Run run run!

So I was kinda bored and wondering about my next project (geemc isn't dead...shoulders are a bitch to draw). So I decided to draw up a running animation...And well, here it is. Does it look alright?

Note: The crappy trees (thanks google) and the ground details aren't what should be critiqued here. I just wanna know if the running animation looks alright to you guys...And if it isn't, some help (however, all my other calls for help/advice goes ignored

so I won't be upset if I don't get any again)

I'd picture him leaning forward (Spine bent forward, that is) as he is running forward.

Yeah, I think masterchief doesn't run with his back straight.

What is he running from? Maybe add some hurdles?

Track chief.

I'm not critiquing the tree's, but theres a point in the animation where they skip, and then go the other way for a second. It makes it look like he's running backwards.

Other than that its Grrrrrreat.

Curses, I swear I removed that...But its probably more noticable coz I reduced the blurring and stuff (else things were getting a little hot on the laptop).

Other than the sword (stupid caboose

) does he look like hes running fine though? Coz I'll probably use this animation for when I need it.........................

I also noticed a point where his left foot is moving towards the front, and it stops moving, then moves forward again. It makes it look like he sticks his foot out, puts it on the floor, then lifts it and moves it forward again.

I think thats about it.

I was refering to as in Halo 3. You don't usually run with the sword because people can see you easier and end up shooting you first.

his arms and legs should move more. like the elbow actually moves the lower arm. From what i see the movement on the elbows and knees are very small. I think if you made them move better with the body, it would look better.

The motions aren't exaggerated enough. Look at the starry night trailer Scotty.

Oh, Make the Torso and Pelvic area move.

There great just the way they run is a tad pit odd.

Right leg probably shouldn't be going under the crotch piece.

Why is the light emitting from the sword casting a shadow?
