looking good so far... but even if his arms are strong enough to hold his body up in that position I'd imagine he'd tip backwards.

[Sammy]

yea.. I would just make sure that he leans forward to counter balance himself... or the shoes could be bigger..

This issue with balance will cause him to have great animation.. shifting his weight as he walks

good stuff

[melmann]

Thanks a bunch guys! Yeah theres all kinds of issues that I'll have to address with the weight. I'll probably make his shoes larger at the base and go with the lean as suggested. I just didnt want him to just walk on his hands. I felt it would give him a bit of cartoony/humorous characteristic.
Again thanks guys!
Peece,
Mel
