It walks!

I started this walk thinking I was going to make him tiptoe away in a frightened manner. But as is so often the case when I do a walk cycle, I forget the main point of it and get caught up in just getting him from one side to the other in a somewhat appealing way. As you can see, he doesn't look very scared, in fact, he looks pretty confident. Next time I need to remember that his attitude is the most important information to convey. For a tiptoe I think I should keep him hunched over and not have his body turn from side to side so much.

hmm...for a tip-toe i would say keep his actions smaller and not as broad as this one. this is a rather peppy walk. a more cartoony tip-toe could have very limited body action with tiny, rapid legs.
or, you could give him lengthy, slower strides with more purpose.

otherwise it looks great!
