I think it's looking really good. You might consider twisting the hips a teeny tiny bit to give the knees more room to work with. That might smooth out your knee motion a bit, although I don't think it's a problem at all. He is, afterall, wearing rigid armor pieces that will bounce and jitter around when he walks.

Gonna have to detatch the darn thing anyway as the local rotation axis on the left arm is completly screwed... I hate doing the troubleshooting bit user added image
