This is an improved version of my Axe wielding warrior ( www.pixeljoint.com/pixelart/66873.htm ) for a game I'm making. :)

[EDIT] Added a lighter skin colour (thanks Imagician) and given the axes a face lift. :)

good job with the extra skin color. i would have gone for smaller specular highlights, but this way it looks good, too :)

as for the upper body movement: can't tell what went wrong as long as you don't show what you tried ;) maybe post some link? all I can say is that the upper body/chest should follow the arm, so if the right arm comes front, the right side of the chest turns front and so on... I guess. maybe try to find some youtube clips on it ;)

Very nice changes, I look forward to see this at least in a mockup!

Thanks for the feedback guys! :D

@Imagician:  I've added the lighter skin colour and looks a lot better and less flat. Also had a go at rotating the upper body as you surggested but no matter what I tried it just didn't look right, any surggestions?

@failureboy:  I agree with you, so I made the axe head a little wider so more of the axe head is showing, so hopefully makes it less underwhelming. :)

@Super17:  The pics helped and should look right now. :)

@ Mathias:  I'd ask him to put his pants on but he'd most likely chop me into tiny little pieces. :P

@sasuke91 I'm out of pixel polish. :D

Very nice, reminds me of "Gods" a little bit. Speaking of which, I would maybe add one more light skin color on top, to make it a little more shiny, not only because of the Bitmap Brothers touch, it's just that it's a bit dull at the moment (for the behind limbs you can use the bright skin color you already have).

a second more pressing concern is that I would let the upper body turn a bit to each side as he moves the arms front.

 The palette, artwork, and animation are better than the earlier version.  However I agree that the axe in the right hand is too miniscule due to the angle - I actually prefer the wider stance of the original.  I think it would look better as a walking animation if you moved that hand out more (to show off the axe).

Btw the static shot is great and I gave this a 4/5.

Very nice animation! I just would rework the axes a little bit. I think the shaft is too thin or the axe head should be attached in another way. Two pictures to make this clear:

Nice!

For the walk cycle, the axe in his right hand looks a bit underwhelming. Maybe do a thicker axe head?


user
Mathias (Level 7 Junk) @ 12/8/2011 00:58

Alright, nice improvement.

Honestly though, could you imagine going into battle, grabbing yer axes, donning that helm . . . but forgetting ya pants!?

Give the boy some ringmail, mang. Some ringmail boxers. At least.

-OR-

Just make your character female.
