Pixel Joint Forum: Various Sprite Work

Message

   Hey guys!  SR here;  anyway here's a series of running cycles from multiple directions.  I'm very happy with how the east/west and south running cycles turned out, but the north one looks like complete crap.  It's the legs mostly.  I don't know how to go about it;  I've been playing around with it for awhile now.  It looks like he's stomping as opposed to be as smooth as I would like it to have been.
Well, Cheers!  And thanks for checking this out.

	Uhm, thanks. Not sure what you mean about the head though. Working on the North running animation at the moment. I think I figured out the the kink in the system. Edited by Sonic_Reaper

	New update up for the North Running. The legs did not match up with the other animations, that's why it looked a little off. Looks a bit better now. Added body rotation as well :) Heh but now I am seeing some problems with the arms and shading consistency :p gets back to work I am getting paid to make these, so any small critiques are greatly appreciated.

	on the punching i think his right arm needs to move more, also the leg goes quite far forward (even though it is supposed to be dramatic)

	hte animations etc are good, but the dark skin colour is nagging, its really to dark, makes it look more like he has a beard, then looking like shadows
