As usual, great work... Maybe the ears should flop around a bit?

Thanks sbtamu, Yes, I agree. Most of Pauls and others opinions are correct allthough I'm not certain about Fracturedays comment about the fog. This is set on another planet, maybe fog is blueish there! I'll see if I can soften it a bit and perhaps increase the transparency a tad. One can go on and o...

Thank's for the feedback. I really appreciate your comments and recommendations. As everyone knows, it is hard to work in isolation and also mantain a level of objectivity. I find this forum an invaluable resource! So thank you all, and I'll continue to try to improve ( what I describe as) My pathet...

Hello, I've done another test. I am still wrestling with the character design.
This sequence has a classic Bug Eyed Monster. This shot is brief, 8 Sec's.
Please take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks.

Ha Ha. Great! I had almost forgotten that song.

I've had a little re-think about this . Perhaps it is really just a matter of delaying the movement of the upperbody slightly so that the hips start to move first , then the leg, then the upper body. I don't know , I just feel that this will be in keeping with this type of character. So it may not r...

Yes, you could use translate in the thigh bones to a degree. But, an extra bone in the hips may help with this as well. This is probably just being fussy. What you have done is fine. Walk cycles aren't the easiest things to do. Putting the character against a background will really show how well it ...

That's not bad at all . If the hips led the motion, that could have helped. The hair popped, and may be better if it bounced as a secondary motion. I don't think you are wasting your time.

Hey thanks everyone. Now that's the sort of criticism I needed. It is really encouraging to get this sort of feedback and I am presently going over the sequence and making adjustments based on your comments. Thanks so much for your detailed analysis Paul, neeters and Amiga! You guy aren't NAFF at al...

Thanks jahnocli, Yeh I dont really know if its me or the Papagayo, maybe my mouth shapes are a little distorted, anyway I'll try to adjust that.

This is one of my tests for the lead character. I've changed the title to Nebula 9, I thought the last one was a bit naff!.. Come to think of it, this title is pretty naff as well. Oh well, criticism is welcome. Be brutal! I think I am probably barking up the wrong tree with my design and technique ...

Thanks selgin. I wish I could push myself a lot further!
By the way I am greatly impressed by all of your work. Fantastic!

I've been away. Thanks.

Ok this is what I'm trying to show....

Hey it works, thanks a lot sbtamu! But I think what you have done is better, more subtle.

Yeh, that's kind of like it!...Hey maybe you can advise me on this , I,ve been trying to link an image to this post but have been unsuccessful. How is it done?
