Personality Walk_Refining

Im begining to take my animation out of blocking and starting to smooth it out.  My mentor gave me alot of great tips on my blocking to help give the walk more weight.  This seems to be the hardest part of character animation so far...to make the animation smooth but not floaty.  I have just began refining, here's where Im at.

Character Design; ChubbyNerd

Im still trying to keep up on modeling, and designing, while Im studying animation.  Here's a character design I've been working on; He doesnt have a name yet, but he's a timid chubby guy..the type of character that thinks about the "cool thing to say," but never conjures up enough courage to actually say it, ha. Generally I like his shape right now...I wanted him to have short stalky legs, but perhaps they are too short right now.
