The Robo Shuffle Part 1

The Robot does the Shuffle. Or at least I'm working to make it look like he is. Or is he a she? Meh.

Edit 12/14/2014 - Made changes to the scene and the animation to give it more "pop." I also went ahead and paid for a monthly premium on the site I use to make the gifs so they will be higher quality.

To add to what Cairos said, try shifting his weight a little more so that he looks more bouncy. Right now his pelvis is almost stationary, which adds to the feeling that he is walking instead of shuffling. A little springiness might help get his groove on. Have you been using references while animating? Try looking at a few different ones. Even though you said he's shuffling, looking at Psy's "Gangnam Style" dance might help too, since they're pretty similar.

ShadyDingo responds:

I've made some changed that, hopefully, make it work more than it did before. It may take awhile for the gif to register :) Thanks for the feedback and critique by the way :) It helps a TON! :)

At first I thought this was a walk cycle until I read the title.
Perhaps if you were to place something stationary in the scene like a boombox.
This will help the viewer understand more quickly that the character is dancing.

ShadyDingo responds:

Definitely, I'll definitely set up something like an environment and see if I can update the gif ;)
