I've been watching the progress of your walk cycle men for a while, they
are getting better and better keep up the work, this one is really quite
good! The one of the left looks like he has buck teeth hehe :)

One thing I notice is that the men have identical bodies. Unless
they're clones--and you need to sell them as clones when you use them--
the effect is unnatural.
If you can wing it, having some way to make them slightly taller/shorter
or slimmer/fatter will offset the feeling of sameness to a great deal.
If you can have differing proportions for different parts of the body--
one guy with a big chest, and another with more even propotions--
will do even more to make things look natural.
The last and hardest is making the faces different. Texturing will
only take you so far, so a way to change facial features will help here
as well.
Regards,
John

I simply removed one of the 20-odd teeth from his mouth. This improvement
was simply to make a more complicated and elegant the texturing. (Aside
from the teeth, eyebrows, moustache, and eyes & goggles, it's all one blob.
) I'm just using the object pattern to make gloves and eye-holes.
Previous versions (of a few years ago), I'd have to make a character with a
"shirt" by having two blobs, one "naked" and one with slightly lower
threshold but a shirt color and CGG-cut holes for the head.
I'm considering also adding a belt, a colored color, maybe even someday some
"realistic" clothing patterns, like a jacket and tie.

Looks like the character on the (viewer's) left not has webbed armpits,
at nearly the end of the animation.
I like the missing tooth -- but you forgot to give him a hockey stick!
