| @Sahrab: that's not really critique. how are the colors dull? which colors are dull? how is the animation weird? leaving 'drive-by' critiques that are vague and give no real information to the artist aren't very helpful. |

| This is beautiful. Really love the colors, the animation and this character design. This might look like it's over-animated, but what about moving the clothe between his legs a bit more especially in the attacking phase? Keep up the excellent work. |

| Great color, but as the Jalonso said, walking in high heels looks. |

thanks for the replies, here's an update. adjusted the feet in the walk anim.. also shifted a frame in the punch anim, and added more details to further frames. i'll have to experiment with making the cloth move more. |

Pretty cool! If you upload the frames or make some sort of sheet I could
analyze the animation for you. Is this rotoscoped by any chance?

thanks :) it's not rotoscoped, you can see some of the process explained here: www.alexhw.com I'm not sure how to make a sprite sheet with photoshop, i really ought to figure that out if I keep add more animations x_x |

| It's quite cool except the air somersault. He bends way too much than he should. I just googled it and the http://www.wikihow.com/Perform-a-Somersault - first link shows quite an artistic one. |

Photoshop itself doesn't have a sprite sheet extractor, there are free addons you can google though. P.S post some of those lovely environments you have on your site |

I kind of agree with Gecimen. It doesn't quite look natural, he looks almost like Sonic the Hedgehog when he jumps. I would extend his body a bit more. Though it might look better when he's actually moving across the screen, rather than spinning in mid-air. I also have a bit of a problem with his uppercut punch. I know you're exaggerating it for the sake of a dynamic animation, but right now his punch has a range of five inches. He's basically just punching straight upwards, and wouldn't hit anyone unless they were standing directly nose-to-nose. Not really a mistake, but just... something to consider. |
