Making a man walk

The  game is progressing and we need some basic things added. So what's more basic than walking? 
I needed to ensure a man could walk left and right after little malator.

But how could one make a realistic walk?

So I went to animation basics on walk cycles. What can I say, that saved my life.  It was very easy and satisfying to see my drawing taking action. I only needed to be sure the hips and head were moving up and down to make everything realistic and voilá!

Now we need to make malator faster tho, poor little thing can't outrun the boss. His little legs aren't helping.

Unfortunately, I needed to make some adjustments on the standing sprite, since the anatomy changed a little as the animation ended.
