I'm basically linking the animation I already uploaded to pixeljoint, but one of the comments said I should post it here for more feedback, so that's what I'm doing.




There we go.
I'm happy enough with the movement, though I'm thinking about making another two frames, to a total of ten frames, because this is for an adventure game and should look smooth.
What I need help with are the colours. They are rather simple here, and that'd do, but then I think they are too simple, or the composition is kinda whack. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Maestro.

Oh, one more thing, I'm not working on this piece at the moment, I decided to get all the characters and animations done first so our coder can start doing his thing, and I wanna go over it later and perfect it. Well, improve it at least :P

Thanks for commenting!

You're right, thanks.
I refrained from doing that at  first because he is catching the keyboard, but it should go a little farther back.

Mhm, did you resize the anim when looking at it?

Ah, I see it. Yea.
The drag is good, because this guy is an Internet addict. A gamer who hasn't seen the sunlight for seven months, you get the idea. The rapidly bringing the leg forward is exactly where I would add another frame if need be. And apparently that is the case. About the elbow, mhm. I don't know. The hand flaps backwards, but that's because the elbow is sideways towards the body, if you get what I mean. I kind of liked it, d'you really think I should change it?

Thanks a lot.

Ok, here are two characters that our Jan Key here will have to interact with. One of 'em doesn't have arms yet, and I'm not too happy about the actions of the other guy, but they are temporary, more kinda slapped together to have something to put up here.



They are already telling a little story.

And I'm working on the walkanim of Jan, I'm using two more frames and it's a bit hard, or will take some time at least.

C&C appreciated!


Edit: I'm noticing more and more that I'll have to get Jan an a little more complex shading.

Oh my god. I just love the design of that thin guy. Perfect!

But that fat guy reminds me a bit of Hitler, only in a fat form...

Maybe make his legs a bit shorter and like more dissapeared under his body, uhmm. Ah well, maybe it doesn't need that, legs are ok. Maybe its the big head what gives a bit wrong effect, maybe its too big. And something is wrong with the nose, its a bit flat and maybe it should be rounder to give room for mustache.

 

Very retro style indeed. Maybe I even have to re-make my graphics because right now I seem to be a little obsessed in old DOTT style :D

Whoa, thanks for editing, I'll definitely looking into that! Man, so awesome, you got the face just like I wanted it to be.

Too bad I saw this too late, because I already started a little animation:


But as you prolly noticed, I don't have a clue about AA, so you're really helping me a lot. I liked the buttons on the shirt though :( :P

np :D, yah the hat is perfect now i think, i fixed your AA'ing and tried to go what you where thinking of the face, worked on the pants, should just be pure black instead of having some blue in there, it's kinda random, anyways i just fixed it up

yah too bad it was too late and you already make the animation, also on the guy with the keyboard, that is rad i love everything about it! you gotta awsome style, keep working on this!

sweet!
