Hi, its not really pixel art cause im using a bit different method to animate but i wanted it to look like sprites, here are my recent anims, which version is better ? OR  ITs for my game, i already did some in the past, heres also some other characters i made using the same method:    I think thats it for now, dont want to spam it too much, i wanted to start new game with the bear and second one was my first design but i thought it didnt looked like polar bear that much facewise, i wanted kinda dumb silly looking bear, then i started to tweak and it came out that wild one with arrow, now i cant decide, it was meant to be bear for beatem-up game, he goes through town and tries to make friends with people but kills them unintentionally, by accident hugging or something. HEre is early footage from the game, but design of the chars dont belong to me, its based on old cartoon and i just did characters http://www.dropbox.com/s/ohmlz0osrh3j7u6/jacekpla.mp4 - http://www.dropbox.com/s/ohmlz0osrh3j7u6/jacekpla.mp4 -- I think i'll go with that design, i wanted also make metal arm for him so he was supposed to be a robot but i dont know...  |

Well, first one looks too skinny on the face and not silly enough, i also gave him stripes on legs but he starts to resemble cat instead of bear --- Started new char today from sketch and will animate him tomorrow   |

Why would you ask which is better if you are going to ignore the response anyway?
Also, I agree first one is better. |

| because its only 1 persons opinion? I still have both heads and can swap them even if anim is done so no worries + i already made the anim without reading thread.I asked other people and they said the fat head look more silly. |

Wow those are fluid. And the character design is really cool. I like the bear on the bottom. Fatter and the neck area looks better imo. I like all these characters! |

Right, that looks amazing, animation is smooth, the graphics are cute and well done. A nice use of colours as well as foreground and background. The SFX fit it too.. but the game, of what you've shown, does not look fun to play unfortunately.
Atleast yet; need to get some more variation up in that game! ;) |

Not trying to be a jerk, but some of these breathing animations look like they have asthma... There's a LOT of movement for breathing lol. I'm not sure if you were going for that, then good job but that really stuck out to me lol. These are very smooth and nice, so good job!  but that's my only complaint.
