    Nice character modelling! It does look a bit like he’s falling backwards every time he takes a step though… kind of makes me feel wobbly looking at it.

      That’s just Ace leading with his gut! He’s got to counterbalance somehow.

      Funny, the thing that stands out to me is the stiff shoes. Maybe because I grew up on too much Don Martin 😉

      That exact thing is what made me think he walks like Larry Laffer.

    Still looking really good, Mark. I don’t think he looks wobbly, but I like how he’s looking a bit cocky and laid back at the same time.

    By the way, when I hover the cursor over this text field, it blackens out. Makes it a bit difficult to write comments. Any way to fix this?

    Very stiff shoes, are those standard space plumber issue?

    When do we get a fix for the black on black comments?

      I mentioned this earlier, but my comment is apparently still awaiting moderation…

      And where’s the +1 button? 😉

      The all-black comment field is an intelligence test one must pass in order to be worthy of posting 😉

      OK, the comments field should now be fixed. 🙂

    Could use a little more belly jiggle.

    Thanks everyone. Again this was just a test to break-in in some new 2D animation software I’m evaluating.

    Love the swagger 🙂

    That looks great! It’s a real change of pace from Roger’s fidgety, staccato way of walking. This guy’s got, for lack of a better word, swagger!

    (Will there be a special “timer’s broken! time to start headbanging!” mode, like with SQ1VGA? Just kidding. 😉 )

    (You know, if you leave Roger alone in SQ1VGA on a fast computer, his “idle” animation makes him look like a ghost in an Asian horror flick. Ah, never mind.)

    Am I the only one to whom this character reminds of Mr. Incredible from the Pixar’s animated movie “The Incredibles”?

    Probably just because of the gloves, though…

    That’s sweet looking animation cycle. I really love how Ace looks.

    Couple of suggestions:
    more fat wobble.
    Trademark BUTCRACK
    BIG Key Ring with them shaking as he walks

    Sounds:
    Keys jingling
    boots sloushing
    random belches and farts
