Pixel Joint Forum: Bunny Sprites

Message

   I'm going to be doing a fighting game, and Bunny (from my Duck and Bunny pictures) is going to be taking part (so is Duck, but I'm not that far yet).

Stance:

Walk:

The walk looks a little off to me, but I can't work out what it is.
Any suggestions or crits for this, or any of it in general?

 Cheers,
  Marq

	You're on the right track, don't give up. Note: this was taken from this thread. To get an effective run cycle, you must plan each leg movement before you jump into the animation. These are four frame animations so the feet must be in the four 'key' positions: The first two are called extremes. This is where the leg goes out the most. The next two are called contacts. This is where the foot impacts the ground, or is at it's highest point. So we have a kind of circle: 3 2 4 1 The numbers being the position of the leg. Thats it. All you need is one leg to start animating a run. Alternate positions. As in, when one leg is up, the other is down i.e. frames 2+4 go together. And of course, you can inbetweens or extra frames: 4 5 6 3 7 2 1 8 A great tutorial to help you further: http://www.manningkrull.com/pixel_art/tutorials/walking.asp Edited by BlackDragon - 16 March 2008 at 11:22am

	Yeah, I think maybe the off bit is because I only have frames for 1, 2 and 4 of the circle. Trouble is, as the leg size is quite small, it's quite difficult to accomodate that full motion, although I do have some ideas. Thanks
