One oft neglected detail in animation is that people *sway* as they walk.

The swaying motion is what gives a slight organic feel to people in reality,
but cartoonists rately have the need to make them "that real".

With the advent of such detailed 3D rendering such as this,
the uncanny valley becomes an issue...
mainly deciding which side you wish to stand on.

Regardless, people will note things to be "Too Real" or "Not Real Enough",
as the dead center is an elucive phantom for now.

The detailed musculature leans toward realism
while the comical mask and feet pull it back toward fantasy...

It really is very well done!

Thank you very much, man! I'm not too experience with animating walk cycles just yet, and if you look at this guy's walk over on Sketchfab you can see that there are definitely a few issues with it. I'm mostly working on getting my rigging script perfected for now, but once it's done, I'll have another crack at animating my characters and hopefully I'll be able to incorporate these concepts into their animation with time.

If you want to try for sway,
I find this a good reference;

Otherwise, just listen to your muse~!
