Still or animated.

Nice image, auriel.
I was playing around and did my first attempt at a Synfig walk cycle. The character is weird if not quite monstrous, but here it is in case I don’t get to try a proper entry:

Excellent drawing auriel!
Although I won’t be in your body when animate it! (due to its big amount of details!)
Welcome to synfig forum! forward to see more drawings and animation from you.
Please [contact](http://synfig.org/Communication) us if you need help with the animation tasks and we gladly respond (if we can 😉)

Hi Matt!
good walk cycle. Looks quite fine!. Would it be possible to share here the sifz file? You can post sifz files using the forum host with a limited size.
Also I hope you don’t mind if I insert a flash link of your animation. It would help to watch your animation without loosing the focus on the forum:

Wow, great job auriel, you have patience with details 🙂 (and the synfig shield is nice 😃)
Pixelgeek: didn’t you eat too much spaghetti lately? 🙂
muhkayoh: Nice anim, I like the walking eyeball idea. (makes me think of The Residents)
Ok, here’s mine, cute and stupid monster

Superb - One of the recommendations for genete’s video on Youtube is
[uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8qae11\_-M&NR=1](http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4v8qae11_-M&NR=1)
Which is actually the song I was thinking of that gave me the idea for the competition…

Hehe, I really like the new background on Genete’s entry, compared to the black & white from his draft 🙂 Now this is where you see some people love details, because I know that on my side, I would have added only a blue gradient, not so many (great) details 🙂
Factor, this is excellent 🙂 It’s a still image but it does have a sense of motion 😃

I will have to try an animation later , lots of ducks to deal
with on this one. will do a more low-poly method next time.
