I was too dumb to find DPFilms models with proper rigging in place of the Valve biped. Peh :/
Some lazy posing, was practicing on making it look like the ragdolls are running. (The two to the right in this picture.)

Use SDof bro. But the posing is very good.

Just a tip for running posing: take momentum into account, and try not to exaggerate leg movements.
When running you will naturally have your hips twist in the direction of your frontmost leg, and due to the natural motions of your arms, the torso will typically twist in the opposite direction, meaning that if your left leg is first, then your right shoulder will be forward rather than your left.
For the leg movements, unless someone is sprinting (and even then you won't normally have your legs up as far as the guy on the far right), the legs tend to be low towards the ground, and the back leg in particular (especially in a sprint) actually tends to stay mostly straight after pushing into the floor until it bends to move into the front leg position, as in such:

Normal running is essentially getting a balance between the posture seen in walking and sprinting. It can be tough to make it believable and look like it's actually in motion, but once you get it down, it looks p. good. I wish I had a better ref image, but I have hardly actually took any pics of people sprinting or running, and those that do have them tend to have them hidden from complete view or whatever.
You could also look at the running animations from various games to assist with this, here's one pic:

So aye there you go. For the most believable running poses try to keep the legs closer to the ground unless they're passing under the hips (but in a cartoony run, of course, completely disregard this).

Posing looks good, but the angle could use some work. Also, no on the bloom and toytown.

Egh, shitty textures on the map for some reason.

Think I'm gonna write something based on this and we'll see where it goes.
Instead of making the same mistakes as so many others, I have decided to post here until people tell me my uploads are "thread worthy." Feel free to critique and comment, any suggestions you have to help me improve my skills are welcome. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eaVBR.jpg[/IMG]
