	An idea, Things I need to fix, is the thickness of the nine for one. Also changing colors, but this is only an WIP. The idea is about a ball of a mysterious goop that bounces and it is alive. It will have a face and it will be crying in this animation. Edited by Bryroz - 12 August 2013 at 11:46am

	First time making an animation, first time entering a contest. Probably won't even submit this, but why not post it in the challenge thread - suggestions are welcome.

	The way he's moving around seems kind of comical to me, so if you made him spin around and stumble a lot before finally falling down might take the animation further. (For example, if his arms are flailing down by his sides like heavy noodles.)

	What great timing! I have to do a death animation for my game anyway! This is for when he gets crushed by a box, still needs smoothed out a little bit. edit: oh wait i read the description wrong, by already existing character it means design not the actual pixels... I thought it seemed weird that it allowed you to use something made before the challenge... Oh well Edited by Adcrusher - 12 August 2013 at 8:44pm

	@Adcrusher, Lets have the challenge manager of the week verify your point because I read it that in the case you show it would be allowed as the challenge is the death frames and you are making those from scratch from 'an already existing' sprite.

	All work for the challenge should be done during the week - so, no characters you've already been working on.

	Well that's answers that. Concentrate on the death animation frames and FX and make a 'dummy' sprite of similar shape to your project then after the challenge use it to complete the bot death ani. Killing 2 birds with one stone ;)

	Heh, I don't plan any blood and I need lots of colors to achieve what I want. Смерть очень сложное и философское понятие ;)

	This funny little guy is gonna die this week [UPDATE] Here are very rude keyframes. I'll add more inbetweens and manage the scythe later. Aso there will be some special effect I am saving 10 colors for. [/UPDATE] Edited by Muxaun - 15 August 2013 at 7:31am

[/UPDATE] When the skull starts to fly up, it seems strange. I think you should make the skull fly up higher and quicker (especially at the end, it's rotating much slower than at the beginning). I guess the pacing is weirdish now, so when it first started to fly up, it's like: "What's going on...? Oh, it's flying up." Other than that, I like the concept and shading.

Tried to fix head flying issue. Also added more inbetweens. I am kinda satisfied with the animation as it is now. Now to polish every single frame. Added some special effects: I want to add more butterflies and maybe tropical birds. I have 3 more colors to apply some lighting inside the skull. but maybe i will stick to simple animation - without rainbows etc. [UPDATE] need more butterflies.

It seems really unique like that.

	Hi there! This is my first post in this forum. This is a death animation from the new game we are making, OKHLOS. It's about an angry mob in the ancient greece, fighting against mythological monsters and making some mess. You will have a lot of mythological heroes in your mob. This is Leonidas, from the game. Any feedback is welcome! Also, sorry for the spelling, i'm from Argentina.
