Well I finally got a chance to sit down and work on this over the weekend. This is my first go at a run cycle for this character. I originally had him run upright, but I thought it made him too humanoid. I figured making him somewhat run on all fours would make him look more like a wild beast.
I still have some tweaks that I want to make to him but I figured I would show what I have now and see if I could some crits before I move forward.
Next I need to work on the wings for this guy, but I don't want to start on those until I know that the main body is working smoothly. Words of wisdom are always appreciated so let me know what you guys think.
Alright here is an updated version of the run. I tweaked a few more things on the body and started roughing out the wings a bit. Let me know what you guys think.
I agree with Evanescfan, it does sort of feel like there's a slight pop right before the hand slam, like it's missing literally one frame lol.
The arms holding the bone object is reading quite poppy, it seems to speed up dramatically at one point when going backwards. Just ease it out a wee bit more and it should read better, it does look like he's using the object to pull himself forward so that's good.
Well I haven't had nearly as much time to work on this contest as I had originally thought, but I was able to get a bit more done on the run this weekend and get the blocking for the attack started. Let me know what you guys think.

Maybe accentuate a little more the weight ( even if it's already cool )
