Jenny Walk

First Attempt

Small example of Jenny's walk cycle. It also was a good chance to test out how the colours will work with the character. I wanted to create a shimmering effect, like Rhubarb and Custard. A nice traditional look but done in a digital medium. There was my first attempt but the footing was off also her pocket was missing. Plus her face moved to much. The second attempt was much cleaner and over all more appealing.

Second Attempt

It may also be apparent that her arms in both versions are moving the wrong way. This was something I didn't do on purpose. It simply looked right, when putting the arms the right way something seemed off. I couldn't explain it. I showed it to Peter Dodd and he said that the animation still works and should keep it the way it is. This makes me wonder whether I should put this in my show reel. I'm proud of it and it was a good test of the colouring method but will the fact the arms are wrong lose me getting work? I'll work on another walk cycle and decide if it's worth it when I edit the reel together.
