I am really stuck on this one.

Can anyone show me how to animate short stubby legs into a running cycle?

I've been trying to stufy how dan paladin does it.

just make a quick storyboard-type sketch of his run-cycle, and post it as a animated gif. thanks.

You wouldn't drink dirty water, So why would you drink rotten milk? Oh, you wouldn't? in that case...

How about you experiment with different things and look around on the internet instead of asking someone to do it for you?

Just a thought..

This is part of an experiment i'm doing. and by the way i'm not asking someone do it for me, I'm asking them to guide me and help me.

Whenever I can't think of how to do a walk cycle, I just think of Cactaur!
Move his legs into the "Cactaur" position, and then back to stand.

With little characters like that, the walking movement is less of a walk, and more of a gallop.

Now animate it yourself.

your frame rate was too high for that cycle, make each frame of his walk two frames instead of one to correct that problem, or just lower the fps.

I did it! Look at this and tell me what you think.

p.s. It will be in a higher frame rate.

nice all you need to do is just make his head bob up and down a bit more and it would be perfect
