I agree with Frenzy its a bit short, you could extend it to 1min and show some break downs or different angles, slower or faster?
The bag clips when the goblin runs.
The run and sit are pretty quick for such a rounded weighed down model.
maybe a touch too much up and down head motion on the run.
Vimeo is great, .mov is better for review. youtube vids can be saved and converted to mov vimeo can't, but it looks nicer... but .mov for serious review, it helps to have a frame counter too.
There are some pops a in the thin stalker creatures legs they kind of break the silent stealthy approach he has going, just a tiny bit.
Overall, cool stuff, I would love to see it broken down a bit and definitely want to see more!
And I agree it's a bit short, I am not sure why you have the water buffalo in the reel if we only get to see it for less then a couple seconds. I like the sense of wait and life in everything else. The skinny monster is my current favorite. I would add something else to the chicken if you want to put it in a reel. Just my opinion though. I like it so far!
I agree that it´s may be a bit short, i´m going to do one with 1 minute or something. Sometimes it´s not easy to pick your best animation because some are a bit older and lack of knowledge/time/whatever.
@Vig:
Thank you very much! The stalker walk is jittery in some sense, but i coudln´t figure out why, i´m going to check the scene again. I wanted to made the video as entertaining as possible, but maybe i just tried it to hard, some other angles should do the trick. I agree with the goblin, the bags are not that well timed, either i do the sec. animation and other timing again or i skip it.
@ Nightroad:
Damnit, my cover has been compromised! No, wait a moment.
Thats my name i guess, but i´ve never heard that it has supervillan-qualities. There is a transformer which is called Ultra-Magnus, a Nes-game which was only shipped in japan for good reason features Ultramagnus. I totally agree with the buffalo, i should show some cycles or skip the animation. With the chicken i wanted to show that i´m aware of diffrent styles of animation, but it´s pobably not the best animation, i will take this into account when i do a longer reel.
You can download a *.mov from vimeo, howwever you need to register before you can do that, lame. Here is a mov:

I´m creating a longer version when i´ve got some time. Thanks for all feedback
i like the lizzard animation on your vimeoaccount too, very nice
i promise to give the cow more time
@Neox
Thanks buddy, i want to make more stuff with the lizzard because i´m happy with the rig and the model (i need to retopo the highpoly sometime) Maybe i´ll make him drunk and give him a sombrero or something similar stupid, we´ll see
