Going to give this a shot, should be lots of fun.

Hey everyone, finally got some time to get cracking on this. The character I'm going to be animating is a time knight.

I want to try and give her an arrogant kind of walk, like she knows shes going to beat everything and cant be bothered by them. And for the ult attack im thinking some kind of jump slam that would be like an AoE stun or slow.

Started getting into the walk a bit last night. basically just got the generic walk outline here, I need to go in and give it more personality(and animate the arms and head). Planning on hitting this pretty hard this weekend.

Here's another update on the walk, i think its playing a bit faster as a gif though.

got another update on the walk

let me know if you guys think.

if you want to keep her left hand up, i would try to do a little more with it. maybe open all of her fingers up then make a fist. something subtle like that could go a long way.

I also feel the hand go swing in contrary to the hips
looking good though

I like your progress on the walk, but I can't picture her moving this slow in game. Most characters have a speed walk / jog for gameplay reasons.

I've got the same feedback as the other guys. Also, it seems like she's looking at her hand instead of looking forward.

E_ensey · Nov 2014

Thanks for the feedback guys. She is supposed to be looking at her hand, sort of a, I'm more worried about my nails rather then the enemy, sort of thing, but I don't know if its going to read that well. might just drop that arm to her side.

Evanescfan · Nov 2014

nails? oh then have her hand flipped 180 degrees and her fingers up high

OR

bend her fingers gradually (index highest point, pinky lowest curl, thumbs up)

E_ensey · Nov 2014

Ah, good point Evanescfan.

the hips feel a bit forced.
Check out the pop in the reference, it is pretty nice
