@neota Thx, yes the hairs needs to move a bit more. About the movements, I've really tried my best but you know sometime the character looks too weird in too "emphasis moves" so I've just put the basilar moves for give an idea of the movement, anyway I will try to improve it!
@chanfan Thx, but does "jerky" mean what? sorry i don't know english that well, i'm italian, and anyway yes, I've done my works like that...I think is kinda crazy draw from the start at everyframe the image, your eyes will bloody explode at the third frame @_@ anyway I will try to improve making some little differencies to every frame.
@InfernoMan.EXE thx a lot, but why add more frames? It will be slow as hell that way, and just like PandaPlanet have noticed, it maybe needs more speed, about the combo It will be more longer with the experience level of the character, this is just the first one, and probably the kick attack will be totally deleted or a bit changed ^_^
I'm into martial arts and from what I've learnt and seen so far I'd say your attacks are to slow and as Neota & Chan sed: Too stiff, static and jerky. It would be a huge improvement if you had a faster framerate. Also, the combo would seem more logic to me if he used his other leg for the final kick. Never the less I love the lineart and shading on your character. Keep it up
it seems to stop a lot and is very hard to make out, and hard to follow. make more frames when hes spinning so it acctually looks like he is. i had to look at the induvidual frames to tell what he was doing.
I think your animations are way too static and jerky! It looks like you drew one sprite and then you just made the entire animation by editing the first frame.. I think you should try to redraw everyframe from scratch! That will make the animation looking better, smoother, and not so static. (This crit goes for all of your posted Akihito animations)
The uppercut animation bothers me, its too stiff. I like the style, the other animations, You have the highlights moving well on the suit, try applying that to the hair (which looks somewhat stiff currently) Killing those stray white pixels would help too. The clothes' animation is perfect.
