For the revision for Kizmens walk cycle, I’ve decided to add his grey color scheme, with a hint of cyan to avoid keeping his design look too plain. Though for the most part, I wanted to keep his design simple, in order to avoid any complications with recreating.

Walk Cycle
This is the first draft of Kizmens walk cycle. At first, I was unsure since his movements seemed too staggered but considering he’s a robot, I don’t think it seems too out of place.
Storyboard Walk Cycle
In my storyboard, Kizman is seen walking down the city streets to conduct his daily patrol. Suddenly two civilians, who are part of the group of people who dislike his existence, pass by him. They proceed to curse him out before leaving him alone. At first, he seems to be unfazed. Until they are out of his sight. Kizman soon stops to collect his thought, dropping his composure, until a sudden cry for help is heard off-screen.
Character Design
Kizman is a robot that was originally designed to work alongside law enforcement. The first of his design, he was created based on the characteristics of wildlife itself. Having ears of a rabbit to help locate an issue no matter how far it was, having the legs of a kangaroo to help travel said distance, as well as having tendons based on ostriches– making them known to have incredible speed. Although he may seem intimidating, he is a kindhearted being with good communication skills to provide peace to those around him. Although he is often seen as a hero not everyone sees him the same way.
Flour Sack Assignment
One thing this assignment has taught me is that in order to have an animation go smoothly, one should study body language until it becomes memorized. That way, you have the overall idea as to how something should move and react in certain situations.
