Pixel Joint Forum: Running birdcharacter thing

Message

   Alright, so this is my first ever sprite animation thing. My first post too!

Tell me what I've done wrong.

How do I get better?

What should I think about?

I have two versions, it's still very rough:

and sprites:

	It could use a little more vertical up/down movement. Typically when the leg is straight down, you are higher than you are when you are landing on a heel. I think -_-;;

	If you run without your head going up and down, I'd almost get the impression you were trying to run like a ninja. Unfortunately, yes, you'll have to re-sprite if you want to achieve a more realistic animation. In your case, your contact position also seems to be your passing point.. which may be the reason why your legs are straight on a contact.
