http://imageshack.us"> Temp colors, no shading - obviously. Just looking for some feedback on the animation before I spend the time to prettify it. I do realize I'm not making full use of the space, but I figure I may have characters with wings / tails / big hair and I want them all to be in scale. |

He looks like his righ leg is just kicking thin air, in the right on. His knee doesn't come up at all on the right one. It does on the left, but barely I might add. -------------

Ack, yes. And thanks. http://imageshack.us"> I also did a little "ready to fight" cycle, but I can't seem to get it to look good. I think it might just be a bad idea at this scale... http://imageshack.us"> |

I think ure ready to fight animation looks really good. your walk cycle will get there eventually. keep in mind that its really hard to make a good smooth walk cycle with only 4 frames. if you dont have anything holding you, then perhaps you should kick it up to 6 frames, and smooth the animation out a bit. (also, the red leg looks shorter on the walk cycle ;) ) Keep up the goodwork |

Thanks, Talvara. It looks better to me, too, now that I've taken a break from staring at it. I know it's never going to look smooth, but I think I can live with the frame rate. Maybe if I were more of a pixel artist... but I really just want to build a library of sprites so I can make games. The red leg is shorter in the side view because the viewing angle is supposed to be slightly downwards -- like the front view is, except it's not reading very well from the side. I'll have to work on that. In the meantime, here's a modified version of the front view: http://imageshack.us"> I'm still not quite happy with the head and shoulders.

Walking
towards (I somehow prefer first version) and "ready to fight" looking
great. Raise those heels from the ground and make legs go further back
on walking sideways? Could these be helpful? http://images.google.com/images?q=walking+animation - http://images.google.com/images?q=walking+animation |

The head going from side to side in v.2 of the front-facing walk is a little funny looking. Unfortunately, the head holding perfectly still looks a little funny looking, too -- moreso when animated forwards, while the side-to-side version looks a little better, at least to my eye. I've done a few more tweaks: http://imageshack.us"> And some shading: http://imageshack.us - http://imageshack.us - http://imageshack.us"> Hm. Not sure why I'm not getting any transparency out of Graphics Gale. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with this, especially since it was my first attempt at shading on a pixel scale, but critiques would be appreciated. |
