While we're all waiting for Bassam to finish his fantastic Tutorial DVD, you may want to check out this walk cycle tutorial by Andrew West.

This tutorial will cover animating your humanoid characters to have a realistic walk. It won't cover any of the modeling or rigging aspects. However if you download the tutorial model, this is all done for you.

This tutorial isn't intended to be definitive, but it will hopefully teach you the basics of how to set up a simple but authentic looking walk cycle.

That's a nicely skinned character.
The walk cycle is nice too - but there should be some overlapping action in the arms.
Very nice! now I just need to give my character somewhere to walk to...
