Animation Here We Come

Ok so I've been having massive problems getting the legs to work and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I'm no novice when it comes to modelling and setting up characters but this design was baffling me. After much trial and error...along with banging my head on my desk...I realised the standard human pose wasn't going to work for the chibis. I went and redesigned the whole leg system including mesh and rigging. Once remodelled with a more curved crouching stance I found it worked!

Here's a slow animation test I was working on to make sure nothing major was busted....keep in mind the mesh isn't fully weighted yet but for how it is now I think it's great!
