Blocking Update

So the rough blocking is all in now its time to get some others to take a look and get some feed back.

So I'm happy enough with this rough blocking on the first guy. By rough I mean none of the detail in the poses are done and a lot of it is funky in 3d space.

Taking a break for a bit here thought I'd upload my progress. I'd guess its about an hour of actual animation work and the rest of the day has been spent messing around trying to get maya setup the way I like it :P
