Hey Kurt - after you posted on my knight I realized I'd checked out your thread and never posted. Guess I can't compain too much when I don't get as much feedback as I want...
Great sequence - there's a really good feeling of weight and impact. As for the spinning back kick it's not that the foot doesn't touch down... it's something with the timing/balance - maybe if there was a bit more gather and release...
The other thing that I thought is it seems that after completing the kick and before bowing he should have his guard up. It seems a little too noncholant to just bow without guarding after this aggressive flurry of kicks.
know I'm a bit late on this one - are you still working on it?
I'm a martial arts practicioner (kenpo karate) and fan - I hope to see more of this animation.
Check out the subsurfacescattering on my tongue...
