George Walks!
Yep, George is taking his first steps! Well, they're still rather clumsy, but they're steps. His clothing is have a few malfunctions, we'll have to talk to wardrobe about that.
TOO STIFF AND EVEN! Very common mistake, you have to remember humans don't walk like robots! You need more overlap and secondary action and some breaking of joints on the arms. Add some more sway on the hips and shoulders too. There a ton of online tutorials on walks online that talk about this, I suggest you take a look at them 'cause they may mention more than I noticed! There's ton of refrences here for starters: http://www.carlosbaena.com/anim_material.html
I really should have corrected this footage. This is the "old rough test", if you will. I actually realized that my character was out of proportion, but this animation was made before the resize, yet rendered after the resize. Bad idea, and fixed now. Thanks, though. :-)
