I like the fluid animation but maybe something with more character ("oomph") he just seems like its scooting along without a care in the world. #Tongue

Move faster! FASTER!
But I like... except the legs don't seem to move well enough - it doesn't seem to be able to stand well if shot in legs.

His armsare a little too big compared to his legs. You should shorten thm or ake them thinner.

See the master at work, people!

Good stuff, looks like it could be one of those creatures from obscure portal worlds, habiting your own familiar neighborhood in your dreams.

He can't help how he feels, and he feels happy! But yes you're right, it's not exactly instilling terror.

The legs are more flexible than they seem.

I originally had it based off the HL2 Strider animation, I didn't like it whereas I like the current anim.

Nice I like it, though a bit more fluid animation would be good, specially if you could make the "turrets" move a bit more, while standing and walking; maybe looking to the sides

Though I would agree that the walking animation should be better. However it's quite difficult to have the 3 legs moving at different times, since the sprites would move at a constant speed. I tried to do something like that long ago, and found several selection and box problems.

Well this is the animation I had for moving all seperately, obviously it needs movement on its head but I haven't animated it yet.

It looks like it's wounded or something. I like the version where it moves both front legs at the same time...

You would have problems when using that animation ingame, since it stops while walking, however the units always move at a constant speed (discarding acceleration and deceleration's tags). To fix that it would be possible to move the unit back in the shp, so you might make it look like it stops, however that would cause selection problems #Tongue

.
Anyways I agree with Donut #Tongue

I took that into mind, the head / turret is always at the same position so the box would always be around it.

it complete the walk cycle it needs a slight bob up and down and a slight rotation to suggest the transfer of weight,same for the turrets as secondary animation.

the walk itself, maybe raise the feet higher as it passes. rotating the foot in an arc like path.
