thank you for watching : )

( edit: updated with a new, refined version... i dunnow if it is really better than the previous one, edited some pixels at the legs and breast physics, also the crown water drop )

> 20 hours (so far)
> photoshop elements, image ready
> 13 frames

my very first 'm.u.g.e.n' / fighting game - styled sprite (size and animation)
not quite done yet, but could use some helpful advice / critique from you pro's. ^^
( that's such a demanding work, making such a tall sprite ^^;
it takes no end, you could pixel on forever ! )

maybe, i'm not quite sure though... to me this is still a bit difficult to evaluate...

wow... you didn't even look at the original drawing for a single second, did you? ...
do you even know anything about the character...?
also it seems you have never seen big breasts in real life =_= oh well... i have, so...
congrats man, you see how i animated a tall sprite and that the breasts are big. for god's sake dude, what's your problem?
i requested professional critique on the pixel tecnique, NOT premature comments on the 'boobs', thanks for your time. (dear lord, some people...)

if anything, these breasts look and feel more like big sacks of water tied to the bottom of her neck, rather than actual saggy breasts flopping around.

now even if you'd wanted to pull the whole "anime styled" excuse on those, they are nowhere near being humanly posible to behave like that. there is no room for lungs on her chest, or robs or any kind of actual anatomy going on on that part of her body. also it seems that most of the animationw as done with simply switching the placement of the vodyparts rather than actually redrawing each part-something that shows on how the arms behave-. it shows even more that you had tremendous problems to animate or even understood or had any idea how to approach the concept of "loose" tits flaping around seeing you were forced to redraw them.

if anything, i'd rework those breasts and make a more subtle animation for them, otherwise they turn into an even more distracting focus for the viewer, to a point it gets extremely cheap and unnecesary, given how you do have a good linework and a proper understanding of shading and color choices. the whole character's desing would really benefit from it if you actually gave this a pair of normal sized boobs, or at least didn't make them look as if they were about to detach from her and start figthing on their own.

Sorry for not being helpful. The comment about the coloring and the character are both compliments, you did a great job on them! The rest is critique, but not really in a helpful way because I can not tell you how you should fix these things that I find awkward.

I hope that clears it up a bit :)

nice, but with so much movement in the legs, the boobs should move more, don't you think?

I don't quite understand what you are saying because it is really not helpful in any way - but I take it as a compliment I guess...


user
Hapiel (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 9/7/2011 02:41

Whoa this is weird! Your coloring style is pretty cool, and the character is nice too, but the boob bounce and the holes in her trousers and the yellow swinging thing make it really awkward!


user

I think her chest shape is pretty close to the original design http://nebelstern.deviantart.com/art/aquamaryann-stance-164295065 - although I know the animation can still be improved. I still hope to make the physics feel perfect and smoothly sometime soon >_< I need more experience and training so..! I try my best. Also there is indeed 1 or 2 pixels at the top of her breast / clothes, that need fixing in some frames : ) By the way, the sloppishly animated yellow thing is a vegetable: a Calabash.

The boobs look strangely floppy and misshapen, no offence. Especially the right one, I think it looks a little square at the top where the hem of the bra is. Other than that, the blue ball on the left looks more cube-ish than the other one and the golden balls at the back's swing animation is a little choppy.

Still, I like what you've done and i really like your style. Keep it up!

better now? : )

The shadow on her boobs jumps a little too high up at the end, but otherwise it's fine.
