"Hi this is Cable for Expert Village. We have inked all our frames and after we recapture all our inked frames we can see the finished product. This is all the result of picking up of a character, breaking down the walk mechanics, even shooting reference, drawing some rough rough keys, cleaning up those keys into rough frames with leg positions and arm positions, cleaning up those rough keys and adding in betweens and then cleaning those up even more and inking them to get our final walk cycle. This walk cycle, although really nice on it's own, and you don't really need a background, but walk cycles can be used for efficiency in that you can recycle the frames and place this character on a background that moves behind it and therefore it looks like the character is moving forward. I hope you've enjoyed working on your walk cycle. Good luck."
