Injured walkcycle challenge W.I.P pt. 2 - Pete

All the crit on my previous w.i.p actually really help me! Thanks guys! Here's take two of my walkcycle. I straighten the left arm and shifted his pelvis more towards that side. Hopefully this will show that he is carrying some weight on his left side. What do you guys think? Also straighten up his poster so that he doesn't look like he's crouching like justin mentioned. Please continue to rip this apart! cause it dose really help me!

To watch it looped go here

look i'm a contributer contributing!

Alright, so after a challenging night of using proxies to get passed the great fire wall of China, some squinty at my laptop SINGLE monitor in Maya, and using a mouse whose middle button always scrolls by accident, i was finally able to get this ONE IMAGE out of my night.  This is a little hint as to what my character will be going through.  Am i sadistic? I shall do some blocking in the coming days.  GUAHAHAHAHA.

Injured walkcycle challenge W.I.P - Pete

Ok guys! I am gonna go ahead and start this challenge off. Hopefully this will motive you guys to get started.... So here is what i have so far. Still a work in progress but feel free to give me feed back! I want to give the arm holding the gun more weight and show it dragging more on the ground. Im not sure how i can do that... any advice?

Scenario is simple, a solder dude that got shot in the gut OR just a major case of diarrhea...pepto anyone? LOL
