aww so cute! why is it so big? x1 size is fine. Really cute, though, keep it up!
Hey, it could be a karate chop if you want! Haha..
But you gotta admit the animation is smoother this time around, and at least his body isn't so stationary as well.
Well... actually, I think this might be slightly worse than before. And I don't mean to shatter your confidence, because this was pretty brilliant as it was. But because the boxing glove is just moving down, it might be taken as a downward karate chop. I was about to say that before, but the illusion worked better while the body was at the same level. Now that you have him crouching down, it definitely makes it look like he's just smashing his fist downwards, knocking someone on the top of their head :)
I might be wrong about this, but I do think it would be better with a lateral twist of the body. If I'm wrong, I'll never comment on your pixelart again :)
And.. updated!
Although he doesn't exactly "twist" his hips he does crouch a bit foward to emphasize the stronger, right-handed punch.
Thanks for commenting!
I see what you mean. Yeah, the 3rd punch was supposed to be stronger, thus the range. But if that's true, he should have some body movement, shouldn't he? I'm fighting my own laziness and lack of self confidence, but some slight adjustments to make the animation more lively sounds doable.
I've got some stuff to do. :)
I'm loving this. I rarely comment on such tiny pixelart, but this really caught my eye. I guess one thing I'm wondering about is why the right cross appears to have longer range. Because in real life, the range comes from turning your hips. Seeing this for the first time, I instantly recognised he was doing. But it might be even better if he shifts his body a bit as he throws the third punch.
By the way, I love the blurry movement from the third punch.
Just to make it more visible I suppose, haha..
Thanks much. :)
