. However, I did check out your site. You have a lot going on there, and I do not doubt you also are an accomplished animator!

JamesJust offering a genuine critique. Thanks for the kind words, TM.

chrisGuilty as charged for tweening the arms – I got lazy – it was around 3am when i needed a break from writing and wanted to just do something with the Cintiq that was more or less mindless fun. He could be so much better but I was tired. The animation is about 12 frames at 24fps so it is fast. I inserted frames so that he’s animated on two’s and it looks better. I may see how many different walkcycles i can do with this guy to add more life to him – then throw the source files on the CD for the book.
Thanks for responses folks – maybe I’ll start a walkcycle volley in the forum

chrisI just updated the animation – the 2nd character is a duplicate instance with frames inserted to adjust the timing.

TMsee? of course. was I too much of a baracuda? (sorry about that James) I was only defending your honor Chris.
LOL

chrisI plan to do a lot more of these short looping FBF studies – I was never trained as an animator so these are important for me to become better at animation in general. More to come – all comments welcome – bad ones especially

TMAND… I am glad you plan to do more. Is it wrong to be hopeful for a new Christmas animation/presentation this year with your new digs?? (Flash CS4 – newer to us of course) People love when I send them your stuff during the holidays. I adore the cartoons!! no pressure, as usual.

ТурокТема ну просто пиздец.
Неужели ничего поактуальней не нашлось?

Andy BauerYou did a nice job on the legs. How long did it take you?
I’m partial to your “2D and a half” style of animation.
FBF animation is excellent but personally, I’m too impatient to do it myself… unless it’s for quick effects-animation.

Andy Bauer…one constructive criticism… his body needs to come back down with his right-leg steps. He walks like a peg-legged pirate. LOL
